17. However, large tension exists with XENON-10 and CDMS data... DAMA signal therefore cannot be dark matter?

19. Non Extensive Statistics At any given time, probability of a particular delay time, t, given by Over course of a year,  varies quite a lot due to seasonal factors. Therefore, over the long term, one needs to include fluctuations in 

20. Non Extensive Statistics if  is sum over Gaussian random variables... leads to a   distribution... which yields

37. Can be interpreted as Dark matter Cut-off corresponding to 620 GeV KK particle However, need large boost factors, B = ( 10, 10 2, 10 3 ) for m DM = ( 100 GeV, 1 TeV, 10 TeV) respectively

50. high energy electron/positron flux > 10 GeV still anomalously large Can fit FERMI by assuming local increase in SNR, but not PAMELA Grasso et al. 0905.0636

51. FERMI and PAMELA can be simultaneously fitted with local pulsars Grasso et al. 0905.0636

52. Where are we now with dark matter interpretations? Spectral shape well fitted by dark matter annihilating into muons required self annihilation cross section ~ 1000 times larger than expected need to avoid annihilations into hadrons (no anomalous antiproton signal) No feature at 600-900 GeV a la ATIC

53. If you accept these prerequisites, Fermi, HESS and PAMELA data can be fit by dark matter also...

55. Sommerfeld Enhancement S-channel annihilations P-channel annihilations Need something else to enhance the cross section. If Then dark matter particles are pulled together by exchange of W,Z bosons, enhancing annihilation by

56. Sommerfeld Enhancement ATIC data suggested DM particle of 500-800 GeV, W, Z no good. Instead, consider much lighter GeV boson, weakly coupled (Arkani-Hamed & Weiner 0810.0713) Also DM annihilates through boson – muon final states! However, since cross section goes like 1/v, forms problems for first structures formed (Kamionkowski and Profumo)

60. Conclusions DAMA/LIBRA data shows annual modulation Interpretation of that as dark matter contradicts with XENON/CDMS Can reconcile the two with non-standard density profiles Both PAMELA and FERMI show new population of electrons Dark matter is possible explanation Requires large boost factor and leptophilic decays Can also be explained by astrophysics Difficult confused future for this discovery channel for ordinary WIMPs PART 1 PART 2
