Superheavy dark matter and IceCube neutrino signals:bounds on decaying dark matter
arXiv:1408.4575 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.92.023529
Abstract
Superheavy dark matter may show its presence in high energy neutrino signals detected on earth. From the latest results of IceCube, we could set the strongest lower bound on the lifetime of dark matter beyond 100 TeV around $10^{28} {\rm sec}$. The excess around a PeV is noticed and may be interpreted as the first signal of DM even though further confirmation and dedicated searches are invited.
