Effective field theory analysis of composite higgsino-like and wino-like
  thermal relic dark matter
  We study the effective field theory (including operators up to dimension
five) of models in which dark matter is composite, consisting of either an
electroweak doublet Dirac fermion (`higgsino-like dark matter') or an
electroweak triplet Majorana fermion (`wino-like dark matter'). Some of the
dimension-five operators in the former case cause mass splittings between the
neutralino and chargino states, leading to a depleted rate of coannihilations
and viable thermal relic dark matter with masses of the order of tens to
hundreds of GeV rather than the usual pure higgsino thermal relic mass of 1
TeV. No such effects are found in the latter case (where the usual thermal
relic mass is 3 TeV). Other operators, present for both wino- and higgsino-like
dark matter, correspond to inelastic electromagnetic dipole moment interactions
and annihilation through these can lead to viable models with dark matter
masses up by an order of magnitude compared to the usual values.
