Understand

We investigate a scenario where dark matter (DM) particles can be captured and accumulate in the Sun, and subsequently annihilate into a pair of long-lived mediators.

These mediators can decay further out in the Sun or outside of the Sun.
Compared to the standard scenario where DM particles annihilate directly into Standard Model particles close to the solar core, here we also obtain fluxes of gamma rays and charged cosmic rays.
We simulate this scenario using a full three-dimensional model of the Sun, and include interactions and neutrino oscillations.
