“…By selecting neutrinos arriving from the direction of the sun, large reduction in backgrounds can be achieved. This directional resolution for sub-GeV neutrinos will enable DUNE to be competitive with experiments with even larger fiducial masses, but less precise angular information, such as Hyper-K [304]. [287].…”

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE’s sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach.

“…If q is a light quark, then hadronization of the final state will produce a number of light hadrons which stop in the Sun before decaying, yielding a soft neutrino spectrum which is difficult to detect. Searches for this soft neutrino signal at large exposure neutrino detectors can yield a sensitivity to SD scattering comparable to that of direct detection experiments [51][52][53][54], but only for dark matter with m χ 10 GeV, and this region of parameter space is already ruled out for this scenario.…”

We study a scenario in which the only light new particles are a Majorana fermion dark matter candidate and one or more QCD-charged scalars, which couple to light quarks. This scenario has several interesting phenomenological features if the new particles are nearly degenerate in mass. In particular, LHC searches for the light scalars have reduced sensitivity, since the visible and invisible products tend to be softer. Moreover, dark matter-scalar co-annihilation can allow even relatively heavy dark matter candidates to be consistent thermal relics. Finally, the dark matter nucleon scattering cross section is enhanced in the quasi-degenerate limit, allowing direct detection experiments to use both spin-independent and spin-dependent scattering to probe regions of parameter space beyond those probed by the LHC. Although this scenario has broad application, we phrase this study in terms of the MSSM, in the limit where the only light sparticles are a binolike dark matter candidate and light-flavored squarks. arXiv:1707.02460v2 [hep-ph] 1 Dec 2017 * L,R ) QA µ −
