Kaluza-Klein Dark Matter And Neutrinos From Annihilation In The Sun
Thomas Flacke, Arjun Menon, Dan Hooper +1
In models with one universal extra dimension (UED), the first Kaluza-Klein excitations of the hypercharge gauge boson, B^(1), and the neutral component of isospin gauge boson, W^3(…
Extended MSSM Neutralinos as the Source of the PAMELA Positron Excess
Dan Hooper, Tim M. P. Tait
We consider a scenario within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended by a singlet chiral superfield, in which neutralino dark matter annihilates to light singlet-like H…
TASI 2008 Lectures on Dark Matter
Dan Hooper
Based on lectures given at the 2008 Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI), I review here some aspects of the phenomenology of particle dark matter, including the process of t…
The PAMELA and ATIC Excesses From a Nearby Clump of Neutralino Dark Matter
Dan Hooper, Albert Stebbins, Kathryn M. Zurek
In this letter, we suggest that a nearby clump of 600-1000 GeV neutralinos may be responsible for the excesses recently observed in the cosmic ray positron and electron spectra by…
Neutralino Dark Matter as the Source of the WMAP Haze
Gabriel Caceres, Dan Hooper
Previously, it has been argued that the anomalous emission from the region around the Galactic Center observed by WMAP, known as the ``WMAP Haze'', may be the synchrotron emission…
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…
