Manual for SE+BSF4DM -- A micrOMEGAs package for Sommerfeld Effect and Bound State Formation in colored Dark Sectors
Abstract
This manual describes the usage and implementation of SE+BSF4DM, an add-on package for micrOMEGAs that includes the Sommerfeld effect and bound state formation in the numerical evaluation of the dark matter relic density for QCD-colored dark sectors, applicable to any model that can be mapped onto a simplified t-channel framework. The package seamlessly integrates these non-perturbative effects into the standard micrOMEGAs workflow, requiring minimal user modification. This document provides a comprehensive guide to the installation, configuration, and usage of SE+BSF4DM, serving as a practical user guide for dark matter phenomenologists.
