Thermodynamic evolution of secluded vector dark matter: conventional WIMPs and nonconventional WIMPs

Abstract The secluded dark matter resides within a hidden sector and self-annihilates into lighter mediators which subsequently decay to the Standard Model (SM) particles. Depending on the coupling strength of the mediator to the SM, the hidden sector can be kinetically decoupled from the SM bath wh...
