3 Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) The weak interaction mass scale and ordinary gauge couplings give right relic DM density without fine-tuning. Mass scale O(GeV)-O(TeV), makes them Cold Dark Matter Will not talk about axions 1, WISPs (sub-eV), sterile neutrinos (keV) Jungman+, Phys. Rept. (1996)

9 Targets - comments Galactic Centre Dwarf galaxies and Galaxy Clusters Galactic Halo Extra Galactic Lines Strongest signal expected, most difficult background Hard sources, not well understood diffuse emission Dwarfs: weak signal, but relatively well controlled Dark Matter Distribution and essentially no background (if at high latitude). Clusters: DM density not well constrained, but provides boost factor (extended emission), so good for discovery (if lucky) Fermi-LAT: spatial and spectral discrimination, good statititstics, extreme freedom in galactic diffuse emission. IACT: best potential, small systematics due to diffuse emission, ~100 hour observation time (GC halo) Very model dependent, good as target for spatial analysis. Smoking gun*, got to get lucky.
10
10 Dwarfs galaxies – cleanest target DM dominated (M/L ~10--1000). Nearby (~ 100 kpc) Low background but relatively small signal Stellar velocities can be used to measure DM density (error can be propagated to particle constraints) e.g: Charbonnier+, MNRAS 418 (2011) 1526 Strigari+,Phys. Rev. D, 75, 083526 Evans+, Phys. Rev., D69, 123501, (2004)

13 The Fermi-LAT dwarf analysis (maximum likelihood) Two new methodological approaches: Combining single source likelihoods less sensitive to individual source fluctuations, improved constraints, but analysis can be optimized individually 1) Including uncertainties in DM density Applied to a the combination over-all result is much less affected by the DM density uncertainties (impact reduced by factor 10).

24 Questions to be answered before booking the trip to Stockholm Is it instrumental, a fluke or physics? – What is the (sufficiently strong) line signal in the Fermi-LAT Earth Limb emission (ZENITH>60, 0 < THETA< 60), at the same energy? – Can a GC hard source in connection with point spread function modelling cause this effect? If it is physics, is it dark matter? – Why do Su+Finkbeiner find an offset? – Can it be a non-line spectral feature? – Can other physical processes except DM produce the feature? Aharonian+, arXiv:1207.0458 Profumo+, arXiv: 1204.6047 Future interesting high resolution instruments: GAMMA-400 (2018), DAMPE (China) (2015), large area instrument HESS II, (see Weniger’s talk later today).

25 Final remarks and summary Most robust gamma-ray searches ….. – Dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Fermi-LAT – Galactic Center halo (H.E.S.S.). Gamma-ray searches have constrained the benchmark cross- section of ~10 -26 cm -3 s, for WIMPs < 30 GeV, with a robust and clean method. … at the same time yielding ”indications” worth to explore experimentally (not quite theoretically yet) …. Orthogonality to direct/neutrinos and LHC in the most commonly studied theoretical scenarios (Supersymmetry). – acc: LHC results, direct: Xenon 1t, IceCube results..
26
26 Future In 2019: CTA/Fermi-LAT constrain thermal WIMP x-sec from 10 GeV – 10 TeV. Endgame for the WIMP? … unless of course we get lucky … – nature picks a model with large line cross-section Galactic Centre New players: Gamma-400 (2018), DAMPE (2015), HESSII ? – nature introduces large enough substructure boost in clusters of galaxies Galactic clusters

30 Apropos LHC … what about the Higgs? no general statements possible.... well, what is it? (spin 0, couplings to other particles ~ mass), consistent with SM Higgs or not? – Large gamma-gamma decay rate might indicate a contribution from BSM particles Implication studied in certain contexts of SUSY: – mSUGRA: implies rather small direct detection x-sec detectable by Xenon-1t If line indication correct: annihilation with Higgs Dirac Dark Matter Buckley+, arXiv:1207.1445 Akula+, arXiv:1207.1839
