Gamma ray signals from dark matter: Concepts, status and prospects
Open accessAbstract
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) remain a prime candidate for the cosmological dark matter (DM), even in the absence of current collider signals that would unambiguously point to new physics below the TeV scale. The self-annihilation of these particles in astronomical targets may leave observable imprints in cosmic rays of various kinds. In this review, we focus on gamma rays which we argue to play a pronounced role among the various possible messengers. We discuss the most promising spectral and spatial signatures to look for, give an update on the current state of gamma-ray searches for DM and an outlook concerning future prospects. We also assess in some detail the implications of a potential signal identification for particle DM models as well as for our understanding of structure formation. Special emphasis is put on the possible evidence for a 130 GeV line-like signal that we recently identified in the data of the Fermi gamma-ray space telescope.

“The commonly used Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile [74], for example, is obtained for (α, β, γ) = (1, 3, 1) (with rs ≃ 20 kpc in case of the Milky Way); the cored isothermal profile follows when setting (α, β, γ) = (2, 2, 0) and rs ≃ 3.”

“In particular, the cooling and infall of baryons could – by a mechanism known as adiabatic contraction – lead to a steepening of the inner DM profile [84–86].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
