SEARCHING FOR keV STERILE NEUTRINO DARK MATTER WITH X-RAY MICROCALORIMETER SOUNDING ROCKETS

High-resolution X-ray spectrometers onboard suborbital sounding rockets can search for dark matter candidates that produce X-ray lines, such as decaying keV-scale sterile neutrinos. Even with exposure times and effective areas far smaller than XMM-Newton and Chandra observations, high-resolution, wi...
