RE: Using the Sun as a probe for dark matter
Both processes are there, of course, but the neutrinos coming from nuclear reactions and dark matter annihilation have different properties. In particular, the energy of the would-be detected neutrinos originating from dark matter is expected to be much higher than the typical energy of the neutrinos issued from nuclear reactions. Detecting such neutrinos would then be a clear sign of something new. We have not seen any up to now.
