High-energy gamma rays are among the most promising tools to constrain or reveal the nature of dark matter (DM), in particular the Weakly Interacting Massive Particles models. The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is well into its pre-construction phase and will soon probe the high-energy gamma-ray sky in the 20 GeV - 300 TeV energy range. Thanks to its improved energy and angular resolutions...
The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) represents the next-generation ground-based gamma-ray observatory in the energy range between 30 GeV and 300 TeV. It will open the window to gamma-ray searches for annihilation or decay of heavy (TeV) Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in astrophysical Dark Matter (DM) budgets with unprecedented sensitivity. In this talk, I will review the current...
Evidence suggests ~85% of the mass in the Universe is dark matter (DM). Several promising DM theories predict that it is a fundamental particle. The most famous of which is the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). WIMPs that annihilate at a weak-scale cross section that were in thermal equilibrium in the Universe produce the observed DM abundance today. DM particles are theorized to...
