探测湮灭/衰变暗物质中微子信号以解释PAMELA和ATIC结果的前景

Prospects for Detecting Neutrino Signals from Annihilating/Decaying Dark Matter to Account for the PAMELA and ATIC results

Jia Liu, Peng-fei Yin, Shou-hua Zhu

摘要:

最近的PAMELA数据表明,正电子分数有超过几个GeV,而反质子的一个没有。此外,ATIC数据表明,电子/正电子通量从300 GeV到800 GeV有一个凸起。如果PAMELA和ATIC的主要最终产物是带电轻子($e$、$μ$和$τ$),那么具有大推进因子的湮灭暗物质(DM)和具有$ 10^{26} s$附近寿命的衰变DM都可以解释它们的观测结果。在这项工作中,我们计算了中微子的流量产生的$μ$和$τ$,起源于湮灭/衰变DM,并估计了最终的μ介子率在中微子望远镜,即Ancavity和IceCube。由于其优异的角分辨率,Ancaster和IceCube有望在湮灭DM场景中发现来自银河系中心和/或大DM子晕的中微子信号,但在衰变DM场景中却极具挑战性。

英文摘要:

Recent PAMELA data show that positron fraction has an excess above several GeV while anti-proton one is not. Moreover ATIC data indicates that electron/positron flux have a bump from 300 GeV to 800 GeV. Both annihilating dark matter (DM) with large boost factor and decaying DM with the life around $ 10^{26} s$ can account for the PAMELA and ATIC observations if their main final products are charged leptons ($e$, $μ$ and $τ$). In this work, we calculated the neutrino flux arising from $μ$ and $τ$ which originate from annihilating/decaying DM, and estimated the final muon rate in the neutrino telescopes, namely Antares and IceCube. Given the excellent angular resolution, Antares and IceCube are promising to discover the neutrino signals from Galactic center and/or large DM subhalo in annihilating DM scenario, but very challenging in decaying DM scenario.
