Digging for Dark Matter: Spectral Analysis and Discovery Potential of Paleo-Detectors
Thomas D. P. Edwards, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Christoph Weniger +5
Paleo-detectors are a recently proposed method for the direct detection of Dark Matter (DM). In such detectors, one would search for the persistent damage features left by DM--nucl…
Statistical challenges in the search for dark matter
Sara Algeri, Melissa van Beekveld, Nassim Bozorgnia +19
The search for the particle nature of dark matter has given rise to a number of experimental, theoretical and statistical challenges. Here, we report on a number of these statistic…
Comment on "Understanding the -ray emission from the globular cluster 47 Tuc: evidence for dark matter?"
Richard Bartels, Thomas Edwards
In a recent paper Brown et al. (2018) analyze the spectral properties of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc) using 9 years of Fermi-LAT data. Brown et al. (2018) argue that th…
Bayesian Model Comparison and Analysis of the Galactic Disk Population of Gamma-Ray Millisecond Pulsars
R. T. Bartels, T. D. P. Edwards, C. Weniger
Pulsed emission from almost one hundred millisecond pulsars (MSPs) has been detected in -rays by the Fermi Large-Area Telescope. The global properties of this population remain…
Dark Matter Model or Mass, but Not Both: Assessing Near-Future Direct Searches with Benchmark-free Forecasting
Thomas D. P. Edwards, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Christoph Weniger
Forecasting the signal discrimination power of dark matter (DM) searches is commonly limited to a set of arbitrary benchmark points. We introduce new methods for benchmark-free for…
H.E.S.S. discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission from PKS 0625-354
H. E. S. S. Collaboration, H. Abdalla, A. Abramowski +253
PKS 0625-354 (z=0.055) was observed with the four H.E.S.S. telescopes in 2012 during 5.5 hours. The source was detected above an energy threshold of 200 GeV at a significance level…
