Constraints on heavy decaying dark matter with current gamma-ray measurements
read the original abstract
Among the several strategies for indirect searches of dark matter, one very promising one is to look for the gamma-rays from decaying dark matter. Here we use the most up-to-date upper bounds on the gamma-ray flux from $10^5$ to $10^{11}$ GeV, obtained from CASA-MIA, KASCADE, KASCADE-Grande, Pierre Auger Observatory, and Telescope Array. We obtain global limits on dark matter lifetime in the range of masses $m_\mathrm{DM}=[10^7-10^{15}]~\mathrm{GeV}$. We provide the bounds for a set of decay channels chosen as representatives. The constraints derived here are new and cover a region of the parameter space not yet explored. We compare our results with the projected constraints from future neutrino telescopes, in order to quantify the improvement that will be obtained by the complementary high-energy neutrino searches.

Testing Heavy Dark Matter Decay as the Origin of KM3-230213A
Assuming the KM3-230213A event comes from heavy dark matter decay, the preferred mass exceeds 100 PeV at 95% CL with lifetimes of 10^26-10^27 s, but these regions conflict with bounds from other neutrino telescopes an...
