upward-going muon flux from the WIMP annihilation in the sun or the earth
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the upward-going muon flux due to the WIMP annihilations in the cores of the sun and the earth, including the upper bound on the branching ratio for Bs → μμ decay. We find that the constraint from Bs → μμ is very strong in most parameter space, and exclude the supergravity parameter space regions where the expected upward-going muon fluxes are within the expected reach of AMANDA II.

An indirect search for WIMPs in the Sun and the Earth using upward-going muon events in Super-Kamiokande
We present the result of an indirect search for high energy neutrinos from WIMP annihilation in the Sun and in the Earth using upward-going muon events at Super-Kamiokande. Datasets from SKI-SKIII (3109.6 days) were used for the analysis. We looked for excesses of neutrino signal from the Sun and the Earth as compared with the expected atmospheric neutrino background in three types of upward-go...
متن کاملNeutrinos from particle decay in the Sun and Earth.
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) may be indirectly detected by observation of upward muons induced by energetic neutrinos from annihilation of WIMPs that have accumulated in the Sun and/or Earth. Energetic muon neutrinos come from the decays of leptons, c, b, and t quarks, gauge bosons, and Higgs bosons produced by WIMP annihilation. We provide analytic expressions, suitable for com...
متن کاملSearch for WIMPS using Upward-Going Muons in MACRO
We present updated results on the search for a neutrino signal from the core of the Earth and of the Sun induced by Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). In this paper we concentrate on neutralinos as WIMP candidates. The 971 and 642 events used respectively for the search from the Sun and from the Earth are compatible with the background of atmospheric neutrinos. Consequently we calcul...
متن کاملAn Indirect Search for WIMPs with Super-Kamiokande
A potential source of high energy neutrinos is the annihilation of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) collecting in gravitational potential wells such as the centers of the Earth, the Sun, or the Galaxy. A search for such a WIMP annihilation signal using the Super-Kamiokande (SuperK) detector is presented. Super-K observes 1.1 upward throughgoing muons per day. These events are caused...
متن کاملStudy of TeV Neutrinos with Upward Showering Muons in Super-Kamiokande
A subset of neutrino-induced upward through-going muons in the Super-Kamiokande detector consists of high energy muons which lose energy through radiative processes such as bremsstrahlung, ee pair production and photonuclear interactions. These “upward showering muons” comprise an event sample whose mean parent neutrino energy is approximately 1 TeV. We show that the zenith angle distribution o...
