Search for neutrinos from decaying dark matter with IceCube: IceCube Collaboration

Journal Article Aartsen, M. G. ; Ackermann, M. ; Adams, J. ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

With the observation of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, interest has risen in models of PeV-mass decaying dark matter particles to explain the observed flux. We present two dedicated experimental analyses to test this hypothesis. One analysis uses 6 years of IceCube data focusing on muon neutrino ‘track’ events from the Northern Hemisphere, while the second analysis uses 2 years of ‘cascade’ events from the full sky. Known background components and the hypothetical flux from unstable dark matter are fitted to the experimental data. Since no significant excess is observed in either analysis, lower limits on themore »« less

Oscillations of sterile neutrinos from dark matter decay eliminates the IceCube-Fermi tension

Journal Article Anchordoqui, Luis A. ; Barger, Vernon ; Marfatia, Danny ; ... - Physical Review D

IceCube has observed a flux of cosmic neutrinos, with a “bump” in the energy range 10 ≲ E/TeV≲100 that creates a 3σ tension with γ-ray data from the Fermi satellite. This has been interpreted as evidence for a population of hidden cosmic-ray accelerators. Here, we propose an alternative explanation of this conundrum on the basis of cold dark matter which decays into sterile neutrinos after oscillations produce the bump in the cosmic neutrino spectrum.

Heavy right-handed neutrino dark matter and PeV neutrinos at IceCube

Journal Article Dev, P.S. Bhupal ; Kazanas, D. ; Mohapatra, R. N. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We discuss a simple non-supersymmetric model based on the electroweak gauge group SU(2){sub L}×SU(2){sup ′}×U(1){sub B−L} where the lightest of the right-handed neutrinos, which are part of the leptonic doublet of SU(2){sup ′}, play the role of a long-lived unstable dark matter with mass in the multi-PeV range. We use a resonant s-channel annihilation to obtain the correct thermal relic density and relax the unitarity bound on dark matter mass. In this model, there exists a 3-body dark matter decay mode producing tau leptons and neutrinos, which could be the source for the PeV cascade events observed in the IceCubemore »« less

IceCube neutrinos, decaying dark matter, and the Hubble constant

Journal Article Anchordoqui, Luis A. ; Barger, Vernon ; Goldberg, Haim ; ... - Physical Review D

Reference [1] was revised after our paper was published. The dark-matter decay width required to reconcile the tension in the determination of the Hubble constant was reduced by 2 orders of magnitude.

Are IceCube neutrinos unveiling PeV-scale decaying dark matter?

Journal Article Esmaili, Arman ; Serpico, Pasquale Dario, E-mail: aesmaili@ifi.unicamp.br, E-mail: serpico@lapth.cnrs.fr - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Recent observations by IceCube, notably two PeV cascades accompanied by events at energies ∼ (30–400) TeV, are clearly in excess over atmospheric background fluxes and beg for an astroparticle physics explanation. Although some models of astrophysical accelerators can account for the observations within current statistics, intriguing features in the energy and possibly angular distributions of the events make worth exploring alternatives. Here, we entertain the possibility of interpreting the data with a few PeV mass scale decaying dark matter, with lifetime of the order of 10{sup 27} s. We discuss generic signatures of this scenario, including its unique energy spectrum distortionmore »« less
