Abstract
We present estimates for the rates of the processes and V, where is a heavy-neutral-fermion candidate for galactic cold dark matter and V is a vector quarkonium state (3097) or (9460). A discrepancy with a previous estimate of the rate of the photino pair annihilation process is uncovered and its origin discussed. We explore the possibility that some of the processes considered may be astrophysically significant sources of monochromatic -ray lines, in the energy range of a few to a few tens of GeV, for which theoretical estimates of the background -ray flux are unfortunately subject to large uncertainties.
