A fussy revisitation of antiprotons as a tool for Dark Matter searches
Mathieu Boudaud
Antiprotons are regarded as a powerful probe for Dark Matter (DM) indirect detection and indeed current data from \PAMELA\ have been shown to lead to stringent constraints. However…
In-depth analysis of the clustering of dark matter particles around primordial black holes I: density profiles
Mathieu Boudaud, Thomas Lacroix, Martin Stref +2
Primordial black holes may have been produced in the early stages of the thermal history of the Universe after cosmic inflation. If so, dark matter in the form of elementary partic…
New minimal, median, and maximal propagation models for dark matter searches with Galactic cosmic rays
Yoann Génolini, Mathieu Boudaud, Marco Cirelli +5
Galactic charged cosmic rays (notably electrons, positrons, antiprotons and light antinuclei) are powerful probes of dark matter annihilation or decay, in particular for candidates…
Robust cosmic-ray constraints on -wave annihilating MeV dark matter
Mathieu Boudaud, Thomas Lacroix, Martin Stref +1
We recently proposed a method to constrain -wave annihilating MeV dark matter from a combination of the Voyager 1 and the AMS-02 data on cosmic-ray electrons and positrons. Voya…
Voyager 1 Further Constrain Primordial Black Holes as Dark Matter
Mathieu Boudaud, Marco Cirelli
Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) with a mass g are expected to inject sub-GeV electrons and positrons in the Galaxy via Hawking radiation. These cosmic rays are…
Novel cosmic-ray electron and positron constraints on MeV dark matter particles
Mathieu Boudaud, Julien Lavalle, Pierre Salati
MeV dark matter (DM) particles annihilating or decaying to electron-positron pairs cannot, in principle, be observed via local cosmic-ray (CR) measurements because of the shielding…
