MARCH 11YPM 2015 Study of Galactic cosmic rays and -ray is very active field Several experiments : PAMELA AMS : mounted on International Space Station Large Area Telescope (LAT): Fermi mounted on Gamma Ray Space Telscope (Fermi) Most detailed map of -ray sky eve r Complementary experiments : Microwave : WMAP, Planck Low Energy: INTEGRAL Higher energy - ray : MAGIC,HESS, VERITAS Neutrinos : IceCube

MARCH 11YPM 2015 Q. What does Fermi-LAT see ? Galactic Emission Extra-Galactic (High Altitude) “isotropic” emission

MARCH 11YPM 2015 Galactic Diffuse Emission All the previous analysis has large systematic uncertainties of background emission : GDE Sources : 1)Boosted decay CR scatter inelastically w/ intersteller gas & produce neutral mesons which decays to pairs. 2)Bremsstrahlung CR electrons scatter w/ intersteller gas 3)Inverse Compton Scattering CR electrons up-scatter low-energy photons via ICS into the gamma-ray energy regime trace the gas distribution - different in morphology from DM Can potentially mimic DM signal Depends on : A) CR source distribution and Galactic gas distribution B) Intersteller Radiation Field (ISRF) properties C) Galactic magnetic field magnitude, profile etc... Different assumption on these parameter leads to different GDE models.

MARCH 11YPM 2015 Calore, Cholis, Weniger (CCW) - 1409.0042 # First study of model systematics coming from the Galactic diffuse emission in the inner part of our Galaxy and their impact on the inferred properties of the excess emission. What they have done : ~ ROI : 20 0 X 20 0 square. Mask inner 2 0 along Galactic plane. ~ Photon Energy Range : 300 MeV – 500 GeV ~ Studied 60 GDE models to estimate uncertainties due to assumptions. ~ Full ROI has been broken into TEN sections to analyze Fermi-LAT data.

MARCH 11YPM 2015 Calore, Cholis, Weniger (CCW) - 1409.0042 Conclusion : -- Robust confirmation of a spherically symmetric excess. -- Centered within 0.05% of GC, hence GCE. -- Spectrum peaks at 1-3 GeV and extends to 10 0 -- DM interpretation : hadronic states better than leptonic final states. -- bb with m 45-53 GeV. v ~ 1.78x10 -26 cm 3 s -1 -- MSP ? Not likely

MARCH 11YPM 2015 What about Fermi collaboration's analysis ? http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/mtgs/symposia/2014/program/08_Murgia.pd f Gamma rays in the energy range 1 GeV - 100 GeV ROI = 15 o x15 o square, no masking ( biggest difference from CCW) Examine 4 background interstellar emission models A) Baseline models: Pulsar or OB star cosmic ray source distributions B) Tune intensity and spectral index C) Tune to gamma-rays observed outside ROI D) Determine point sources consistently within these models Excess signal depends strongly on the background model! Preliminary

MARCH 11YPM 2015 GCE is confirmed Astrophysical explanations are less likely DM Interpretation : hadronic final stated better A particle physics motivated DM model to explain the excess Till now Next TM and Tanushree Basak, ArXiv:1405.4877

MARCH 11YPM 2015 Summary Fermi-LAT sees anomalous gamma rays (1-3 GeV energy range) coming from the inner galaxy Spectrum and morphology prefers annihilating DM to explain the excess Signal appears to be much harder than previously thought (confirms by Fermi preliminary analysis) DM annihilating to bb should have mass ~ 50 GeV U(1) B-L model can explain the excess Breit-Wigner enhancement is necessary to boost the annihilation cross-section today near GC.
