Sub-keV dark matter can strongly ionize molecular clouds
Pedro De la Torre Luque, Pierluca Carenza, Thong T. Q. Nguyen
We show that the ionization of dense molecular clouds can be used to set strong constraints on dark matter models producing UV/X-ray photons in their annihilation or decay. We plac…
The cosmic-ray sea explains the diffuse Galactic gamma-ray and neutrino emission from GeV to PeV
Pedro De La Torre Luque, Daniele Gaggero, Dario Grasso +2
The LHAASO collaboration has recently released the spectrum and the angular distribution of the -ray Galactic diffuse emission from 1 TeV to 1 PeV measured with the Kilometer-2…
In-flight positron annihilation as a probe of feebly interacting particles
Shyam Balaji, Pierluca Carenza, Pedro De la Torre Luque +2
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) provide a unique environment to study Feebly Interacting Particles (FIPs) such as Axion-Like Particles (ALPs), sterile neutrinos, and Dark Photons (D…
Anomalous Ionization in the Central Molecular Zone by sub-GeV Dark Matter
Pedro De la Torre Luque, Shyam Balaji, Joseph Silk
We demonstrate that the anomalous ionization rate observed in the Central Molecular Zone can be attributed to MeV dark matter annihilations into pairs for galactic dark ma…
Galactic Gas Models Strongly Affect the Determination of the Diffusive Halo Height
Pedro De La Torre Luque, Tim Linden
The height of the Milky Way diffusion halo, above which cosmic-rays can freely escape the galaxy, is among the most critical, yet poorly known, parameters in cosmic-ray physics. Me…
Cosmic-ray propagation and production of secondary particles in the Galaxy
Pedro de la Torre Luque
Cosmic rays are nowadays a crucial tool to study the astrophysics of extreme objects in the Universe, the cosmic environmental plasma (both Galactic and extra-galactic), the physic…
