Secluded WIMP Dark Matter
We consider a generic mechanism via which thermal relic WIMP dark matter may be decoupled from the Standard Model, namely through a combination of WIMP annihilation to metastable mediators with subsequent delayed decay to Standard Model states. We illustrate this with explicit examples of WIMPs connected to the Standard Model by metastable bosons or fermions. In all models, provided the WIMP ma...
متن کاملAstrophysical Signatures of Secluded Dark Matter
We analyze the indirect astrophysical signatures of secluded models of WIMP dark matter, characterized by a weak-scale rate for annihilation into light MeV-scale mediators which are metastable to decay into Standard Model states. Such scenarios allow a significant enhancement of the annihilation cross section in the galactic halo relative to its value at freeze-out, particularly when the mediat...
متن کاملThe Dark Matter Telescope
Weak gravitational lensing enables direct reconstruction of dark matter maps over cosmologically significant volumes. This research is currently telescopelimited. The Dark Matter Telescope (DMT) is a proposed 8.4 m telescope with a 3◦ field of view, with an etendue of 260 m deg, ten times greater than any other current or planned telescope. With its large etendue and dedicated observational mod...
متن کاملIndirect searches for SUSY Dark Matter with the MAGIC Cherenkov Telescope
Neutralinos are the natural well-motivated candidates to provide the non-baryonic dark matter of the universe which may produce detectable signals through their annihilation into neutrinos, photons or positrons. Due to its high flux sensitivity and low energy threshold, the MAGIC Cherenkov telescope could potentially detect the neutralino annihilation high energy photon products. In the framewo...
متن کاملProspects for Cherenkov Telescope Array Observations of the Young Supernova
We perform simulations for future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) observations of RX J1713.7−3946, a young supernova remnant (SNR) and one of the brightest sources ever discovered in very-high-energy (VHE) gamma rays. Special attention is paid to explore possible spatial (anti-)correlations of gamma rays with emission at other wavelengths, in particular X-rays and CO/Hi emission. We present a s...
