Description

In this talk I will briefly describe some of the most recent work I have done within the Fermi LAT collaboration on the search for dark matter. Both WIMP and axion-like particle scenarios have been explored. Dwarf galaxies, galaxy clusters and the diffuse gamma-ray background are some of the astrophysical targets used in this search. I will end by discussing my group’s ongoing research on other less explored scenarios that could still provide further and significant insight on the nature of the dark matter. I will also mention some of our planned work with the future Cherenkov telescope array (CTA).
