In this talk, I present ongoing work on Boltzmann framework to study dark matter in the Hidden Vector Sector model. The calculation includes all relevant processes at once: WIMP annihilations, SIMP-like, and forbidden channels. By solving the coupled evolution of the dark matter abundance, the dark scalar, and the dark-sector temperature, we can identify how different mechanisms dominate at...
