Analogies between nuclear physics and dark matter

Keywords: dark matter, Sommerfeld enhancement

Abstract

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.
