Neutrinos from captured dark matter annihilation in a galactic population of neutron stars
arXiv:2108.12420 · doi:10.1088/1475-7516/2022/05/001
Abstract
Particulate dark matter captured by a population of neutron stars distributed around the galactic center while annihilating through long-lived mediators can give rise to an observable neutrino flux. We examine the prospect of an idealised gigaton detector like IceCube/KM3NeT in probing such scenarios. Within this framework, we report an improved reach in spin-dependent and spin-independent dark matter nucleon cross-section below the current limits for dark matter masses in the TeV-PeV range.
