Searching for dark matter annihilation to monoenergetic neutrinos with liquid scintillation detectors

Journal Article Kumar, J. ; Sandick, P. - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We consider searches for dark matter annihilation to monoenergetic neutrinos in the core of the Sun. We find that liquid scintillation neutrino detectors have enhanced sensitivity to this class of dark matter models, due to the energy and angular resolution possible for electron neutrinos and antineutrinos that scatter via charged-current interactions. In particular we find that KamLAND, utilizing existing data, could provide better sensitivity to such models than any current direct detection experiment for m{sub X}≲15 Gev. KamLAND’s sensitivity is signal-limited, and future liquid scintillation or liquid argon detectors with similar energy and angular resolution, but with larger exposure, willmore »« less

Foraging for dark matter in large volume liquid scintillator neutrino detectors with multiscatter events

Journal Article Bramante, Joseph ; Broerman, Benjamin ; Kumar, Jason ; ... - Physical Review. D.

We show that dark matter with a per-nucleon scattering cross section ≳10^-28 cm² could be discovered by liquid scintillator neutrino detectors like BOREXINO, SNO+, and JUNO. Due to the large dark matter fluxes admitted, these detectors could find dark matter with masses up to 10²¹ GeV, surpassing the mass sensitivity of current direct detection experiments (such as XENON1T and PICO) by over two orders of magnitude. We derive the spin-independent and spin-dependent cross section sensitivity of these detectors using existing selection triggers, and propose an improved trigger program that enhances this sensitivity by two orders of magnitude. We interpret thesemore »« less
