We consider the recent limits on dark matter–nucleon elastic scattering cross-section from the analysis of CDMS II collaboration using the two signal events observed in CDMS experiment. With these limits we try to interpret the super-Kamiokande (SK) bounds on the detection rates of up-going muons induced by the neutrinos that are produced in the sun from the decay of annihilation products of dark matter (WIMP's) captured in the solar core. Calculated rates of up-going muons for different annihilation channels at SK using CDMS bounds are found to be orders below the predicted upper limits of such up-going muon rates at SK. Thus there exists room for enhancement (boost) of the calculated rates using CDMS limits for interpreting SK bounds. Such a feature is expected to represent the PAMELA data with the current CDMS limits. We also show the dependence of such a possible enhancement factor (boost) on WIMP mass for different WIMP annihilation channels.

Ultra-high energy neutrinos are an enigma; among their many poorly understood aspects are their origins and how they interact with nucleons when they reach the Earth. Due to the hard scale ([Formula: see text]) involved in neutrino-nucleon scattering and for a large range of neutrino energies, it is appropriate to describe the target nucleon in terms of its partons — quarks and gluons — and their evolution with [Formula: see text] as governed by the Dokshitzer–Gribov–Lipatov–Altarelli–Parisi (DGLAP) evolution equations of perturbative Quantum ChromoDynamics (pQCD). Nevertheless, at the highest neutrino energies, the scattering cross-section is dominated by the contribution of small [Formula: see text] gluons of the target where one expects DGLAP evolution equations to break down due to high gluon density effects (gluon saturation). Here, we give a brief overview of gluon saturation physics in QCD and its effects on ultra-high energy neutrino-nucleon (nucleus) scattering cross-section.

AbstractWe propose a new mechanism for rendering dark matter self-interacting in the presence of a massive spin-2 mediator. The derived Yukawa-type potential for dark matter is independent of the spins of dark matter in the leading order of the momentum expansion, so are the resulting non-perturbative effects for the dark matter self-scattering. We find that both the Born cross section and relatively mild resonance effects assist to make the self-scattering cross section velocity-dependent. We discuss how to evade the current indirect bounds on dark matter annihilations and show that the model is marginally compatible with perturbative unitarity in the ghost-free realization of the massive spin-2 particle.
