Signatures of Dark Matter Annihilation in the Light of Pamela/atic Anomaly
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent measurements of cosmic-ray electron and positron fluxes by PAMELA and ATIC experiments may indicate the existence of annihilating dark matter with large annihilation cross section. We discuss its possible relation to other astrophysical/cosmological observations : gamma-rays, neutrinos, and big-bang nucleosynthesis. It is shown that they give stringent constraints on some annihilating dark matter models.

Dark Matter Signals from Cascade Annihilations
A leading interpretation of the electron/positron excesses seen by PAMELA and ATIC is dark matter annihilation in the galactic halo. Depending on the annihilation channel, the electron/positron signal could be accompanied by a galactic gamma ray or neutrino flux, and the non-detection of such fluxes constrains the couplings and halo properties of dark matter. In this paper, we study the interpl...
متن کاملStatus of indirect searches in the PAMELA and Fermi era
The detection of γ-rays, antiprotons and positrons due to pair annihilation of dark matter particles in the Milky Way halo is a viable indirect technique to search for signatures of supersymmetric dark matter where the major challenge is the discrimination of the signal from the background generated by standard production mechanisms. The new PAMELA antiproton data are consistent with the standa...
متن کاملPAMELA/ATIC Anomaly from Exotic Mediated Dark Matter Decay
We discuss dark matter decay mediated by exotically charged particles (“exotics”) in a supersymmetric model with two dark matter (DM) components: One is the (bino-like) lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) χ, and the other is a newly introduced meta-stable neutral singlet N . N decays to χe+e− via a dimension 6 operator induced by a penguintype one loop diagram with the life time of 1026 sec....
متن کاملSecondary Radiation from the Pamela/atic Excess and Relevance for Fermi
The excess of electrons/positrons observed by the Pamela and ATIC experiments gives rise to a noticeable amount of synchrotron and Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) radiation when the ee interact with the Galactic Magnetic Field, and the InterStellar Radiation Field (ISRF). In particular, the ICS signal produced within the WIMP annihilation interpretation of the Pamela/ATIC excess shows already ...
متن کاملA Brief Review on Dark Matter Annihilation Explanation for e± Excesses in Cosmic Ray
Recently data from PAMELA, ATIC, FERMI-LAT and HESS show that there are e excesses in the cosmic ray energy spectrum. PAMELA observed excesses only in e, but not in anti-proton spectrum. ATIC, FERMI-LAT and HESS observed excesses in e + e spectrum, but the detailed shapes are different which requires future experimental observations to pin down the correct data set. Nevertheless a lot of effort...
