Description

We consider scenarios where the dark matter becomes unstable due to a non-minimal coupling to gravity. We show that the dark matter can decay into Standard Model particles with a lifetime which is potentially accessible to gamma-ray or neutrino telescopes. We determine the decay branching fractions in some simple scenarios and we set limits on the size of the dark matter non-minimal coupling parameter from observations.
