Constraints on light WIMP candidates from the isotropic diffuse gamma-ray emission

Journal Article Arina, Chiara ; Tytgat, Michel H.G., E-mail: carina@ulb.ac.be, E-mail: mtytgat@ulb.ac.be - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Motivated by the measurements reported by direct detection experiments, most notably DAMA, CDMS-II, CoGeNT and Xenon10/100, we study further the constraints that might be set on some light dark matter candidates, M{sub DM} ∼ few GeV, using the Fermi-LAT data on the isotropic gamma-ray diffuse emission. In particular, we consider a Dirac fermion singlet interacting through a new Z' gauge boson, and a scalar singlet S interacting through the Higgs portal. Both candidates are WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), i.e. they have an annihilation cross-section in the pbarn range. Also they may both have a spin-independent elastic cross section onmore »« less

Constraint on dark matter annihilation with dark star formation using Fermi extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray background data

Journal Article Yuan, Qiang ; Yue, Bin ; Chen, Xuelei ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

It has been proposed that during the formation of the first generation stars there might be a ''dark star'' phase in which the power of the star comes from dark matter annihilation. The adiabatic contraction process to form the dark star would result in a highly concentrated density profile of the host halo at the same time, which may give enhanced indirect detection signals of dark matter. In this work we investigate the extragalactic γ-ray background from dark matter annihilation with such a dark star formation scenario, and employ the isotropic γ-ray data from Fermi-LAT to constrain the model parametersmore »« less

Extended Source Gamma-Ray Emission from WIMP Annihilation in the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy (SULI paper)

Technical Report Vasu-Devan, Vidya ; /Columbia U. /SLAC

The proximity of the dark matter dominated Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy (position (l,b) = 5.6{sup o}, -14{sup o}) allows it to act as an ideal laboratory for the exploration of extended gamma-ray emission from Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) annihilation processes in a dark matter-dominated system. Since the matter in our universe is predominantly dark, exploring such processes as WIMP annihilation will lead to a better understanding of cosmology. In order to study this gamma-ray emission, a model for the diffuse background gamma-radiation in the dwarf galaxy's region is extracted from the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) data.

Search for very high energy gamma rays from WIMP annihilations near the Sun with the Milagro detector

Journal Article Atkins, R ; Gonzalez, M ; McEnery, J E ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The neutralino, the lightest stable supersymmetric particle, is a strong theoretical candidate for the missing astronomical 'dark matter'. A profusion of such neutralinos can accumulate near the Sun when they lose energy upon scattering and are gravitationally captured. Pair-annihilations of those neutralinos may produce very high-energy (VHE, above 100 GeV) gamma rays. Milagro is an air shower array which uses the water Cherenkov technique to detect extensive-air showers and is capable of observing VHE gamma rays from the direction of the Sun with an angular resolution of 0.75 deg. . Analysis of Milagro data with an exposure to the Sunmore »« less
