Estimating High-Energy Neutrino Effective Areas from Muon Propagation
Stephan A. Meighen-Berger
Neutrino telescopes observe neutrinos through the muons produced by charged-current interactions. Most of those muons are born kilometers outside the detector, and how much energy…
Astrophysical Neutrino Sources as Colliders
Carlos A. Argüelles, P. S. Bhupal Dev, Bhaskar Dutta +6
High-energy neutrinos arise from processes at large center-of-mass energies, offering a window to test physics at comparable scales or beyond those accessible in collider experimen…
Dark matter energy exchange in stars orbiting supermassive black holes
Stephan A. Meighen-Berger, R. Andrew Gustafson, Nicole F. Bell +3
Stars on tight orbits around the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center pass through regions where the dark matter~(DM) density may be strongly enhanced. We compute the orb…
Towards Measuring the CP-Violating Phase with Atmospheric Neutrinos
John F. Beacom, Nicole F. Bell, Matthew J. Dolan +2
We propose a new approach to measuring the CP-violating phase in neutrino mixing using atmospheric neutrinos, differing significantly from prior work. We develop an up-down flux ra…
New Multi-messenger Probe of Dark Matter-Nucleon Interactions from Ultra-high Energy Cosmic Ray Acceleration
Stephan A. Meighen-Berger, P. S. Bhupal Dev, Matheus Hostert
It has been suggested that the density of dark matter (DM) halo can be highly enhanced around supermassive black holes at the centers of massive galaxies. If real, these DM \emph{s…
Measuring the Cosmic Ray Spectrum with Next Generation Neutrino Detectors
Stephan A. Meighen-Berger, Jayden L. Newstead, Louis E. Strigari
We investigate the capabilities of upcoming kiloton-scale neutrino detectors, such as Hyper-Kamiokande, in determining the primary cosmic ray spectrum. These detectors provide full…
Can local White Dwarfs constrain Dark Matter interactions?
Pooja Bhattacharjee, Sandra Robles, Stephan A. Meighen-Berger +1
We investigate whether nearby white dwarfs (WDs) can constrain dark matter (DM) interactions with ordinary matter. As experimental sensitivity improves, driven by the Gaia mission,…
Extending the Dark Matter Reach of Water Cherenkov Detectors using Jupiter
Sandra Robles, Stephan A. Meighen-Berger
We propose the first method for water Cherenkov detectors to constrain GeV-scale dark matter (DM) below the solar evaporation mass. While previous efforts have highlighted the Sun…
Enhancing DUNE's solar neutrino capabilities with neutral-current detection
Stephan A. Meighen-Berger, Jayden L. Newstead, John F. Beacom +2
We show that the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) has the potential to make a precise measurement of the total active flux of 8B solar neutrinos via neutral-current (NC)…
New Signal of Atmospheric Tau Neutrino Appearance: Sub-GeV Neutral-Current Interactions in JUNO
Stephan A. Meighen-Berger, John F. Beacom, Nicole F. Bell +1
We propose the first practical method to detect atmospheric tau neutrino appearance at sub-GeV energies, which would be an important test of oscillations and o…
Searching for Dark Matter Annihilation with IceCube and P-ONE
Kruteesh Desai, Ruohan Li, Stephan Meighen-Berger
We present a new search for weakly interacting massive particles utilizing ten years of public IceCube data, setting more stringent bounds than previous IceCube analysis on massive…
Dark Matter Hot Spots and Neutrino Telescopes
Stephan Meighen-Berger, Martina Karl
We perform a new dark matter hot spot analysis using ten years of public IceCube data. This analysis assumes dark matter self-annihilates to neutrino pairs and treats the productio…
New Constraints on Supersymmetry Using Neutrino Telescopes
Stephan Meighen-Berger, Matteo Agostini, Alejandro Ibarra +5
We demonstrate that megaton-mass neutrino telescopes are able to observe the signal from long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model, in particular the stau, the supersymmetric…
