Charon: A New Neutrino Generator for WIMP Dark Matter

POSTER

Abstract

Indirect searches for signatures of corpuscular dark matter have been performed using all cosmic messengers: gamma rays, cosmic rays, and neutrinos. The search for dark matter with neutrinos is of particular importance since they are the only courier that can reach detectors from dark matter processes in dense environments, such as the core of the Sun or Earth, or the edge of the observable Universe. One thing essential to experiments is the prediction of the neutrino signature at the detector. In this talk, I will introduce χaroν, a software that bridges the dark sector and Standard Model by predicting neutrino fluxes from different celestial dark matter agglomerations. This package includes neutrino production coupled to a new calculation of electroweak corrections and neutrino propagation to the observer's location.
