If dark matter can decay into particles described by the standard model, such as neutrinos, these objects would become potential astrophysical sources of emission which could be detected by in- struments such as IceCube. In this paper, we investigate neutrino signals from nearby UCMHs due to gravitino dark matter decay and compare these signals with the back- ground neutrino flux which is mainly from the atmosphere to obtain constraints on the abundance of UCMHs.展开更多
