    The number density of dark matter calculated assumes no CP violation, negligible phase space occupancy, and chemical equilibrium of Standard Model particles. The Boltzmann equation describes the time evolution of the number density, with the number density of dark matter related to the thermally averaged cross section for dark matter and Standard Model particle interactions and the dark matter equilibrium number density.

    [Question 4]

    The actual number density will be different because


    we assumed that there are no CP violation, negligible
    phase space occupancy, and the Standard Model
    particles are in their chemical equilibrium.

    The Boltzmann equation describing the time


    evolution of the number density is given by:

    Where is the number density of the dark


    matter, is the thermally averaged cross
    section for DM-SM interactions, and is
    the dark matter equilibrium number density.
