We perform a new dark matter hot spot analysis using ten years of public IceCube data. In this analysis we assume dark matter self-annihilates to neutrino pairs and treat the production sites as discrete point sources. For neutrino telescopes these sites will appear as hot spots in the sky, possibly outshining other standard model neutrino sources. Comparing to galactic center analyses, we show that this approach is a powerful tool and capable of setting the highest neutrino detector limits for dark matter masses between 10 TeV and 100 PeV. This is due to the inclusion of spatial information in addition to the typically used energy deposition in the analysis.
Recent analyses of the diffuse TeV-PeV neutrino flux highlight a tension between different Ice-Cube data samples that strongly suggests a two-component scenario rather than a single steep power-law flux. Such a tension is further strengthened once th
In the next decades, ultra-high-energy neutrinos in the EeV energy range will be potentially detected by next-generation neutrino telescopes. Although their primary goals are to observe cosmogenic neutrinos and to gain insight into extreme astrophysi
We describe a characteristic signature of dark matter (DM) annihilation or decay into gamma-rays. We show that if the total angular momentum of the initial DM particle(s) vanishes, and helicity suppression operates to prevent annihilation/decay into
We study neutrino oscillations in a medium of dark matter which generalizes the standard matter effect. A general formula is derived to describe the effect of various mediums and their mediators to neutrinos. Neutrinos and anti-neutrinos receive oppo
The hypothesis of two different components in the high-energy neutrino flux observed with IceCube has been proposed to solve the tension among different data-sets and to account for an excess of neutrino events at 100 TeV. In addition to a standard a
