Enabling Forbidden Dark Matter

Cline, James M., Liu, Hongwan, Slatyer, Tracy R. et al.

Understand

The thermal relic density of dark matter is conventionally set by two-body annihilations.

We point out that in many simple models, $3 \to 2$ annihilations can play an important role in determining the relic density over a broad range of model parameters.
This occurs when the two-body annihilation is kinematically forbidden, but the $3\to 2$ process is allowed; we call this scenario "Not-Forbidden Dark Matter".
We illustrate this mechanism for a vector portal dark matter model, showing that for a dark matter mass of $m_\chi \sim \text{MeV - 10 GeV}$, $3 \to 2$ processes not only lead to the observed relic density, but also imply a self-interaction cross section that can solve the cusp/core problem.
