Indirect dark matter searches with neutrino telescopes via energetic cosmic showers
We explore the possibility that the high energy neutrino flux observed by terrestrial telescopes originates from dark matter (DM) annihilation. Specifically, we study a minimal, UV-complete U(1) extension of the Standard Model with a Dirac DM candidate, whose annihilation into neutrinos proceeds exclusively through a Z′ boson. By computing the annihilation cross section and comparing with the observed flux, we derive bounds on the model parameters. Additional constraints are obtained within the freeze-in framework, where the observed relic abundance is reproduced. Considering cosmic string vibrations as a source of gravitational waves, we further constrain the vacuum expectation value of the U(1) breaking. All results are contrasted with perturbativity limits and existing constraints from low- and high-energy experiments.
