New constraints on the dark matter-neutrino and dark matter-photon scattering cross sections from TXS 0506+056
read the original abstract
The flux of high energy neutrinos and photons produced in a blazar could get attenuated when they propagate through the dark matter spike around the central black hole and the halo of the host galaxy. Using the observation by IceCube of a few high-energy neutrino events from TXS 0506+056, and their coincident gamma ray events, we obtain new constraints on the dark matter-neutrino and dark matter-photon scattering cross sections. Our constraints are orders of magnitude more stringent than those derived from considering the attenuation through the intergalactic medium and the Milky Way dark matter halo. When the cross-section increases with energy, our constraints are also stronger than those derived from the CMB and large-scale structure.

Astrophysical Neutrino Sources as Colliders
Neutrino point-source observations (IceCube, KM3NeT) can bound inelastic pp and pγ cross sections from √s ≈ 1 GeV to ~10^5 GeV, extending beyond LHC/HERA and sometimes below unitarity limits.

Formation and Redshift Evolution of Dark Matter Spikes
Stellar gravitational heating reduces dark matter spike overdensities by 2-4 orders of magnitude and drives the inner slope to γ_χ ≈ 1.5 within a few Gyrs, remaining above NFW cusps.

Attenuation of the ultra-high-energy neutrino flux by dark matter scatterings
UHE neutrino flux is attenuated by DM scatterings in intergalactic and galactic media, enabling cross-section limits from events like KM3230213A under mild astrophysical assumptions.

On the Blueprint of Active Galaxies Producing Neutrinos
Neutrinos from active galaxies are produced in compact X-ray-bright coronae within about ten Schwarzschild radii of the black hole, and such sources may supply the diffuse neutrino flux.
