Description
Upcoming gamma-ray telescopes offer the prospect of sensitivity to the canonical thermal-relic annihilation cross section up to mass scales of tens of TeV. I will discuss new precise predictions for high-energy gamma-ray signals from the classic "minimal dark matter" benchmark models, including bound-state formation and resummation of large logarithms, in the case where the dark matter inhabits a real representation of the Standard Model SU(2) group. I will show that under conservative assumptions on the dark matter density profile, the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) should be capable of detecting or excluding almost all these scenarios.
