Can Supersymmetry Naturally Explain the Positron Excess?
Dan Hooper, James E. Taylor, Joseph Silk
It has often been suggested that the cosmic positron excess observed by the HEAT experiment could be the consequence of supersymmetric dark matter annihilating in the galactic halo…
Searching For Dark Matter with Neutrino Telescopes
Dan Hooper, Joseph Silk
One of the most interesting mysteries of astrophysics is the puzzle of dark matter. Although numerous techniques have been explored and developed to detect this elusive substance,…
Possible Evidence for MeV Dark Matter In Dwarf Spheroidals
Dan Hooper, Francesc Ferrer, Céline Boehm +4
It has been recently proposed that the observed 511 keV emission from the Galactic bulge could be the product of very light (1-100 MeV) annihilating dark matter particles. Other po…
GRB941017: A Case Study of Neutrino Production in Gamma Ray Bursts
Jaime Alvarez-Muñiz, Francis Halzen, Dan Hooper
GRB941017, a gamma-ray burst of exceptional fluence, has recently been shown to have a high-energy component which is not consistent with the standard fireball phenomenology. If th…
MeV Dark Matter: Has It Been Detected?
Celine Boehm, Dan Hooper, Joseph Silk +1
We discuss the possibility that the recent detection of 511 keV gamma-rays from the galactic bulge, as observed by INTEGRAL, is a consequence of low mass (~MeV) particle dark matte…
IceCube-Plus: An Ultra-High Energy Neutrino Telescope
Francis Halzen, Dan Hooper
While the first kilometer-scale neutrino telescope, IceCube, is under construction, alternative plans exist to build even larger detectors that will, however, b e limited by a much…
