MAGIC and the Search for Signatures of Supersymmetric Dark Matter
The 17m Imaging Air shower Cherenkov Telescope MAGIC (Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Canary Islands) has recently entered its commissioning phase. One of the main goals of the MAGIC telescope project is to provide an unprecedented sensitivity for the detection of gamma rays with energies as low as 30 GeV. A dedicated search for the gamma rays expected to be produced by WIMP annih...

متن کاملIndirect Dark Matter Searches with the MAGIC Telescopes
MAGIC is a ground-based system of two, 17 m diameter Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes located in the Canary island of La Palma. MAGIC-I has been operational since 2004 and it already achieved the lowest energy threshold among the current generation of Cherenkov Telescopes. In 2009 it was joined by MAGIC-II, and together, in the stereoscopic mode, they allow for observations of substanti...
متن کاملPlanned Dark Matter Searches with the Magic Telescope
The MAGIC 17m-diameter Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) has been commissioned beginning of 2005. The telescope has been designed to achieve the lower detection energy threshold ever obtained with an IACT, about 50 GeV. A new window in γ-ray astronomy is being opened with great impact for exciting new physics and new discoveries. Among the targets of MAGIC is the indirect detection of Dark...
متن کاملDark Matter Signals from Draco and Willman 1: Prospects for MAGIC II and CTA
The next generation of ground-based Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes will play an important role in indirect dark matter searches. In this article, we consider two particularly promising candidate sources for dark matter annihilation signals, the nearby dwarf galaxies Draco and Willman 1, and study the prospects of detecting such a signal for the soon-operating MAGIC II telescope system as well...
