• Thermal equilibrium with SM
1. Decouple from SM, but still in equilibrium with each other
1. Late time DM conversion at large z2. Slow conversion characterized by r(z)
3. Crossing point
3. Complete decouple (freeze-out) after
Themal evolution
Freeze-out condition

Conditions for a large boost factor
• Large internal degree of freedom of Y2: • Small mass difference:
• Cross sections satisfy:

Summary
In multi-DM models, DM conversion can significantly modify the thermal evolution of each DM component.
The relic density of the DM component may not always inversely proportional to it’s annihilation cross section. Through conversions from heavier DM components, the relic density of light DM can be enhanced, leading to large boost factors.
The boost factor is independent of DM relative velocity. For generic models with large conversion rate the boost fact can reach the value required by PAMELA etc.
