Neutrinos from captured dark matter annihilation in a galactic population of neutron stars [CL]

http://arxiv.org/abs/2108.12420


Particulate dark matter captured by a population of neutron stars distributed around the galactic center while annihilating through long-lived mediators can give rise to an observable neutrino flux. We examine the prospect of an idealized gigaton detector like IceCube/KM3Net in probing such scenarios. Within this framework, we report an improved reach in the dark matter nucleon cross-section below the current limits for dark matter masses in the ${\rm TeV – PeV}$ range.
