Dark Matter Interpretations of the e± Excesses after FERMI
The cosmic-ray excess observed by PAMELA in the positron fraction and by FERMI and HESS in e− + e can be interpreted in terms of DM annihilations or decays into leptonic final states. Final states into τ ’s or 4μ give the best fit to the excess. However, in the annihilation scenario, they are incompatible with photon and neutrino constraints, unless DM has a quasi-constant density profile. Fina...
متن کاملDark matter interpretation of recent electron and positron data.
We analyze the recently released Fermi-LAT data on the sum of electrons and positrons. Compared to a conventional, pre-Fermi, background model, a surprising excess in the several hundred GeV range is found and here we analyze it in terms of dark matter models. We also compare with newly published results from PAMELA and H.E.S.S., and find models giving very good fits to these data sets as well....
متن کاملConstraining Decaying Dark Matter with Fermi LAT Gamma-rays
High energy electrons and positrons from decaying dark matter can produce a significant flux of gamma rays by inverse Compton off low energy photons in the interstellar radiation field. This possibility is inevitably related with the dark matter interpretation of the observed PAMELA and FERMI excesses. The aim of this paper is providing a simple and universal method to constraint dark matter mo...
متن کاملPerspective of Galactic dark matter subhalo detection on Fermi/GLAST from the EGRET observation
The perspective of detectability of Galactic dark matter subhaloes on the Fermi satellite is investigated in this work. Under the assumptions that dark matter annihilation accounts for the “GeV excess” of the Galactic diffuse γrays discovered by EGRET and the γ-ray flux is dominated by the contribution from subhaloes of dark matter, we calculate the expected number of dark matter subhaloes that...
متن کاملFermi LAT Measurements of the Diffuse Gamma-Ray Emission at Intermediate Galactic Latitudes
The diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission is produced by cosmic rays (CRs) interacting with the interstellar gas and radiation field. Measurements by the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) indicated excess γ-ray emission ≥ 1 GeV relative to diffuse Galactic γ-ray emission models consistent with directly measured CR spectra (the so-c...
