摘要: Annihilation of dark matter particles accumulated in the Sun would produce a flux high-energy neutrinos whose prospects detection neutrino telescopes and detectors have been extensively discussed literature. However, for annihilations into Standard Model particles, there also be MeV range from decays at rest muons positively charged pions. These low-energy never considered before they open possibility to constrain annihilation e + , or light quarks. Here we perform detailed analysis using recent Super-Kamiokande data few tens set limits on WIMP-nucleon scattering cross section dierent channels computing evaporation rate WIMPs all values consistent way.
