Analysis identifies a potential link between ultrahigh-energy neutrinos and dark matter, suggesting gravitational waves may reveal new physics.
Within the general <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mi>U</a:mi><a:mo stretchy="false">(</a:mo><a:mn>1</a:mn><a:mo stretchy="false">)</a:mo></a:math> scenario, we demonstrate that the ultrahigh-energy neutrinos recently detected by KM3NeT could originate from a decaying right-handed neutrino dark matter, with a mass of 440 PeV. Considering dark matter production via freeze-in, we delineate the parameter space that satisfies the observed relic abundance and also lies within the reach of multiple gravitational wave detectors. Our study provides a testable new physics scenario, enabled by multimessenger astronomy.
