Multiscatter stellar capture of dark matter

Bramante, Joseph, Delgado, Antonio, Martin, Adam

Understand

Dark matter may be discovered through its capture in stars and subsequent annihilation.

It is usually assumed that dark matter is captured after a single scattering event in the star, however this assumption breaks down for heavy dark matter, which requires multiple collisions with the star to lose enough kinetic energy to become captured.
We analytically compute how multiple scatters alter the capture rate of dark matter and identify the parameter space where the affect is largest.
Using these results, we then show how multiscatter capture of dark matter on compact stars can be used to probe heavy ($m_X >$ TeV) dark matter with remarkably small dark matter-nucleon scattering cross-sections.
