Abstract
The Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) so far remain one of the most popular candidates for dark matter. If captured gravitationally inside the core of the Sun, these WIMPs may produce high energy neutrinos as the end product in case they undergo self annihilations at the solar core. In this work, we address the detectability of such neutrinos at the proposed KM3NeT detector. Upper bounds of the detection rate for such neutrinos at KM3NeT are computed for the case of a generic dark matter scenario and also when specific models for particle dark matter are chosen. In this work, upper bounds of muon event rates for different annihilating dark matter masses are computed for each of the cases of dark matter annihilation channels (e.g. etc). These upper bounds are also computed by considering the dark matter scattering cross-section using upper bounds obtained from PandaX-4T direct dark matter search experiment.
