Spectral cutoffs in indirect dark matter searches
Christoph Weniger, Torsten Bringmann, Francesca Calore +1
Indirect searches for dark matter annihilation or decay products in the cosmic-ray spectrum are plagued by the question of how to disentangle a dark matter signal from the omnipres…
Probing Dark Matter Decay and Annihilation with Fermi LAT Observations of Nearby Galaxy Clusters
Xiaoyuan Huang, Gilles Vertongen, Christoph Weniger
Galaxy clusters are promising targets for indirect dark matter searches. Gamma-ray signatures from the decay or annihilation of dark matter particles inside these clusters could be…
On the Relevance of Sharp Gamma-Ray Features for Indirect Dark Matter Searches
Torsten Bringmann, Francesca Calore, Gilles Vertongen +1
Gamma rays from the annihilation of dark matter particles in the Galactic halo provide a particularly promising means of indirectly detecting dark matter. Here, we demonstrate that…
Entropy, Baryon Asymmetry and Dark Matter from Heavy Neutrino Decays
W. Buchmuller, K. Schmitz, G. Vertongen
The origin of the hot phase of the early universe remains so far an unsolved puzzle. A viable option is entropy production through the decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos whose life…
Hunting Dark Matter Gamma-Ray Lines with the Fermi LAT
Gilles Vertongen, Christoph Weniger
Monochromatic photons could be produced in the annihilation or decay of dark matter particles. At high energies, the search for such line features in the cosmic gamma-ray spectrum…
Matter and Dark Matter from False Vacuum Decay
W. Buchmuller, K. Schmitz, G. Vertongen
We study tachyonic preheating associated with the spontaneous breaking of B-L, the difference of baryon and lepton number. Reheating occurs through the decays of heavy Majorana neu…
