Description

We report on the status of WIMP dark matter by exploring the most invisible final state: neutrinos. We provide new model-independent limits on dark matter annihilation into neutrinos in a mass range spanning MeV to ZeV. Interestingly, our limits using the latest SuperK data are inching ever closer to the thermal relic cross section. We also show projections for the next generation of neutrino experiments and explore the region beyond EeV for the first time.
