Neutrino Spectroscopy Can Probe the Dark Matter Content in the Sun

After being gravitationally captured, low-mass cold dark-matter particles (mass range from 5 to ~50 × 109 electron volts) are thought to drift to the center of the Sun and affect its internal structure. Solar neutrinos provide a way to probe the physical processes occurring in the Sun’s core. Solar...
