متن کاملDetection and measurement of gamma rays with the AMS-02 detector
The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) will be installed on the International Space Station (ISS). The gamma rays can be measured through gamma conversion into ee pair, before reaching the Silicon Tracker or by measurement of a photon hitting directly the Electromagnetic Calorimeter (ECAL). AMS-02 will provide precise gamma measurements in the GeV energy range, which is particularly relevant ...
متن کاملGamma Ray Astronomy and Baryonic Dark Matter
Recently, Dixon et al. (1998) have re-analyzed the EGRET data, finding a statistically significant diffuse γ-ray emission from the galactic halo. We show that this emission can naturally be explained within a previously-proposed model for baryonic dark matter, in which γ-rays are produced through the interaction of high-energy cosmic-ray protons with cold H2 clouds clumped into dark clusters th...
متن کاملDetecting Gamma-Ray Anisotropies from Decaying Dark Matter: Prospects for Fermi LAT
Decaying dark matter particles could be indirectly detected as an excess over a simple power law in the energy spectrum of the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background. Furthermore, since the Earth is not located at the center of the Galactic dark matter halo, the exotic contribution from dark matter decay to the diffuse gamma-ray flux is expected to be anisotropic, offering a complementary m...
متن کاملIndirect Evidence for WIMP Annihilation from Diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays
The EGRET excess in the diffuse galactic gamma ray data above 1 GeV shows all the features expected from Dark Matter WIMP Annihilation: a)it is present and has the same spectrum in all sky directions, not just in the galactic plane. b) The intensity of the excess shows the 1/r profile expected for a flat rotation curve outside the galactic disc with additionally an interesting substructure in t...
