High-energy neutrinos from dark matter particle self-capture within the Sun

Journal Article Zentner, Andrew R. - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

A potential flux of high-energy neutrinos from the annihilation of dark matter particles trapped within the Sun has been exploited to place indirect limits on particle dark matter. In most models, the dark matter interacts weakly, but the possibility of a dark matter particle with a large cross section for elastic scattering on other dark matter particles has been proposed in several contexts. I study the consequences of such dark matter self-interactions for the high-energy neutrino flux from annihilation within the Sun. The self-interaction among dark matter particles may allow dark matter in the halo to be captured within themore »« less

Search for right-handed neutrinos from dark matter annihilation with gamma-rays

Journal Article Campos, Miguel D. ; Queiroz, Farinaldo S. ; Yaguna, Carlos E. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Several extensions of the Standard Model contain right-handed (sterile) neutrinos in the GeV-TeV mass range. Due to their mixing with the active neutrinos, they may give rise to novel effects in cosmology, neutrino physics, and collider searches. In addition, right-handed neutrinos can also appear as final states from dark matter annihilations, with important implications for dark matter indirect detection searches. In this paper, we use current data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope (6-year observation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies) and H.E.S.S. (10-year observation of the Galactic center) to constrain the annihilation of dark matter into right-handed neutrinos. We consider right-handedmore »« less

Dark nuclei. I. Cosmology and indirect detection

Journal Article Detmold, William ; McCullough, Matthew ; Pochinsky, Andrew - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

In a companion paper Detmold et al. [Phys. Rev. D 90, 114506 (2014)], lattice field theory methods are used to show that in two-color, two-flavor QCD there are stable nuclear states in the spectrum. As a commonly studied theory of composite dark matter, this motivates the consideration of possible nuclear physics in this and other composite dark sectors. Here in this paper, early Universe cosmology and indirect detection signatures are explored for both symmetric and asymmetric dark matter, highlighting the unique features that arise from considerations of dark nuclei and associated dark nuclear processes. The present day dark matter abundancemore »« less

Leptophilic Dark Matter in Direct Detection Experiments and in the Sun

Conference Kopp, Joachim ; Niro, Viviana ; Schwetz, Thomas ; ...

Dark matter interacting predominantly with leptons instead of nuclear matter has received a lot of interest recently. In this talk, we investigate the signals expected from such 'leptophilic Dark Matter' in direct detection experiments and in experiments looking for Dark Matter annihilation into neutrinos in the Sun. In a model-independent framework, we calculate the expected interaction rates for different scattering processes, including elastic and inelastic scattering off atomic electron shells, as well as loop-induced scattering off atomic nuclei. In those cases where the last effect dominates, leptophilic Dark Matter cannot be distinguished from conventional WIMPs. On the other hand, ifmore »« less

Indirect detection of neutrino portal dark matter

Journal Article Batell, Brian ; Han, Tao ; Shams Es Haghi, Barmak - Physical Review D

We investigate the feasibility of the indirect detection of dark matter in a simple model using the neutrino portal. The model is very economical, with right-handed neutrinos generating neutrino masses through the type-I seesaw mechanism and simultaneously mediating interactions with dark matter. Given the small neutrino Yukawa couplings expected in a type-I seesaw, direct detection and accelerator probes of dark matter in this scenario are challenging. However, dark matter can efficiently annihilate to right-handed neutrinos, which then decay via active-sterile mixing through the weak interactions, leading to a variety of indirect astronomical signatures. We derive the existing constraints on thismore »« less
