Search for a dark matter particle in high energy cosmic rays

TL;DR

This paper proposes searching for dark matter particles in high energy cosmic rays, particularly in the PeV mass range, to potentially explain anomalies like the GZK cutoff violation.

Contribution

It suggests a novel search strategy in the PeV range for dark matter particles using cosmic ray data, aiming to address existing observational anomalies.

Findings

High energy cosmic rays are promising for dark matter detection.

Searching in the PeV range could explain GZK cutoff violations.

Potential discovery of dark matter particles in cosmic rays.

Abstract

Existing data hints that high energy cosmic ray experiments may offer the most promissing shot at finding a dark matter particle. A search in the PeV mass range is suggested, where the discovery of such a particle might help explain the GZK cutoff violation data.
