论文摘要
暗物质的难以捉摸的本质(DM)仍然是一个遥不可及的谜。巨大的努力致力于寻找与标准模型粒子相互作用微弱的签名。在这项工作中,我们探讨了与超新星中微子相互作用的轴轴DM的签名:中微子增强的轴轴DM($ν$ badm)。我们专注于$ν$ badm在银河磁场中转换为光子,产生奇特的伽马射线通量。该信号落在探索不佳的MEV能量范围内,下一代伽马射线任务将探讨。再次,天体物理搜索可能是基本物理学的探测,揭示了DM的性质和特性。
The elusive nature of Dark Matter (DM) remains a mystery far from being solved. A vast effort is dedicated to search for signatures of feeble DM interactions with Standard Model particles. In this work, we explore the signatures of axion DM boosted by interactions with Supernova neutrinos: Neutrino-Boosted Axion DM ($ν$BADM). We focus on $ν$BADM converting into photons in the Galactic magnetic field, generating a peculiar gamma-ray flux. This signal falls in the poorly explored MeV energy range, that will be probed by next generation gamma-ray missions. Once more, astrophysical searches might act as a probe of fundamental physics, unveiling the nature and properties of DM.
