Nonlocal effects from boosted dark matter in indirect detection

Neutrino Oscillation Effects in Indirect Detection of Dark Matter

If neutrino oscillation plays a role in explaining the atmospheric neutrino deficit, then the same phenomenon would necessarily affect also the dark matter indirect-detection signal which consists in a muon-neutrino flux produced by neutralino annihilation in the Earth core. In this paper we investigate to which extent the upgoingmuon signal originated by neutralinos captured inside the Earth w...

Uncertainties in Dark Matter Indirect Detection

Indirect Detection of Little Higgs Dark Matter

Little Higgs models with T parity contain an attractive dark matter candidate, the heavy photon. We compute the cross section of the heavy photon annihilation into Zphoton pairs, which turns out to be substantially higher than the previously computed cross section for the two photon final state. Unfortunately, even with this enhancement, the monochromatic photon flux from galactic heavy photon ...

The Indirect Detection of Halo Dark Matter

High energy particles are produced by the annihilation of dark matter particles in our galaxy. These are presently searched for using balloon-borne an-tiproton and positron detectors and large area, deep underground neutrino telescopes. Dark matter particles, trapped inside the sun, are an abundant source of such neutrinos. From both the cosmological and particle physics points of view the ligh...

Indirect detection of unstable heavy dark matter

Unstable relics with lifetime longer than the age of the Universe could be the dark matter today. Electrons, photons and neutrinos are a natural outcome of their decay and could be searched for in cosmic rays and in γ-ray and neutrino detectors. I compare the sensitivities of these three types of searches to the mass and lifetime of a generic unstable particle. I show that if the relics constit...
