Heavy Dark Matter in White Dwarfs: Multiple-Scattering Capture and Thermalization
Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni, Sandra Robles +1
We present an improved treatment for the scattering of heavy dark matter from the ion constituents of a white dwarf. In the heavy dark matter regime, multiple collisions are requir…
Thermalization and Annihilation of Dark Matter in Neutron Stars
Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni, Sandra Robles +1
The capture of dark matter, and its subsequent annihilation, can heat old, isolated neutron stars. In order for kinetic heating to be achieved, the captured dark matter must underg…
Improved Treatment of Dark Matter Capture in Compact Stars
Sandra Robles
Compact stellar objects are promising cosmic laboratories to test the nature of dark matter (DM). DM captured by the strong gravitational field of these stellar remnants transfers…
Disentangling Sub-GeV Dark Matter from the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background using Hyper-Kamiokande
Sandra Robles
The upcoming Hyper-Kamiokande (HyperK) experiment is expected to detect the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB). This requires to ponder all possible sources of background…
Dark Matter Pollution in the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background
Nicole F. Bell, Matthew J. Dolan, Sandra Robles
The Hyper-Kamiokande (HyperK) experiment is expected to precisely measure the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB). This requires that the backgrounds in the relevant energ…
Improved Treatment of Dark Matter Capture in Neutron Stars III: Nucleon and Exotic Targets
Filippo Anzuini, Nicole F. Bell, Giorgio Busoni +4
We consider the capture of dark matter (DM) in neutron stars via scattering on hadronic targets, including neutrons, protons and hyperons. We extend previous analyses by including…
