Description
Scalar (fermion) dark matter with mass in the MeV range
coupled to ordinary neutrinos and another fermion (scalar) is
motivated by scenarios that establish a link between
radiatively generated neutrino masses and the dark matter
relic density. With such a coupling, cosmic supernova
neutrinos can resonantly interact with the background dark
matter particles on their way to us, giving rise to a dip in
their redshift-integrated spectra. Current and future neutrino
detectors, such as Super-Kamiokande, LENA and Hyper-
Kamiokande, might be able to detect this distortion.
