Gamma-ray detection from neutralino annihilation in non--universal SUGRA scenarios

Abstract

We analyze the indirect detection of neutralino dark matter in supergravity scenarios with non-universal soft scalar and gaugino masses. In particular, the gamma-ray flux arising from the galactic center due to neutralino annihilation is computed. In important regions of the parameter space it can be increased significantly (about two orders of magnitude) with respect to the universal scenario. This result is compared with the sensitivity of current and planned experiments, such as the satellite-based detectors EGRET and GLAST and the ground-based atmospheric telescope HESS. For example, for $\tan \beta <35$ the sensitivity region of GLAST and HESS can only be reached in non-universal scenarios.
