We discuss the effect of kinetic decoupling both for the Sommerfeld enhanced s-wave annihilation and p-wave anihilation cross sections. We find after kientic deeoupling Sommerfeld enhanced annihilations continue to change the particle abundance until the matter domination begins or the Sommerfeld effect cuts off. We provide analytic estimates of this effect.展开更多
