Neutralino WIMPs

Assume χ present in the galactic halo• χ is its own antiparticle => can annihilate in galactic haloproducing gamma-rays, antiprotons, positrons….• Antimatter not produced in large quantities through standard processes(secondary production through p + p --> anti p + X)• So, any extra contribution from exotic sources (χ χ annihilation) is aninteresting signature• ie: χ χ --> anti p + X• Produced from (e. g.) χ χ --> q / g / gauge boson / Higgs boson andsubsequent decay and/ or hadronisation.

• Power-law diffusion coefficient (normalised to match CR nuclear data)• Continuos source distribution in the Galactic Disk

How Fermi LAT detects electronsTrigger and downlink

• LAT triggers on (almost)every particle that crossesthe LAT– ~ 2.2 kHz trigger rate

• On board processingremoves many chargedparticles events– But keeps events with more

that 20 GeV of depositedenergy in the CAL

– ~ 400 Hz downlink rate• Only ~1 Hz are good γ-rays

Electron identification• The challenge is identifying

the good electrons amongthe proton background– Rejection power of 103 –

104 required– Can not separate electrons

from positrons

• TKR: clean main track with extra-clusters very close to the track

• CAL: clean EM shower profile, notfully contained

• ACD: few hits in conjunction withthe track

• TKR: small number of extraclusters around main track

• CAL: large and asymmetric showerprofile

• ACD: large energy deposit per tile

What if we randomly vary the pulsar parametersrelevant for e+e- production?

(injection spectrum, e+e- production efficiency, PWN “trapping” time)

Under reasonable assumptions, electron/positron emission from pulsarsoffers a viable interpretation of Fermi CRE data which isalso consistent with the HESS and Pamela results.

1. On purely energetic grounds they work (relatively large efficiency)

2. On the basis of the spectrum, it is not clear1. The spectra of PWN show relatively flat spectra of pairs at

Low energies but we do not understand what it is2. The general spectra (acceleration at the termination shock)

are too steep

The biggest problem is that of escape of particles from the pulsar1. Even if acceleration works, pairs have to survive losses2. And in order to escape they have to cross other two shocks

Pulsars

New Fermi data on pulsars will help to constrain the pulsar models

205 Preliminary LAT Bright Sources -

Some Information

• EGRET on the Compton Observatory found fewer than 30 sources above10 σ in its lifetime.

• Typical 95% error radius is less than 10 arcmin. For the brightestsources, it is less than 3 arcmin. Improvements are expected.

• About 1/3 of the sources show definite evidence of variability.

• More than 30 pulsars are identified by gamma-ray pulsations.

• Over half the sources are associated positionally with blazars. Some ofthese are firmly identified as blazars by correlated multiwavelengthvariability.

• Over 40 sources have no obvious associations with known gamma-rayemitting types of astrophysical objects.

➢ dSphs are the most DM dominated systems known in the Universe with very high M/L ratios (M/L ~ 10- 2000).➢ Many of them (at least 6) closer than 100 kpc to the GC (e.g. Draco, Umi, Sagittarius and new SDSS dwarfs).➢ SDSS [only ¼ of the sky covered] already double the number of dSphs these last years➢ Most of them are expected to be free from any other astrophysical gamma source.✔ Low content in gas and dust.

  We expect significant IC gamma-ray emission for highmass WIMP models annihilating to leptonic final states.

The CRE spectrum measured by Fermi-LAT is significantlyharder than previously thought on the basis of previous data

Conclusion:

Adopting the presence of an extra e± primary component with ~2.4 spectral index and Ecut ~ 1 TeV allow to consistently interpretFermi-LAT CRE data (improving the fit ), HESS and PAMELA

Such extra-component can be originated by pulsars for areasonable choice of relevant parameters

•Improved analysis and complementary observations•(CRE anisotropy, spectrum and angular distribution of diffuse γ,DM sources search in γ) are required to possibly discriminate theright scenario.

•or by annihilating dark matter for model with MDM ≈ 1 TeV

In September 2009 Fermi data will be open to the communityYou are all invited to join !
