Distinguishing Between Dark Matter and Pulsar Origins of the ATIC Electron Spectrum With Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
Jeter Hall, Dan Hooper
Recent results from the Advanced Thin Ionization Calorimeter (ATIC) balloon experiment have identified the presence of a spectral feature between approximately 300 and 800 GeV in t…
Panglossian Prospects for Detecting Neutralino Dark Matter in Light of Natural Priors
Benjamin C. Allanach, Dan Hooper
In most global fits of the constrained minimal supersymmetric model (CMSSM) to indirect data, the a priori likelihoods of any two points in tan beta are treated as equal, and the m…
Challenges in Explaining the Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Excess with Millisecond Pulsars
Ilias Cholis, Dan Hooper, Tim Linden
Millisecond pulsars have been discussed as a possible source of the gamma-ray excess observed from the region surrounding the Galactic Center. With this in mind, we use the observe…
Dark Forces At The Tevatron
Matt Buckley, Pavel Fileviez Perez, Dan Hooper +1
A simple explanation of the W+dijet excess recently reported by the CDF collaboration involves the introduction of a new gauge boson with sizable couplings to quarks, but with no o…
The Simplest and Most Predictive Model of Muon and Thermal Dark Matter
Ian Holst, Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic
The long-standing muon anomaly may be the result of a new particle species which could also couple to dark matter and mediate its annihilations in the early unive…
TeV Gamma Rays From Galactic Center Pulsars
Dan Hooper, Ilias Cholis, Tim Linden
Measurements of the nearby pulsars Geminga and B0656+14 by the HAWC and Milagro telescopes have revealed the presence of bright TeV-emitting halos surrounding these objects. If you…
