The Sun is a promising target for dark matter (DM) searches due to its ability to accumulate DM particles via scattering and catalyze their self-annihilation. However, at low DM masses, DM particles can also "evaporate" due to subsequent…
Sub-GeV Dark Matter particles upscattered by cosmic rays gain enough kinetic energy to pass the thresholds of large volume detectors on Earth. We then use public Super-Kamiokande and MiniBooNE data to derive a novel limit on the scattering…
Dark matter particles captured by the Sun through scattering may annihilate and produce neutrinos, which escape. Current searches are for the few high-energy neutrinos produced in the prompt decays of some final states. We show that…
