The Galactic positron flux and dark matter substructures
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we calculate the Galactic positron flux from dark matter annihilation in the frame of supersymmetry, taking the enhancement of the flux by existence of dark matter substructures into account. The propagation of positrons in the Galactic magnetic field is solved in a realistic numerical model GALPROP. The secondary positron flux is recalculated in the GLAPROP model. The total positron flux from secondary products and dark matter annihilation can fit the HEAT data well when taking a cuspy density profile of the substrctures. PACS numbers: 95.35.+d

متن کاملEnhancement of the Dark Matter Positron Signal in the Intermediate Mass Black Holes Scenario
A way to search for dark matter is to look for an excess in the cosmic positron spectrum above 1 GeV. In that context, an enhancement of the signal due to dark matter substructures is often introduced and referred to as the boost (or clumpiness) factor. Recent studies show not only that the boost factor does depend on energy, but is a statistical property of the distribution of substructures in...
متن کاملTHE DARK CONNECTION BETWEEN THE EGRET EXCESS OF DIFFUSE GALACTIC GAMMA RAYS, THE CANIS MAJOR DWARF, THE MONOCEROS RING, THE INTEGRAL 511 keV ANNIHILATION LINE, THE GAS FLARING AND THE GALACTIC ROTATION CURVE
The EGRET excess of diffuse Galactic gamma rays shows all the key features of dark matter annihilation (DMA) for a WIMP mass in the range 50-100 GeV, especially the distribution of the excess is compatible with a standard halo profile with some additional ringlike substructures at 4 and 13 kpc from the Galactic centre. These substructures coincide with the gravitational potential well expected ...
متن کاملSynchrotron Radiation from the Galactic Center in Decaying Dark Matter Scenario
We discuss the synchrotron radiation flux from the Galactic center in unstable dark matter scenario. Motivated by the anomalous excess of the positron fraction recently reported by the PAMELA collaboration, we consider the case that the dark matter particle is unstable (and long-lived), and that energetic electron and positron are produced by the decay of dark matter. Then, the emitted e± becom...

Recently INTEGRAL/SPI has observed a strong and extended emission resulting from electron-positron annihilation in the Galactic center region, consistent with the Galactic bulge geometry. The positron production rate, estimated to more than 10 per second, is very high and raises a challenging question about the nature of the Galactic positron source. Commonly considered astrophysical positron i...
