38. Developing tools for Galactic Cosmic Ray transport: Dark Matter Annihilation in the light of EGRET, HEAT, WMAP, INTEGRAL and ROSAT

The excess of diffuse galactic gamma rays above 1 GeV, as observed by the EGRET telescope on the NASA Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, shows all the key features from Dark Matter (DM) annihilation: 1) the energy spectrum of the excess is the same in all sky directions and is consistent with the gamma rays expected for the annihilation of WIMPs with a mass between 50-100 GeV; 2) the intensity...

45. A dark matter tool on the web

Evidences for Dark Matter existence have been increasingly compeling. Current and future direct and indirect searches and results from LHC will provide a wealth of new constraints on the nature of Dark Matter. A web page initiated by the ILIAS network has been set-up to provide the community with a developping tool to evaluate the sensitivities and complementarities of different experiments...
