Abstract
We present the signatures and prospects for the indirect detection of a Dirac righthanded neutrino dark matter candidate in neutrino telescopes, cosmic positron experiments and gamma-ray telescopes. An example of such a dark matter candidate can be found in extra-dimensional models. In some constructions, Kaluza–Klein states with the gauge quantum numbers of a right-handed neutrino can have sizable gauge interactions with Standard Model particles. For instance, in 5D warped Grand Unified Theories, it has been shown that a Kaluza–Klein right-handed neutrino may be stable and otherwise a phenomenologically viable dark matter candidate. We find that the prospects for the indirect detection of such a WIMP are encouraging, particularly for Despite our ignorance of the nature of dark matter, numerous techniques have been developed in an effort to detect it [1]. Indeed, if the dark matter consists of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), as is suggested by our theoretical prejudices, it will have a tiny but nonvanishing probability of interacting with the ordinary matter of the Standard Model (SM).
