High energy neutrinos from superheavy dark matter annihilation
High energy neutrinos from superheavy dark matter annihilation
Superheavy $(M>{10}^{10}$ GeV) particles produced during inflation may be the dark matter, independent of their interaction strength. Strongly interacting superheavy particles will be captured by the Sun, and their annihilation in the center of the Sun will produce a flux of energetic neutrinos that should be detectable by neutrino telescopes. …
