Why it is here

Provides a concrete loophole showing that Higgsino solar-capture bounds need not apply to all inelastic models.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors fit an endothermic scalar benchmark to the event and show that a light mediator, isospin interference in solar capture, and a nonthermal captured population can evade the usual IceCube constraint.
