Xenon-based dark matter detectors, especially DARWIN, could detect neutrinos from MeV-mass dark matter that annihilates to the third neutrino mass eigenstate, with projected sensitivity competitive with Super-Kamiokande.

abstract
We report new limits on spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interaction cross-section using 39.5 kg-days of data taken with a p-type point-contact germanium detector of 840 g fiducial mass at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory. Crucial to this study is the understanding of the selection procedures and, in particular, the bulk-surface events differentiation at the sub-keV range. The signal-retaining and background-rejecting efficiencies were measured with calibration gamma sources and a novel n-type point-contact germanium detector. Part of the parameter space in cross-section versus WIMP-mass implied by various experiments is probed and excluded.

Searching for MeV-mass neutrinophilic Dark Matter with Large Scale Dark Matter Detectors
Xenon-based dark matter detectors, especially DARWIN, could detect neutrinos from MeV-mass dark matter that annihilates to the third neutrino mass eigenstate, with projected sensitivity competitive with Super-Kamiokande.
