Why it is here

Links the recoil to neutrino mass while using co-annihilation and isospin violation to address relic and IceCube tensions.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors fit endothermic inert-scalar scattering in a radiative-seesaw model, using co-annihilation with nearly degenerate singlet fermions to extend the thermal mass range and a hidden gauge sector to suppress solar capture.
