abstract

The nonrelativistic annihilation of Majorana dark matter in the Sun to a pair of light fermions is chirality-suppressed. Annihilation to 3-body final states $\ell^+f^-V$, where $V=W,Z,\gamma$, and $\ell$ and $f$ are light fermions (that may be the same), becomes dominant since bremsstrahlung relaxes the chirality suppression. We evaluate the neutrino spectra at the source, including spin and helicity dependent effects, and assess the detectability of each significant bremsstrahlung channel at IceCube/DeepCore. We also show how to combine the sensitivities to the dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section in individual channels, since typically several channels contribute in models.

Monochromatic neutrinos from scotogenic dark matter

hep-ph · 2026-05-06 · conditional · novelty 5.0

A modified scotogenic model makes the lightest pseudo-Dirac singlet a dark matter candidate that annihilates mostly to neutrino pairs near threshold, reproducing the relic abundance while satisfying direct detection and lepton data bounds.
