abstract

We probe dark matter-electron scattering using high-energy neutrino observations from the Sun. Dark matter (DM) interacting with electrons can get captured inside the Sun. These captured DM may annihilate to produce different Standard Model (SM) particles. Neutrinos produced from these SM states can be observed in IceCube and DeepCore. Although there is no excess of neutrinos in the solar direction, we find that the current datasets of IceCube and DeepCore set the strongest constraint on the DM-electron scattering cross section in the DM mass range $10$\,GeV to $10^5$\,GeV. Therefore our work implies that future observations of the Sun by neutrino telescopes have the potential to discover the DM-electron interaction.

  1. Complementary Planetary Spectroscopy Probes of Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark matter annihilation energy deposited in planetary atmospheres and interiors, compared against existing UV airglow and heat flow measurements, yields new sub-GeV scattering constraints and long-lived mediator reach.

  2. Search for High-Energy Neutrinos From the Sun Using Ten Years of IceCube Data

    hep-ex 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    No dark matter neutrinos from the Sun appear in ten years of IceCube data, so the collaboration sets new world-leading upper limits on high-mass spin-dependent dark matter-nucleon scattering and on solar atmospheric n...

  3. Can a Dark Inferno Melt Earth's Core?

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dark matter annihilation inside Earth would melt a substantial fraction of the inner core for cross sections previously allowed by surface heat-flow limits.

  4. Fermion-Portal Dark Matter at a High-Energy Muon Collider

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At a 10 TeV muon collider, fermion-portal dark matter mediators could be discovered up to about 4.7 TeV, and including the muon parton distribution in simulations lowers the predicted reach and changes signal shapes.

  5. Multipolar Dark Matter Freeze-out in an Early Matter-Dominated Universe

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Entropy dilution from early matter domination reduces the couplings needed for multipolar dark matter to match the observed relic density, reopening regions excluded under radiation domination.

  6. Dark Secrets of Baryons: Illuminating Dark Matter-Baryon Interactions with JWST

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    JWST ultraviolet luminosity function data currently provide the strongest upper limits on velocity-dependent (∝v^{-2}) dark matter–proton scattering for sub-GeV dark matter.

  7. Searching for dark matter annihilation in the Sun with the IceCube Upgrade

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Projected IceCube Upgrade sensitivity could set the strongest spin-dependent dark matter limits for masses from about 5 to 1700 GeV when dark matter annihilates to taus or neutrinos.
