abstract

Particle dark matter scattering on electrons in the Sun may gravitationally capture and self-annihilate inside it to neutrinos and anti-neutrinos, or other final states that in turn decay to them. Using up-to-date measurements by Super-Kamiokande of the fluxes of atmospheric electron-type and muon-type neutrinos, we set the most stringent limits on the electron scattering cross sections of dark matter down to about $10^{-40}-10^{-39}$ cm$^2$ over a mass range of 4$-$200 GeV. These outdo direct searches for dark matter-electron scattering and previously set limits at IceCube. We also derive corresponding reaches at Hyper-K, and show that atmospheric neutrino observations restricted to the direction of the Sun can improve sensitivities.

  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.

    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...
