DarkCapPy: Dark matter capture and annihilation
Abstract
DarkCapPy is a Python 3/Jupyter package for calculating rates associated with dark matter capture in the Earth, annihilation into light mediators, and the subsequent observable decay of the light mediators near the surface of the Earth. The package includes a calculation of the Sommerfeld enhancement at the center of the Earth and the timescale for capture–annihilation equilibrium. The code is open source and can be modified for other compact astronomical objects and mediator spins.
