Aspects of Dark Matter Annihilation in Cosmology

Green, Daniel, Meerburg, P. Daniel, Meyers, Joel

Understand

Cosmic microwave background (CMB) constraints on dark matter annihilation are a uniquely powerful tool in the quest to understand the nature of dark matter.

Annihilation of dark matter to Standard Model particles between recombination and reionization heats baryons, ionizes neutral hydrogen, and alters the CMB visibility function.
Surprisingly, CMB bounds on dark matter annihilation are not expected to improve significantly with the dramatic improvements in sensitivity expected in future cosmological surveys.
In this paper, we will present a simple physical description of the origin of the CMB constraints and explain why they are nearly saturated by current observations.
