Probing Light Dark Matter via Evaporation from the Sun

Understand

Dark matter particles can be captured by the sun with rates that depend on the dark matter mass and the DM-nucleon cross section.

However, for masses below $\sim 3.3$ GeV, the captured dark matter particles evaporate, leading to an equilibrium where the rate of captured particles is equal to the rate of evaporating ones.
Unlike dark matter particles from the halo, the evaporating dark matter particles have velocities that are not limited to values below the escape velocity of the galaxy.
Despite the fact that high velocities are exponentially suppressed, I demonstrate here that current underground detectors have the possibility to probe/constrain low dark matter parameter space by (not)-observing the high energy tail of the evaporating dark matter particles from the sun.
