Abstract: If multiple thermal weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter candidates exist, then their capture and annihilation dynamics inside a massive star such as Sun could change from conventional method of study. With a simple correction to time evolution of dark matter (DM) number abundance inside the Sun for multiple dark matter candidates, significant changes in DM...
Abstract: Low-energy neutrinos can be a significant background in the search for dark matter (DM) through direct detection. In this context, we aim to quantify the sub-GeV DM-electron scattering parameter space where the neutrino background overshadows any potential DM signal. Because DM and neutrinos have distinct energy spectra, theoretically, they can be distinguished with substantial...
Abstract: Though the Standard Model assumes the neutrinos to be massless, the phenomenon of neutrino oscillation shows that they have tiny but non-zero masses. Scotogenic models, in which neutrino masses are generated at one-loop level and remain tiny due to loop suppression, are very interesting in this regard. In this model, since the beyond Standard Model (BSM) particles entering inside the...
