Searches for dark matter (DM) have not provided any solid evidence for the existence of weakly interacting massive particles in the GeV-TeV mass range. Coincidentally, the scale of new physics is being pushed by collider searches well beyond the TeV domain. This situation strongly motivates the exploration of DM masses much larger than a TeV. Secluded scenarios contain a natural way around the unitarity bound on the DM mass, via the early matter domination induced by the mediator of its interactions with the Standard Model. High-energy neutrinos constitute one of the very few direct accesses to energy scales above a few TeV. An indirect search for secluded DM signals has been performed with the ANTARES neutrino telescope using data from 2007 to 2015. Upper limits on the DM annihilation cross section for DM masses up to 6 PeV are presented and discussed.

    hep-ex 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Assuming the KM3-230213A event comes from heavy dark matter decay, the preferred mass exceeds 100 PeV at 95% CL with lifetimes of 10^26-10^27 s, but these regions conflict with bounds from other neutrino telescopes an...

  2. Heavy singlet fermionic dark matter with $Z_4$ symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    In the Z4-symmetric singlet fermionic DM model with a new scalar, viable heavy-DM parameter space in the secluded regime permits non-negligible Higgs mixing while satisfying relic density and direct detection bounds.
