Description
Considering dark matter annihilation to neutrinos in the Galactic halo, we discuss the prospects for the indirect detection of dark matter using the Hyper-Kamiokande neutrino experiment. We also quantify the extent to which the annihilation of low-mass dark matter to neutrinos could confuse the interpretation of the diffuse supernova neutrino background signal. Finally, we consider a neutrino signal produced via the annihilation of dark matter captured in the Sun and present projected limits on the dark matter spin-dependent scattering cross-section.
