Kaluza-Klein Dark Matter, Electrons and Gamma Ray Telescopes
Kaluza-Klein dark matter particles can annihilate efficiently into electron-positron pairs, providing a discrete feature (a sharp edge) in the cosmic ee spectrum at an energy equal to the particle’s mass (typically several hundred GeV to one TeV). Although this feature is probably beyond the reach of satellite or balloon-based cosmic ray experiments (those that distinguish the charge and mass o...
متن کاملGeneric dark matter signature for gamma-ray telescopes
We describe a characteristic signature of dark matter (DM) annihilation or decay into gamma-rays. We show that if the total angular momentum of the initial DM particle(s) vanishes, and helicity suppression operates to prevent annihilation/decay into light fermion pairs, then the amplitude for the dominant 3-body final state ffγ has a unique form dictated by gauge invariance. This amplitude and ...
متن کاملBranon Dark Matter: an Introduction *
This is a brief introduction to branon physics and its role in the dark matter problem. We pay special attention to the phenomenological consequences, both in high-energy particle physics experiments and in astrophysical and cosmological observations.
متن کاملIndirect Dark Matter Detection Using Cherenkov Telescopes
The topic of this report pertains to the detection and analysis of γ-rays emitted from the galactic center (GC) using the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS), a Cherenkov array system. The specific cause of γ-ray production around this region is speculated to be Dark Matter (DM). DM is an extension of the current standard model. The evidence for DM is so plentiful,...
متن کاملThe Detection of Cold Dark Matter with Neutrino Telescopes
High energy neutrinos are produced by the annihilation of dark matter particles in our galaxy. These are presently searched for with large area, deep underground neutrino telescopes. Cold dark matter particles, trapped inside the sun, are an abundant source of such neutrinos. The realization that astronomy and particle physics have independently developed compelling arguments for new physics at...
