摘要
The recent results of IceCube Neutrino Observatory include an excess of PeV neutrino events which appear to follow a broken power-law different from the other lower energy neutrinos detected by IceCube. The possible astrophysical source of these neutrinos is still unknown. One possible source of such neutrinos could be the decay of nonthermal, long-lived heavy mass dark matter, whose mass should be > 10(6) GeV and could have produced at the very early Universe. They can undergo cascading decay via both hadronic and leptonic channels to finally produce such high energy neutrinos. This possibility has been explored in this work by studying the decay flux of these dark matter candidates. The mass and lifetime of such dark matter particles have been obtained by performing a chi(2) fit with the PeV neutrino data of IceCube. We finally estimate the baryon asymmetry produced in the Universe due to such dark matter decay.
