Status of indirect dark matter detection
Indirect astrophysical channels (such as gamma rays, neutrinos, and cosmic ray antimatter) are a cornerstone in the dark matter particle identification program. A review of the present constraints is presented, together with some perspectives for the near future: we argue that the approach of “fitting any spectral feature to a dark matter model” is unlikely to lead to a convincing indirect dete...
متن کاملStatus and perspectives of indirect and direct dark matter searches
In this review article the current status of particle dark matter is addressed. We discuss the main theoretical extensions of the standard model which allow to explain dark matter in terms of a (yet undiscovered) elementary particle. We then discuss the theoretical predictions for the searches of particle dark matter: direct detection in low background underground experiments and indirect detec...
متن کاملDirect and Indirect Detection of Wimps
We present here the principles of detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles , which could represent a large contribution to Dark Matter. A status of the experimental situation is given both for indirect and direct detection. In particular , the DAMA claim for a WIMP signal is confronted to the recent results of the CDMS and EDELWEISS experiments. We conclude by comparing direct and indi...
متن کاملConstraints on Dark Matter with Gamma-Ray Experiments and Future Observational Strategies
Indirect dark matter (DM) searches rely on detection of stable by-products of DM interactions to search for a signal of this elusive component of the Universe. Among these final products, gamma rays have recently played a major role in understanding the nature of the DM particle. We review the current status of indirect DM searches with gamma-ray observations and prospects with future instruments.
متن کاملIndirect Dark Matter Search with Large Neutrino Telescopes
Dark matter is one of the main goals of neutrino astronomy. At present, there are two big neutrino telescopes based on the Cherenkov technique in ice and water: IceCube at the South Pole and ANTARES in the northern hemisphere. Both telescopes are performing an indirect search for Dark Matter by looking for a statistical excess of neutrinos coming from astrophysical massive objects. This excess ...
