Conclusion sofar IF DM particles are thermal relics from early universe they can annihilate with cross section as large as < v>=2. 10 -26 cm 3/s which implies an enormous rate of gamma rays from π0 decays (produced in quark fragmentation) (Galaxy=1040 higher rate than any accelerator) Expect large fraction of energetic Galactic gamma rays to come from DMA in this case. Remaining ones from p. CR+p. GAS-> π0+X , π0 ->2γ (+some IC+brems) This means: Galactic gamma rays have 2 components with a shape KNOWN from the 2 BEST studied reactions in accelerators: background known from fixed target exp.

Do antiproton data exclude interpretation of EGRET data? Bergstrom et al. astro-ph/0603632, Abstract: we investigate the viability of the model using the Dark. SUSY package to compute the gamma-ray and antiproton fluxes. We are able to show that their (=Wd. B et al) model is excluded by a wide margin from the measured flux of antiprotons. Problem with Dark. SUSY (DS): 1) Flux of antiprotons/gamma in Dark. SUSY: O(1) from DMA. 2) However, O(10 -2) from LEP data 3) Reason: DS has diffusion box with isotropic diffusion -> 4) DMA fills up box with high density of antiprotons 5) 2) Priors of DARKSUSY. (and other propagation models as well): 6) a) static galactic magnetic fields are negligible 7) b) gas is smoothly distributed 8) c) propagation in halo and disk are the same 9) ALL priors likely wrong and can change predictions for DM seaches 10)by ORDER OF MAGNITUDE (and still ok with all observations!) Wim de Boer, Karlsruhe Seminar Beijing, August 15, 2007 30
Another propagation model including static magnetic fields and gas clouds and anisotropic diffusion it is shown that Galactic cosmic rays can be effectively confined through magnetic reflection by molecular clouds, Integral excess of positrons in bulge because positrons are trapped in magnetic mirrors between gas clouds?

Indirect DM detection from solar neutrinos Celestial bodies collect DM in their cores by their high density. Annihilation can result in flux of HIGH energy neutrinos from sun (from b-decays or from Z-decays). EGRET SUN Neutrinos can be detected by large detectors, like Super-Kamiokande, Amanda, Ice-Cube, Baksan by the charged current interactions with nuclei, which yields muons in the detectors.

8 physics questions answered SIMULTANEOUSLY if WIMP = thermal relic • Astrophysicists: What is the origin of “Ge. V excess” of diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays? A: DM annihilation • Astronomers: Why a change of slope in the galactic rotation curve at R 0 ≈ 11 kpc? A: DM substructure Why ring of stars at 13 kpc? Why ring of molecular hydrogen at 4 kpc? Why S-shape in gas flaring? • Cosmologists: How is DM annihilating? A: into quark pairs How is Cold Dark Matter distributed? A: standard profile + substructure • Particle physicists: Is DM annihilating as expected in Supersymmetry? A: Cross sections perfectly consistent with m. SUGRA for light gauginos, heavy squarks/sleptons Wim de Boer, Karlsruhe Seminar Beijing, August 15, 2007 45
Summary >>10σ EGRET excess shows intriguing hint that: WIMP is thermal relic with expected annihilation into quark pairs DM becomes visible by gamma rays from fragmentation (30 -40 gamma rays of few Ge. V pro annihilation from π0 decays) Results rather model independent, since only KNOWN spectral shapes of signal and background used, NO model dependent calculations of abs. fluxes. Different shapes or unknown experimental problems may change the gamma ray flux and/or WIMP mass, BUT NOT the distribution in the sky. SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION of annihilation signal is signature for DMA which clearly shows that EGRET excess is tracer of DM by fact that one can construct rotation curve and tidal streams from gamma rays. DM interpretation strongly supported independently by gas flaring DM interpretation perfectly consistent with Supersymmetry Wim de Boer, Karlsruhe Seminar Beijing, August 15, 2007 46
Summary on WIMP searches Indirect detection: (SPACE EXPERIMENTS) intriguing hint for signals from DMA for 60 Ge. V WIMP from gamma rays Direct detection: (UNDERGROUND OBSERVATORIES) expected to observe signal in near future IF we are not in VOID of clumpy DM halo Direct production: (ACCELERATORS (LHC 2008 -2018)): cannot produce WIMPs directly (too small cross section), BUT IF WIMPs are Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP) THEN WIMPs observable in DECAY of SUSY particles IF EVERY METHOD measures SAME WIMP mass, then PERFECT. In this case Dark Matter is the supersymmetric partner of the CMB! Wim de Boer, Karlsruhe Seminar Beijing, August 15, 2007 47
