Search for a dark matter particle family
I suggest a simple signature for new particles which are unstable partners of a dark matter particle. The suggested mass range is from 8 TeV to 3 PeV, the former being the mass of the dark matter particle and the latter being the knee energy mass scale from the cosmic ray energy spectrum. It can be the energy spectrum of a specific particle such as a muon, a neutrino, jets or any other particles produced in cosmic ray showers, as long as the spectrum is measued. As for the detection of a 3 PeV particle by the neutrino energy spectrum, all dark matter targets throughout the galaxy that are bombarded by high energy cosmic rays and high energy dark matter particles contribute to the process. This is new in the study of dark matter physics.
