Saas-Fee Lecture Notes: Multi-messenger Astronomy and Dark Matter
arXiv:1202.1170
Abstract
Notes of lectures given at the Saas-Fee School 2010 in Les Diablerets, Switzerland. These notes are of introductory nature and should be suitable for graduate students and postdocs wanting to learn the basics of astroparticle physics and cosmology, with special focus on the question of the nature and detection methods of particle dark matter.
105 pages, 12 figures. Lecture notes from the Saas-Fee Advanced Course 40, 2010, "Astrophysics at Very-High Energies" to be published by Springer
