[Journal Club] Jupiter as a Dark Matter Collider

Thong T. Q. Nguyen

Based on the research works in 2104.02068 and 2207.13709, I will talk about using Jupiter as a source to give us signals from Dark Matter annihilation. With its large surface area and cool core temperature (compared to the sun), Jupiter is a great target to capture Dark Matter. From there, the captured Dark Matter can annihilate each other and produce some long-lived mediator that can escape the Jovian surface and decays to Indirect Detection signals. Combine with the experimental results from the gamma-ray Fermi Telescope (2104.02068), or the results from Jupiter missions such as the Galileo probe and the Juno orbiter, we can put constraints for Dark Matter - nucleon cross section for both sub-GeV and GeV Dark Matter Simplified Models.
