Unveiling Dark Matter: Innovations in Neutrino Detectors and Radio Telescopes
Physicists have proposed a new method to detect dark matter (DM) particles by searching for signals of their annihilation inside large neutrino detectors. Unlike traditional direct detection experiments, this approach focuses on the annihilation signals, which are not limited to tiny amounts of kinetic energy. The researchers suggest that Earth-bound DM particles, theorized to be highly abundant, could be detected by looking for their annihilation signals in large-volume neutrino detectors like Super-Kamiokande. This new method could provide unprecedented sensitivity to DM parameters and contribute to the ongoing search for DM.
