Description
Dark matter is one of the most important and elusive enduring mysteries of physics in the last century. Gamma ray astronomy offers a possible avenue to determine dark matter’s particle nature through observation of gamma ray by-products of its annihilation or decay. However, it is challenging to formulate a robust dark matter search given our lack of knowledge on dark matter physics. In this talk, I describe a robust, flexible framework that can describe a large number of models. In order to achieve this, we model the final state output contributions and differential J factor maps in a model-independent way using future data from the Cherenkov Telescope Array observatory.
