TASI Lectures on Indirect Searches For Dark Matter
Dan Hooper
In these lectures, I describe a variety of efforts to identify or constrain the identity of dark matter by detecting the annihilation or decay products of these particles, or their…
Constraints on Decaying Dark Matter from the Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background
Carlos Blanco, Dan Hooper
If the dark matter is unstable, the decay of these particles throughout the universe and in the halo of the Milky Way could contribute significantly to the isotropic gamma-ray back…
Active Galactic Nuclei and the Origin of IceCube's Diffuse Neutrino Flux
Dan Hooper, Tim Linden, Abby Vieregg
The excess of neutrino candidate events detected by IceCube from the direction of TXS 0506+056 has generated a great deal of interest in blazars as sources of high-energy neutrinos…
WIMPflation
Dan Hooper, Gordan Krnjaic, Andrew J. Long +1
We propose a class of models in which a stable inflaton is produced as a thermal relic in the early universe and constitutes the dark matter. We show that inflaton annihilations ca…
Life Versus Dark Energy: How An Advanced Civilization Could Resist the Accelerating Expansion of the Universe
Dan Hooper
The presence of dark energy in our universe is causing space to expand at an accelerating rate. As a result, over the next approximately 100 billion years, all stars residing beyon…
Millisecond Pulsars, TeV Halos, and Implications For The Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Excess
Dan Hooper, Tim Linden
Observations by HAWC indicate that many young pulsars (including Geminga and Monogem) are surrounded by spatially extended, multi-TeV emitting regions. It is not currently known, h…
