The attractive interaction between neutrinos is mediated by a scalar boson which is lighter than a neutrino. We consider the appearance of neutrino bound states consisting of particles with oppositely directed spins. The gap equation for such a system is derived. Based on numerical simulations of the neutrino distribution in a cluster, we find the phase transition temperature and the coherence length inside such a cluster for various parameters of the system. The constraints on the parameters of the Yukawa interaction, resulting in the neutrino superfluidity, are derived. We obtain that the cosmic neutrino background can contribute to the superfluid condensate inside a neutrino cluster having realistic characteristics.

The focus of this work is to consider DM masses below 10 GeV. A viable secluded region is found in the parameter space after imposing the observed relic density. There is a one-loop interaction between scalar DM and the atomic electron in this model. We then apply the available direct detection bounds from Xenon10, Xenon1T and DarkSide on the DM-electron elastic scattering cross section.
