Understand

For a class of macroscopic dark matter models, inelastic scattering of dark matter off a nucleus can generate electromagnetic signatures with GeV-scale energy.

The IceCube detector, with its kilometer-scale size, is ideal for directly detecting such inelastic scattering.
Based on the slow particle trigger for the DeepCore detector, we perform a detailed signal and background simulation to estimate the discovery potential.
For order 1 GeV deposited energy in each interaction, we find that IceCube can probe the dark matter masses up to one gram.
