On the Energy Distribution of the Galactic Center Excess' Sources

Florian List, Yujin Park, Nicholas L. Rodd +2

The Galactic Center Excess (GCE) may yet herald the discovery of annihilating dark matter. Weighing against that conclusion are analyses showing evidence for dim point sources with…

Search for Ultraheavy Dark Matter from Observations of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with VERITAS

A. Acharyya, A. Archer, P. Bangale +51

Dark matter is a key piece of the current cosmological scenario, with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) a leading dark matter candidate. WIMPs have not been detected in…

Toward the ultimate reach of current imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes and their sensitivity to TeV dark matter

Alessandro Montanari, Emmanuel Moulin, Nicholas L. Rodd

Indirect detection opens a unique window for probing thermal dark matter (DM): the same annihilation process that determined the relic abundance in the early Universe drives the pr…

Current and future gamma-ray searches for dark-matter annihilation beyond the unitarity limit

Donggeun Tak, Matthew Baumgart, Nicholas L. Rodd +1

For decades, searches for electroweak-scale dark matter (DM) have been performed without a definitive detection. This lack of success may hint that DM searches have focused on the…

The Future of Gamma-Ray Experiments in the MeV-EeV Range

Kristi Engel, Jordan Goodman, Petra Huentemeyer +95

Gamma-rays, the most energetic photons, carry information from the far reaches of extragalactic space with minimal interaction or loss of information. They bring messages about par…

Dim but not entirely dark: Extracting the Galactic Center Excess' source-count distribution with neural nets

Florian List, Nicholas L. Rodd, Geraint F. Lewis

The two leading hypotheses for the Galactic Center Excess (GCE) in the data are an unresolved population of faint millisecond pulsars (MSPs) and dark-matter (DM) a…
