Zero-range effective field theory for resonant wino dark matter. Part I. Framework

Abstract The most dramatic “Sommerfeld enhancements” of neutral-wino-pair annihilation occur when the wino mass is near a critical value where there is a zero-energy S-wave resonance at the neutral-wino-pair threshold. Near such a critical mass, low-energy winos can be described by a zero-range effe...
