Analogies between nuclear physics and Dark Matter

A fermionic description of dark matter using analogies with nuclear physics is developed. At tree level, scalar and vector processes are considered and the two-body potential are explicitly calculated using the Breit approximation. We show that the total cross sections in both cases exhibit Sommerfe...

Description
Summary:A fermionic description of dark matter using analogies with nuclear physics is developed. At tree level, scalar and vector processes are considered and the two-body potential are explicitly calculated using the Breit approximation. We show that the total cross sections in both cases exhibit Sommerfeld enhancement.
