Dark matter bound to the Solar System: consequences for annihilation searches
Annika H. G. Peter
One method to search for particle dark matter is to hunt down its annihilation products. In the Solar System, three potential types of signals of annihilation have been identified:…
Dark matter in the solar system III: The distribution function of WIMPs at the Earth from gravitational capture
Annika H. G. Peter
In this last paper in a series of three on weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter in the solar system, we focus on WIMPs bound to the system by gravitationally scat…
Dark matter in the solar system II: WIMP annihilation rates in the Sun
Annika H. G. Peter
We calculate the annihilation rate of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the Sun as a function of their mass and elastic scattering cross section. One byproduct of the…
Dark matter in the solar system I: The distribution function of WIMPs at the Earth from solar capture
Annika H. G. Peter
The next generation of dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments and neutrino telescopes will probe large swaths of dark matter parameter space. In order to interpret the signa…
