Description

The search for boosted dark matter, which often arises in two-component dark matter scenarios, has received rising attention as an alternative dark matter search strategy. I will discuss phenomenology of boosted dark matter at neutrino detectors including Super/Hyper Kamiokande, focusing on the case where such boosted dark matter scatters off target material inelastically to a heavier unstable dark-sector state which further decays into visible particles in addition to visible target recoil.
