Description

External electroweak bremsstrahlung leads for dark matter (DM) masses much heavier than the weak scale to the break-down of perturbative unitarity, requiring a resummation of large log's similar to the case of QCD. More recently, it has been realised that internal electroweak bremsstrahlung can lift - analogously to the electromagnetic case - the helicity suppression of certain annihilation channels, thereby affecting strongly observable signatures used in indirect DM searches. I review the impact of theses processes on DM annihilation and their signatures.
