Description

Dwarf galaxies have long been considered an ideal target in the search of annihilation from wimp-like dark matter particles. As has been shown by Fermi, few dwarf galaxies have shown indications of an excess at the 3-4 sigma, typically limited by the amplitude of the background, and the angular resolution of the detector. I will discuss the advantages of a pencil-like detector approach in the search for a signal from dwarf galaxies and demonstrate the advantages and utility of such technologies in other faint astrophysical sources.
