The case for a directional dark matter detector and the status of current experimental efforts
S. Ahlen, N. Afshordi, J. B. R. Battat +109
We present the case for a dark matter detector with directional sensitivity. This document was developed at the 2009 CYGNUS workshop on directional dark matter detection, and conta…
The Fermi Haze: A Gamma-Ray Counterpart to the Microwave Haze
Gregory Dobler, Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Ilias Cholis +2
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope reveals a diffuse inverse Compton signal in the inner Galaxy with a similar spatial morphology to the microwave haze observed by WMAP, supportin…
A statistical test of emission from unresolved point sources
Tracy R. Slatyer, Douglas P. Finkbeiner
We describe a simple test of the spatial uniformity of an ensemble of discrete events. Given an estimate for the point source luminosity function and an instrumental point spread f…
The Fermi gamma-ray spectrum of the inner galaxy: Implications for annihilating dark matter
Ilias Cholis, Gregory Dobler, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +3
Recently, a preliminary spectrum from the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been presented for the inner galaxy (-30 < l < 30, -5 < b < 5), as well as the galactic center (-1 < l…
CMB Constraints on WIMP Annihilation: Energy Absorption During the Recombination Epoch
Tracy R. Slatyer, Nikhil Padmanabhan, Douglas P. Finkbeiner
We compute in detail the rate at which energy injected by dark matter annihilation heats and ionizes the photon-baryon plasma at z ~ 1000, and provide accurate fitting functions ov…
