The short-dashed lines refer to the constant width approximation γ DM (v rel ) = γ DM (2 δ 1/2 ) = η δ 1/2 (corresponding to Γ DM (M 2 )), which can be obtained for δ < 0, whereas for δ > 0 long-dashed curves were obtained for γ DM = 0.

9 Resonance beyond the B-W: σv rel (x) dy dx = λ 0 x 2 R(x)(Y 2 Y 2 EQ) with R(x) σv rel (x) At low x, σv rel (x) is larger for the naive constant width approximation than for velocity dependent one. Velocity dependent width implies higher asymptotic DM yield.

11 Early kinetic decoupling and coupled Boltzmann equations If dark matter decouples kinetically, when it is non-relativistic and its thermal distribution is maintained by self-scatterings, then the DM temperature T DM evolves according to T DM R 2, The temperature of the radiation-dominated SM thermal bath, scales as T R 1. { T, if T T T DM = kd T 2 /T kd, if T < T kd, where T stands for the SM temperature.

12 Early kinetic decoupling and coupled Boltzmann equations The DM relic density can be obtained by solving the Boltzmann equation dy (x) = λ [ ] 0 dx x 2 R(x DM) Y 2 (x) YEQ(x) 2, where x m T, x DM and m T DM R(x DM ) = σv rel (x DM ) = x3/2 DM σv rel 0 2 π Y EQ (x) = 45 π g 2π 4 x 3/2 e x 8 g 0 dvv 2 e x DM v 2 /4 δ 2 + γ(0) 2 (δ + v 2 /4) 2 + γ(v) 2 The thermal average of the annihilation cross-section is calculated at with x kd m/t kd. x DM = M DM T DM = x2 x kd

The blue curves show the solution of the set of BE, whereas the green ones refer to the sharp splitting at x kd = 90. For the red curves dark matter remains in the kinetic equilibrium during its whole evolution. Dashed curves present the corresponding results for the standard Breit-Wigner approximation (with γ δ).

19 Generic conclusions on the BW approximation Remarks: The presence of velocity-dependent width implies that Y decouples at lower x (as compared to the case with constant width Γ(M 2 )) and the asymptotic DM yield is much larger. The asymptotic yield expected in the early decoupling scenario is substantially reduced by more ecient annihilation, R(x DM ) x x R(x) R(x). kd Both eects cancel to same extend, so that the increase by the velocity depended width is reduced by 50%.

20 U(1) VDM model The model: extra U(1) gauge symmetry (A µ X ), a complex scalar eld S, whose vev generates a mass for the U(1)'s vector eld, S = (0, 1, 1, 1) under U(1) Y SU(2) L SU(3) c U(1) SM elds neutral under U(1), to ensure stability of the new vector boson, a Z2 symmetry is assumed to forbid U(1)-kinetic mixing between U(1) and U(1) Y. The extra gauge boson A µ X and the scalar S eld transform under Z 2 as follows A µ X Aµ X, S S, where S = φe iσ, so φ φ, σ σ. T. Hambye, JHEP 0901 (2009) 028, O. Lebedev, H. M. Lee, and Y.

Adopting the minimization conditions µ H, µ S could be replaced by v and v x. The SM vev is xed at v = GeV. Using the condition M h1 = GeV, v 2 x could be eliminated in terms of v 2, λ H, κ, λ S, λ SM = M 2 h 1 /(2v 2 ): v 2 x = v 2 4λ SM (λ H λ SM ) 4λ S (λ H λ SM ) κ 2 Eventually there are 4 independent parameters: (λ H, κ, λ S, g x ), where g x is the U(1) coupling constant.

White regions in the upper and lower parts are disallowed by the positivity conditions for v 2 x and M 2 h 2, respectively.

27 U(1) VDM model The mass of the Higgs boson is known experimentally therefore within the SM the initial condition for running of λ H (Q) is xed λ H (m t ) = M 2 h 1 /(2v 2 ) = λ SM = 0.13 For VDM this is not necessarily the case: Mh 2 1 = λ H v 2 + λ S vx 2 ± λ 2 Svx 4 2λ H λ S v 2 vx 2 + λ 2 Hv 4 + κ 2 v 2 vx. 4 VDM: Larger initial values of λh such that λ H (m t ) > λ SM are allowed delaying the instability (by shifting up the scale at which λ H (Q) < 0). Even if the initial λh is smaller than its SM value, λ H (m t ) < λ SM, still there is a chance to lift the instability scale if appropriate initial value of the portal coupling κ(m t ) is chosen. β (1) SM (1) λ H = βλ H + κ 2

29 Resonant self-interaction of VDM In the VDM model, the self-interaction cross-section (Z Z Z Z ) at relative velocity v 0 can be written in the vicinity of the resonance as σ self M Z g 8π v=v 0 4 xm Z R 4 2i [4M 2 Z (1 + v2 0/4) M 2 h i ] 2 + Γ 2 h i (v 0 )M 2 h i, where R is the scalar mixing matrix (R 21 = sin α and R 22 = cos α). The velocity-dependent width equals Γ hi (v 0 ) = R 2 1iΓ SM + ηm hi v 0 /2, where Γ SM is the SM value of the Higgs width.

Colouring with respect to α the dispersive velocity v 0 equal to 10 km/s (left panel) and 1 km/s (right panel). The maximal value of η in the VDM model, η = 3/16, was chosen.

41 Summary Breit-Wigner approximation was modied by adopting s-dependent width ( IΣ(s)), eects are large. If non-dm contribution to the resonance width is non-negligible, then the DM abundance implies early kinetic decoupling with important numerical consequences. A possibility of enhancing the dark-matter self-interaction cross-section (σ self /M DM ) by s-channel resonance was considered in a model independent way. To illustrate generic results a model of vector U(1) dark matter (VDM) was introduced and discussed (extra neutral Higgs boson h 2 ). Within VDM model a gauge dependence and unitarity violation of the resonance enhancement was discussed. When the Fermi-LAT limits are taken into account, heavy 1 TeV DM is favored and only very limited enhancement of σ self /M DM O(10 5 ) GeV 3 is possible.
