Superheavy supersymmetric dark matter as the origin of the KM3NeT ultrahigh energy signal

Yongsoo Jho, Seong Chan Park, Chang Sub Shin

原始摘要(英文原文)· Original abstract
We propose an explanation for the recently reported ultrahigh-energy neutrino signal at KM3NeT, which shows no clear association with known astrophysical sources. While decaying dark matter in the Galactic Center is a natural candidate, the observed arrival direction strongly suggests an extragalactic origin. We introduce a multicomponent dark matter scenario in which the components are part of a supermultiplet, with supersymmetry ensuring a nearly degenerate mass spectrum among the fields with different spins. In this setup, a cosmologically long-lived fermionic state decays into a slightly lighter bosonic dark matter state, producing a boosted neutrino spectrum with energy E ν ∼ 100 PeV , determined by the mass difference. The heavy-to-light decay occurs at a cosmological redshift of z ∼ a few or higher, leading to an isotropic directional distribution of the signal.
