Abstract
The recent observation of the blazar TXS 0506+056 suggests the presence of a hard power-law component in the extraterrestrial TeV-PeV neutrino flux, in agreement with the IceCube analysis on the 8-year through-going muon neutrinos from the Northern Sky. This is slightly in tension with the soft power-law neutrino flux deduced by the IceCube 6-year High Energy Starting Events data. A possible solution to such a puzzle is assuming a two-component neutrino flux. In this paper, we focus on the case where, in addition to an astrophysical power-law, the second component is a pure neutrino line produced by decaying Dark Matter particles. We investigate how to realize a neutrinophilic decaying Dark Matter in an extension of the Standard Model. The main features of the model are: i) the requirement of a new symmetry like a global U(1) charge; ii) the Dirac nature of active neutrinos; iii) a low-reheating temperature of the Universe of about 1 TeV . We perform a likelihood statistical analysis to fit the IceCube data according to the present Fermi-LAT gamma-rays constraints.
