Seminarium "High Energy, Cosmology and Astro-particle Physics (HECA)"

Recent theoretical work has explored dark matter accumulation in the Earth and its drift towards the center of the Earth that, for the current age of the Earth, does not necessarily result in a concentration of dark matter in the Earth's core. We consider a scenario of long-lived, super heavy dark matter that is either uniformly distributed throughout the earth or mirrors earth's rock profile, and that decays to tau or muon neutrinos. We explore the potential of a large volume neutrino telescope such as IceCube to detect or constrain signatures of such non-trivial dark matter distributions over a period of 10 years.
