Hadronically decaying heavy dark matter and high-energy neutrino limits [HEAP]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1611.08684


We consider dark matter consisting of long-living particles with masses $10^{7}~\lesssim~M~\lesssim~10^{16}$ GeV decaying through hadronic channel as a source of high energy neutrinos. Using recent data on high energy neutrino from IceCube and Pierre Auger experiments we derive the upper-limits on neutrino flux from dark matter decay and constraints on dark matter parameter space. The constraints derived are weaker that these obtained for the same dark matter models using the high energy gamma-ray limits.
