Limits to Gauge Coupling in the Dark Sector Set by the Nonobservation of Instanton-Induced Decay of Super-Heavy Dark Matter in the Pierre Auger Observatory Data

P. Abreu et al.

Summary: Instantons are nonperturbative solutions to Yang-Mills equations, indicating quantum tunneling phenomena between different vacua. We analyze data from the Pierre Auger Observatory to search for signs of instanton-induced processes, suggesting the decay of super-heavy particles in the Galactic halo. By not observing these signatures, we establish an upper limit on the coupling constant of gauge interactions in the dark sector: alpha X < 0.09, for 109 < MX < 1019 GeV. Furthermore, we find that a reduced coupling constant of alpha X = 0.09 excludes masses MX greater than or similar to 3 x 1013 GeV. These constraints complement those obtained from the nonobservation of tensor modes in the cosmic microwave background, providing insights into dark matter production.

Cosmological implications of photon-flux upper limits at ultrahigh energies in scenarios of Planckian-interacting massive particles for dark matter

P. Abreu et al.

Summary: Using data from the Pierre Auger Observatory, we conducted a search for signatures of super-heavy particle decay in the Galactic halo. We presented upper limits on the expected fluxes of secondary by-products from the decay, and derived constraints on the couplings governing the decay process. Assuming instanton-induced decay processes, we obtained bounds on the reduced coupling constant of gauge interactions in the dark sector.

Diffuse Flux of Ultra-high-energy Photons from Cosmic-Ray Interactions in the Disk of the Galaxy and Implications for the Search for Decaying Super-heavy Dark Matter

Corine Berat et al.

Summary: This study estimates the expected photon flux above 10^17 eV from the interactions of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays with matter in the Galactic disk, taking uncertainties into account. The results show that the photon flux is averaged out in specific areas, and this diffuse flux becomes one of the dominant fluxes from cosmic-ray interactions.

Constraints on Heavy Decaying Dark Matter from 570 Days of LHAASO Observations

Zhen Cao et al.

Summary: In this study, the kilometer square array (KM2A) of the large high altitude air shower observatory (LHAASO) was used to analyze dark matter by searching for signals at energies above 10 TeV. The results showed no excess of dark matter signals and placed strong constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles. These findings have important implications for dark matter interpretations of the diffuse astrophysical high-energy neutrino emission.

P. Abreu et al.

Summary: This paper presents a search for photons with energies exceeding 2 x 10(17) eV using hybrid data from the low-energy extensions of the Pierre Auger Observatory. The upper limits on the integral photon flux derived here are the most stringent ones to date in the energy region between 10(17) and 10(18) eV.

Modeling the spectrum and composition of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays with two populations of extragalactic sources

Saikat Das et al.

Summary: This study fits the spectrum and composition data of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays from the Pierre Auger Observatory using two populations of astrophysical sources, with the two-population model showing significant improvement in the fit compared to the one-population model. It also discusses the possibility of detecting cosmogenic neutrinos to shed light on the sources of UHECRs.

The energy spectrum of cosmic rays beyond the turn-down around 1017 eV as measured with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory

P. Abreu et al.

Summary: In this study, a measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum above 100PeV was conducted using data from the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory. An inflection in the spectrum was observed, confirming the presence of the second-knee feature. By combining data from different arrays, the most statistically and systematically precise measurement of spectral breaks was obtained, providing crucial insights into the highest energy cosmic rays.

Energetics of ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray nuclei

Yu Jiang et al.

Summary: In this study, the energetics of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) were analyzed using recent Auger data. The results show a preference for hard spectral indices in the injection of nuclei other than protons and irons, with a smaller energy budget required for intermediate nuclei. Despite uncertainties in hadronic interaction models, the results are considered conservative.

Superheavy scalar dark matter from gravitational particle production in α-attractor models of inflation

Siyang Ling et al.

Summary: We examined gravitational particle production in the context of alpha-attractor inflation, estimating the abundance of particles produced gravitationally based on the mass of the spectator field and the inflation parameter alpha. The potential survival of spin-0 particles in the Universe today as dark matter candidates was suggested, subject to certain conditions such as weak coupling and stability of the spectator field.

Summary: In the next decades, next-generation neutrino telescopes may potentially detect ultra-high-energy neutrinos and indirectly probe the nature of dark matter. Research shows that projected sensitivity of these telescopes to decaying dark matter scenarios can provide competitive constraints on the lifetime of heavy dark matter particles, complementing previous multi-messenger analyses.
