Monoenergetic Neutrinos From Dark Matter Annihilation: Issues of Exposure
arXiv:1510.01847 · doi:10.1063/1.4953309
Abstract
We consider searches for dark matter annihilation in the Sun resulting in monoenergetic neutrinos, produced either directly or through the decay of stopped pions and kaons. We find that this strategy is very successful at increasing the signal-to-background ratio, but that current experiments may be signal limited. We discuss the exposures need to fully exploit this search strategy.
