micrOmega giving unexpected peculiar result

Asked by Satyabrata Mahapatra

Dear Prof. Pukhov,
We are working on a project and in recent few days we have experimented a few things using CalcHEP and micrOmega 5.0.8.
We feel that there is a bug in the micrOmega because of which we are getting some unexpected peculiar result in our work. To ascertain the results we have also implemented a Toy Model in calcHEP and we are getting similar results for the Toy Model too.

The Details are given below:

Particles in the Dark Sector:
χ1 , χ2 (Z 2 odd fermions)
Let the corresponding masses are M1 , M2 . Assuming M1 < M2 , χ1 becomes the Dark
Matter candidate. Let these two particles (χ1 and χ2 ) interact with SM Higgs (h) with non-renormalizable
operators.

Conventionally, what one would expect is that with increase in the mass-splitting (∆M ) among the dark-sector particles, we expect the thermally averaged cross-section to decrease and consequently the relic density to increase.

But the results we are getting are opposite of it.
we are puzzled about the following two points:
1) How the thermal averaged annihilation cross-section of χ1 (i.e. χ1 χ1 → h h) depends on
the mass splitting (∆M ) or the NLSP mass (M2 )?

2) Why the thermal averaged annihilation cross-section is increasing instead of decreasing with the increase of the mass-splitting ?

I have already sent an email with the results we are getting.
Waiting for your reply.

Thanks and Regards,
Satyabrata

Dear Satyabrata,

we need to see your model,
in particular how the couplings of your model are related tot he mass split.

If some couplings in your model are proportional to the mass split, then
the cross section will be proportional to mass-split square.
We need to see you model to answer your question. Description in words
is not enough.

Regards,
Alexander Belyaev

Respected Prof. Belyaev,
This is just a polite reminder about a query that I had asked one week ago.
In our model, though none of the couplings are mass-splitting dependent,
still we are getting results where the thermal averaged cross-section is
increasing with mass-splitting instead of decreasing. Also in the absence
of any co-annihilation vertex in the model, we are still observing that the
thermal averaged cross-section is dependent on the mass-splitting.

I had already sent you the model files to check and help us understand the
problem and resolving it.

I am attaching the same in this mail again.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Satyabrata,

sorry  for slow reply.
In the model you have sent to me
the cross sectio n for χ1 χ1 → h h
does not depend on delM -- the MX1-MX2 mass split.

What makes you think that thermally averaged cross-section
depends on delM

Please give me your concrete numbers and explain how did you calculate them.

Thank you,
Alexander

Respected Prof. Belyaev,
I had sent you a note in my first mail where we have shown the results.
I am attaching the same note with this mail. Please refer to it for details.

The thermal averaged cross-sections are calculated using micrOmega( using
the vSigma(T,Beps,fast) routine.).

We expect that the thermal averaged annihilation cross-section (in absence
of all co-annihilation vertices) be independent of mass-splitting and the
effective thermal averaged cross-section ( with all annihilations and
co-annihilations included) should decrease with the increase in
mass-splitting.
But we are getting the opposite results.
The same thing is happening in the model we are working on too. So to
ascertain our results we implemented this toy model.

Please check it and let me know if I am missing anything in understanding
or is there any mistake in the procedure we are following.

Waiting for your reply.

Thanks and Regards,
Satyabrata

Thanks a lot,
sorry for missing it.
I see now what you have got.
But I can not reproduce it.
Could you send me the code you have used to get these cross section
behaviour?
I need to see how exactly did you set parameters.
Thank you,
Alexander

Respected Sir,
Please find the attached code we used for obtaining the results shown in
the note.
I am using micrOmegas 5.0.8 for the calculation.
Please let us know if you find any mistakes.

Thanks & Regards,

Alexander Belyaev (alexander.belyaev) said :

Dear Satyabrata,

I reproduce your results, but there is no mistake neither in your code
not in micrOMEGAs

The point is that
vSigma(tm,Beps,fast) is NORMALISED on the masses of ALL DM particles,
see equation (1) in micrOMEGAs manual.
Normalisation factor is contains the SUM of  K2() functions which falls
with M_X2 increase even if
the cross section of X2 X2->hh is zero. This is because X2 will still
contribute into the thermal equilibrium. So, wehn delta M increasing,
normalisation is decreasing and you have increase in sigmav -- this is
how it is defined.

And the same does
vSigmaCC(tm, newProcess("~x1,~X1 -> h, h"),1)
the sum of all vSigmaCC with the last argument 1 -- give  you
vSigma(tm,Beps,fast)

So, your code and micromegas give the correct result

Best
Alexander

Alexander Pukhov (pukhov) said :
#10

Dear  Satyabrata Mahapatra,

It is very good that you paid  attention  to  this moment.

Let me explain to you what's going on with one example.  But first of
all  I have a note about normalization factors.

If we have a particle which annihilates with anti-particle, then number
of events in space-time unit is

        N= vsigma*rho^2, where rho - in a number density of particles (
not summary density of particles and antiparticles)

If we have a particle which annihilates with itself then

        N=0.5 vsigma*rho^2

In general  for particle - anti-particle system   we also can expect
reactions  particle,particle->SM,SM and in some models we indeed  see
such reactions.

micrOMEGAs defines  vSigma as

            vSigma =     2* Nevents /(rho_DM)^2

where rho_DM includes both particles and anti-particles, and Nevents
takes into account both particle - anti-particles and particle -
particle annihilation if they take place.

Let we  have 2 particles 1 and 2 which annihilate with their
antiparticles with the same  rates vs. If mass gap is zero, then they
have the same density rho and

rho_DM =4*rho, Nevents=  2*vs*rho^2,  vSigma= 2*vs*rho^2/(16*rho)^2=  vs/8

When we increase mass gap  significantly  the second particle disappears
and we have

rho_DM =2*rho, Nevents=vs*rho^2 , vSigma= vs/4

So, it becomes twice larger, as you observe.

The key point is as  follows. vSigma=vs only  if all pairs of
interaction  ( particle - anti-particle and particle_1 - particle_2)
have the same vs. But in your ( it is the usual ) case many interactions
are absent and we  have   vSigma= vs/8. *When one particle  is avoid by
mass shift then percent of  zero interaction channels   decreases and
vSigma increases. *

If you include 1,(anti) 2 ->SM,SM reaction with the same rate vs, then
vSgma will not depend on mass gap.

I hope it is clear. If not, write me once more and I'll try to find
another words.

Best

    Alexander Pukhov
