DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Andrea Marchi (U. Bologna\, DIFA)\n\nBlazars - activ
 e galactic nuclei with relativistic jets pointed towards Earth - are ideal
  laboratories for studying sub-GeV Dark Matter phenomenology. The interact
 ion of their powerful proton jets with the surrounding Dark Matter can giv
 e rise to two distinct signatures: on the one hand\, the Dark Matter will 
 be accelerated to high energies\, making it potentially observable in neut
 rino experiments\; on the other\, the jet's protons will disintegrate in t
 he collision\, producing a flux of high energy neutrinos. These complement
 ary signatures can shed light on the nature of Dark Matter and\, intriguin
 gly\, the resulting neutrino flux can naturally account for the high-energ
 y neutrino detected by IceCube from blazar TXS 0506+056\, an observation t
 hat remains challenging to explain with astrophysical models alone.\n\nhtt
