Description
The antideuteron channel is currently one of the most promising channels for indirect detection of dark matter.
The coalescence model of antideuteron production is strongly dependent on two-particle correlations in each DM annihilation or decay event,
and the hadronization scheme chosen when generating Monte Carlo events could therefore have a profound effect on the predicted antideuteron spectra.
We investigate the antideuteron yield in dark matter annihilations and decays on an event-by-event basis using the HERWIG++ Monte Carlo generator, comparing to earlier results based on PYTHIA, thereby estimating the uncertainties involved.
