Dan Hooper (Fermilab)12/06/2014, 16:30Past studies have identified a spatially extended excess of ~1-3 GeV gamma rays from the region surrounding the Galactic Center, consistent with the emission expected from annihilating dark matter. Recent improvements in the analysis techniques have found this excess to be robust and highly statistically significant, with a spectrum, angular distribution, and overall normalization that is in...Go to contribution page

Neelima Sehgal (Stony Brook University)12/06/2014, 17:00The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a remarkably powerful and clean probe of dark matter annihilation. I will review the constraints from existing CMB and low-redshift data, and discuss future prospects from current and upcoming CMB experiments such as Planck and Advanced ACTpol. Many simple models designed to explain various indirect detection anomalies can be decisively tested with...Go to contribution page
