Geometric compatibility of IceCube TeV-PeV neutrino excess and its galactic dark matter origin

Journal Article Bai, Yang ; Lu, Ran ; Salvado, Jordi - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Here, we perform a geometric analysis for the sky map of the IceCube TeV-PeV neutrino excess and test its compatibility with the sky map of decaying dark matter signals in our galaxy. Furthermore, we have found that a galactic decaying dark matter component in general improve the goodness of the fit of our model, although the pure isotropic hypothesis has a better fit than the pure dark matter one. Finally, we also consider several representative decaying dark matter, which can provide a good t to the observed spectrum at IceCube with a dark matter lifetime of around 12 orders ofmore »« less

On the origin of IceCube's PeV neutrinos

Journal Article Cholis, Ilias ; Hooper, Dan - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The IceCube collaboration has recently reported the observation of two events with energies in excess of 1 PeV. While an atmospheric origin of these events cannot be ruled out at this time, this pair of showers may potentially represent the first observation of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos. In this paper, we argue that if these events are neutrino-induced, then the neutrinos are very likely to have been produced via photo-meson interactions taking place in the same class of astrophysical objects that are responsible for the acceleration of the ∼ 10{sup 17} eV cosmic ray spectrum. Among the proposed sources of suchmore »« less

Star-forming galaxies as the origin of the ICECUBE PeV neutrinos

Journal Article Chang, Xiao-Chuan ; Liu, Ruo-Yu ; Wang, Xiang-Yu - Astrophysical Journal

Star-forming galaxies, due to their high star formation rates, and hence large number of supernova remnants (SNRs) therein, are huge reservoirs of cosmic rays (CRs). These CRs collide with gases in galaxies and produce high-energy neutrinos through proton–proton collisions. In this paper, we calculate the neutrino production efficiency in star-forming galaxies by considering realistic galaxy properties, such as the gas density and galactic wind in star-forming galaxies. To calculate the accumulated neutrino flux, we use the infrared luminosity function of star-forming galaxies recently obtained by the Herschel PEP/HerMES survey. The intensity of CRs producing PeV neutrinos in star-forming galaxies is normalized withmore »« less

The direct detection of boosted dark matter at high energies and PeV events at IceCube

Journal Article Bhattacharya, A. ; Gandhi, R. ; Gupta, A. - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We study the possibility of detecting dark matter directly via a small but energetic component that is allowed within present-day constraints. Drawing closely upon the fact that neutral current neutrino nucleon interactions are indistinguishable from DM-nucleon interactions at low energies, we extend this feature to high energies for a small, non-thermal but highly energetic population of DM particle χ, created via the decay of a significantly more massive and long-lived non-thermal relic Φ, which forms the bulk of DM. If χ interacts with nucleons, its cross-section, like the neutrino-nucleus coherent cross-section, can rise sharply with energy leading to deep inelasticmore »« less
