Variations on the vev flip-flop: instantaneous freeze-out and decaying dark matter
Abstract In this work we consider a simple model for dark matter and identify regions of parameter space where the relic abundance is set via kinematic thresholds, which open and close due to thermal effects. We discuss instantaneous freeze-out, where dark matter suddenly freezes-out when the channe...
