Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a well-motivated dark matter (DM) candidate over a wide range of masses. Light, asteroid- mass primordial black holes could be detected using neutrinos produced via Hawking radiation. We discuss using neutrino to search for non-rotating PBHs with monochromatic mass distributions, spanning from 5 × 10^14 g to 10^16 g. We consider the null observations of...
The Sun is a high-energy gamma-ray and neutrino source due to cosmic rays interacting with the solar atmosphere. It is also a popular target for dark matter searches with high-energy neutrinos, as dark matter could be trapped and annihilate at the core of the Sun. However, from the gamma-ray observations with HAWC and Fermi, it is clear that the complex solar magnetic fields play an important...
A precise and model-independent determination of the neutron distribution radius $R_{\rm n}$ and thus the neutron skin thickness $R_{\rm skin}$ of atomic nuclei is of fundamental importance in nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics but remains a big challenge in terrestrial labs. We argue that the nearby core-collapse supernova (CCSN) in our Galaxy may render a neutrino flux with...
