Description
Dark matter may scatter off cosmic rays, high-energy neutrinos and gamma-rays in the vicinity of supermassive black holes. I will show that untested parameter space of dark matter-standard model interactions can induce significant effects on multi-messenger emissions from Active Galactic Nuclei, Blazars and Tidal Disruption Events. Conversely, I will discuss how the dark matter and the cosmic neutrino background in these environments can be boosted by cosmic rays, yielding a detectable flux on Earth in some instances.
