For a massive real scalar with one internal degree of freedom with x=m/Tϕ​≫1, fixed separately conserved visible and dark entropy ratio ξ, and relativistic visible bath with entropy degrees of freedom g∗sSM​,
Tϕ​Tγ​​∼[2π2(2π)3/245​]1/3(g∗sSM​ξ​)1/3x5/6e−x/3.

Indeed, equate sSM​=(2π2/45)g∗sSM​Tγ3​ to ξsϕ​ and use nonrelativistic entropy at zero chemical potential. For g internal states the right side gains g1/3. The nonrelativistic species cannot be assigned a constant relativistic entropy count.
