Searching for dark matter in the Sun using Hyper-Kamiokande

چکیده
We study the ability of Hyper-Kamiokande (HyperK) experiment, currently under construction, to constrain a neutrino signal produced via annihilation dark matter captured in Sun. simulate upward stopping and through-going muon events at HyperK, using Super-Kamiokande (SuperK) atmospheric results for validation, together with fully partially contained events. Considering various standard model final states, we determined HyperK sensitivity spin-dependent scattering cross-section. find that will improve upon current SuperK limits by factor 2-3, further improvement possible if systematic errors can be decreased relative SuperK.

Searching for Dark Matter
The observational evidence for dark matter on progressively larger cosmic scales is reviewed in a rather pedagogical fashion. Although the emphasis is on dark matter in galaxies and in clusters of galaxies, its cosmological evidence as well as its physical nature are also discussed.
متن کاملCold + Hot Dark Matter after Super-kamiokande
The recent atmospheric neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande provide strong evidence of neutrino oscillations and therefore of non-zero neutrino mass. These data imply a lower limit on the hot dark matter (i.e., light neutrino) contribution to the cosmological density Ων > ∼ 0.001 — almost as much as that of all the stars in the universe — and permit higher Ων . The “standard” COBE-normalized cri...

متن کاملSearching for the Galactic Dark Matter
A straightforward interpretation of the MACHO microlensing results in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds suggests that an important fraction of the baryonic dark matter component of our Galaxy is in the form of old white dwarfs. If correct, this has serious implications for the early generations of stars that formed in the Universe and also on the manner in which galaxies formed and enriche...
متن کاملSearch for neutrinos from annihilation of captured low-mass dark matter particles in the sun by super-kamiokande.
Super-Kamiokande (SK) can search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) by detecting neutrinos produced from WIMP annihilations occurring inside the Sun. In this analysis, we include neutrino events with interaction vertices in the detector in addition to upward-going muons produced in the surrounding rock. Compared to the previous result, which used the upward-going muons only, the s...
