abstract

We constrain the neutrino-dark matter cross section using properties of the dark matter density profiles of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The constraint arises from core-collapse supernova neutrinos scattering on dark matter as a form of energy injection, allowing the transformation of the dark matter density profile from a cusped profile to a flatter profile. We assume a standard cosmology of dark energy and cold, collisionless, and non-self-interacting dark matter. By requiring that the dark matter cores do not lose too much mass or overshoot constraints from stellar kinematics, we place an upper limit on the cross section of $\sigma_{\nu-\mathrm{DM}}(E_\nu=15 \, \mathrm{MeV}, m_\chi\lesssim130 \, \mathrm{GeV}) \approx 3.4 \times 10^{-23} \, \mathrm{cm^2}$ and $\sigma_{\nu-\mathrm{DM}}(E_\nu=15 \, \mathrm{MeV}, m_\chi\gtrsim130 \, \mathrm{GeV}) \approx 3.2 \times 10^{-27} \left( \frac{m_\chi}{1\,\mathrm{GeV}}\right)^2\, \mathrm{cm^2}$, which is stronger than previous bounds for these energies. Consideration of baryonic feedback or host galaxy effects on the dark matter profile can strengthen this constraint.

  1. Dark matter scattering with pre-supernova neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Attenuation of pre-supernova electron antineutrinos by local dark matter yields upper limits on the reduced DM–ν cross section of order 10^{-21} cm^{2}/GeV at detectors such as JUNO, Super-K and KamLAND.

  2. New Constraints on Neutrino-Dark Matter Interactions: A Comprehensive Analysis

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Most benchmark neutrino-dark matter couplings adopted in previous studies are excluded when laboratory meson and Z decay bounds are combined with cosmological and astrophysical constraints, leaving only special galact...

  3. The Highest-Energy Neutrino Event Constrains Dark Matter-Neutrino Interactions

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    KM3-230213A limits dark matter-neutrino scattering to below about 1e-22 cm^2/GeV at 220 PeV, but most simple dark matter models are excluded by unitarity above MeV masses.

  4. Cosmological impact of $\nu$DM interactions enhanced in narrow redshift ranges

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A redshift-limited dark matter-neutrino interaction reproduces the observed preference for non-zero coupling in CMB and cosmic shear data and evades small-scale structure bounds.
