2 !! On galactic scales:! Rotation curves of galaxies;! Weak gravitational lensing;! Velocity dispersion of dwarf spheroidal galaxies;! Velocity dispersion of spiral galaxy saltellites;!!on the scale of galaxy clusters:! Distribution of radial velocities;! Weak gravitational lensing;! X-ray emission;!! On cosmological scales:! CMB anisotropy spectrum;! Matter power spectrum.

3 ... What is the Dark Matter made of? Supersymmetric particles, Kaluza Klein particles, sterile neutrinos, majorons, light dark matter, axions, x-citing DM, little Higgs, wimpzillas, Q-balls... How to detect Dark Matter? (and, even better, how to discriminate different candidates?)! Direct detection: look for the interaction of DM particles with the nucleons in the detector;! Indirect detection: observe the products of DM annihilations/ decays (gamma, neutrinos, positrons, antiprotons..):! Radio observations can probe the heating history of the IGM

4 Pamela measured an excess in the positron fraction in the cosmic rays at E>10GeV

5 ATIC FERMI HESS TEXT

6 The origin of the excess (excesses?) could well be astrophysical (e.g. a nearby pulsar), but it could also be due to dark matter annihilations. This interpretation however has to face several issues (Cirelli et al. 2008): "!The DM mass has to be ~ 1 TeV or more; "!Large cross sections (~10-22 cm 3 /s) are required (ann. flux ~ 1/m DM2 ); "!Final states should be mainly leptonic, to avoid over production of antiprotons; "!Annihilation suppressed in the inner galaxy (Bertone et al. 2009).

7 Can the excess be explained in terms of supersymmetric neutralinos? "! The inclusion of coannihilations opens the 1-10 TeV neutralino mass window to the WMAP5 dark matter density (Profumo 2006) "! The thermal cross section!v ~ 3x10-26 cm 3 /s is too low: a boost factor ~ 10 4 is required.! Clumpiness inside the galaxy could in principle provide some enhancement...!... however it has been shown that boosts larger than (few) x 10 are unlikely (Lavalle et al., 2008);! another possibility: Sommerfeld enhancement

8 The Sommerfeld enhancement is a non-relativistic, non-perturbative quantum correction to the annihilation cross section, arising when the particles interact through a potential. It is more effective at low velocities. The cross section in the early Universe is unchanged. (Profumo, 2005; Hisano et al, 2004; Hisano et al., 2005; Cirelli et al., 2007; March-Russel et al., 2008; Arkani-Hamed et al., 2009; Pospelov & Ritz, 2009; ML & Silk, 2009; March-Russel & West, 2009)

10 A classical analogy Gravitational capture:! = " r 2 (1+v esc /v)#

11 In the language of Feynman diagrams, the Sommerfeld effect arises from the resummation of ladder diagrams where many gauge bosons are exchanged before the annihilation actually occurs: χ X...!v = S(",M) (!v) 0 # χ X This kind of diagrams arise naturally for a Wino-like or Higgsino-like neutralino; the particles that are exchanged are the SM gauge bosons.

15 In the galactic halo, "#10!3.$ However, the clumps in the halo can be much colder. For a clump of 10 5 M sun, "~10-5. From simulations, one can also infer that the velocity dispersion scales ~ M This should continue down to the minimum halo mass, setted by the DM damping scale; for neutralinos this is ~ 10-6 M sun. On average, the signal is boosted up to a factor in the cold clumps. Furthermore, assuming that the clump mass fraction f ~ t d = r/v r ~ r 3/2, one finds that the outer halo has a high survival fraction, while in the innermost galaxy all clumps are destroyed.

24 Since the neutralino is a majorana particle, its annihilation to fermions is suppressed by a factor (M/m f ) 2 due to helicity conservation. Thus the preferred annihilation channels are either gauge bosons or heavy quarks. However this can be circumvented if the annihilation proceeds through an intermediate state: χ 0 χ l W, Z... ν χ 0 χ + l +
