1 Indirect Evidence for Dark Matter Annihilation from Diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays Wim de Boer, Christian Sander, Valery Zhukov Univ. Karlsruhe Outline (see astro-ph/ ) Annihilation cross section determined by Hubble constant and WMAP relic density EGRET Data on diffuse Gamma Rays show excess in all sky directions with the SAME energy spectrum WIMP mass between 50 and 100 GeV from spectrum of EGRET excess Halo distribution from sky map Data consistent with Supersymmetry December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 1

2 Dark Matter annihilation cross section determined by Hubble constant! December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 2

3 Hubble const. determines WIMP annihilation x-section Thermal equilibrium abundance Jungmann,Kamionkowski, Griest, PR 1995 Comoving number density Actual abundance T=M/25 x=m/t Boltzmann equation: H-Term takes care of decrease in density by expansion. Right-hand side: Annihilation and Production. T>>M: f+f->m+m; M+M->f+f T<M: M+M->f+f T=M/25: M decoupled, stable density (wenn annihilation expansion rate, i.e. H!) WIMP annihilation is a strong source of antiprotons, positrons and gammas by annihilation into quarks. Present number density (W h 2 = ) requires <sv>= cm 3 /s December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 3

6 SUSY Mass spectra in msugra LSP largely Bino DM may be supersymmetric partner of CMB Charginos, neutralinos and gluinos light December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 6

7 Unification of gauge couplings Update from Amaldi, db, Fürstenau, PLB SM SUSY With SUSY spectrum from EGRET data perfect gauge coupling unification possible for a s =0.123 as determined from R l =Γ had /Γ lepton This value is independent of luminosity. Note a s =0.115 from Γ had alone, but this value is probably low because of systematic uncertainty in LEP lumi. If lumi increased by 3s, a s =0.122 and N v =3.0! (db, Sander, PL B585 (2004)) December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 7

Karlsruhe 8

9 Indirect Dark Matter detection December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 9

10 Indirect detection of DM with gamma rays First question: how to tell source of a gamma ray? Answer: one cannot, since gammas observed along line of sight, and many sources in a given direction. How to distinguish then between sources? Point sources from intensity ( hot spots ), if strong enough Diffuse gamma ray sources (pp->p 0 +x->gg+x, eg->eg, en->egn, Extragalactic Background, DMA) all have quite different ENERGY spectra AND different SKYMAPS Strategy: fit SHAPES of various contributions to energy spectrum (FREE NORMALIZATIONS) in 360 SKY DIRECTIONS -> CHECK if normalizations and intensities in various sky directions are consistent with models, BUT WE DO NOT DEPEND ON Galactic models or supersymmetric parameters!!!!! Beware: errors in EGRET data dominated by systematic uncertainties-> strong correlations -> to be taken into account in fits. (as in D Agostini, db, Grindhammer, Phys.Lett.B229:160,1989) Published data not sufficient. Need direct analysis of public EGRET data. December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 10

13 EGRET DATA on diffuse Gamma Rays December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 13

14 EGRET on CGRO (Compton Gamma Ray Observ.) 9 yrs of data taken in space! ( ) December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 14

15 Origins of diffuse gamma rays Gamma Ray Flux from WIMP annihilation: Similar expressions for: pp->p 0 +x->gg+x, (r given by gas density, highest in disc) eg->eg, en->egn, (r given by electron/gamma density, highest in disc) Extragalactic Background (isotropic) DM annihilation (r 1/r 2 for flat rotation curve) All have very different, but known energy spectra. Cross sections known. Densities not well known, so keep absolute normalization free for each process. Fit shape of various contributions with free normalization, but normalization limited by experimental overall normalization error, which is 15% for EGRET data. Point-to-point 7% (yields good c 2 ). December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 15

17 Excess of Diffuse Gamma Rays has same spectrum in all directions compatible with WIMP mass of GeV Egret Excess above extrapolated background from data below 0.5 GeV Statistical errors only Excess same shape in all regions implying same source everywhere Important: if experiment measures gamma rays down to 0.1 GeV, then normalizations of DM annihilation and background can both be left free, so one is not sensitive to absolute background estimates, BUT ONLY TO THE SHAPE, which is much better known. December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 17

18 Diffuse Gamma Rays for different sky regions Good Fits for WIMP masses between 50 and 100 GeV A: inner Galaxy B: outer disc C: outer Galaxy D: low latitude E: intermediate lat.

I believe it is impossible! c2= 306.5/324 for Optimized Model +DM +correl. errors: Prob = Boostfactor=25 for OM vs 70 for CM December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 26

39 What do we have? DMA describes all sky directions with single WIMP mass and WIMP annihilation into mono energetic quarks DM distributed as 1/r 2 profile with substructure at positions with enhanced gravitational potential Rotation curve can be reconstructed from GAMMA Rays! (First time real explanation for change of slope in outer RC) What is the problem? Many aspects from different fields-> hard to judge all aspects simultaneously. December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 39

40 Objections from astrophysicists Astrophysicists: cannot believe collisionless DM is self-annihilating and that particle physicists even believe to know spectral shapes of final states! They prefer their local bubbles. Answer: too bad, but their local bubbles or optimized models do not work if they learn what covariance matrices are. December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 40

41 Objections from particle physicists Particle physicists: you assume spectrum of protons to be the same everywhere in galaxy. How can you be sure? Answers: 1) If centre of galaxy would be different because of SN there,no reason to get same shape of excess in outer galaxy (very few SN) 2) energy loss times > age of universe, very hard to image strong changes in spectral shape if protons diffuse from centre to us in» 10 8 yr December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 41

42 Objections from astronomers Astronomers: outer rotation curve determined with different method than inner rotation curve. Hard to compare. Furthermore slope depends on distance to centre (R 0 ) v Sofue &Honma Inner rotation curve Outer rotation curve R 0 =8.3 kpc R 0 =7.0 Answer: First points of outer rot. curve in perfect agreement with inner rot. curve. CHANGE in slope for any R 0 R/R 0 Black hole at centre: R 0 = kpc December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 42

49 Physics Questions Astrophysicists: What is the origin of GeV excess of diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays? Astronomers: Why a change of slope in the galactic rotation curve above R 0 =8.3 kpc? Why ring of stars at 14 kpc so stable? Why ring of molecular hydrogen at 4 kpc so stable? Cosmologists: How is Cold Dark Matter distributed? Particle physicists: Is DM annihilating as expected in Supersymmetry? December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 49

50 Answers 1. DM made of WIMPS annihilating into quarks, which yield hard gammas from p 0 decays 2. Annihilation cross section is consistent with HUBBLE constant! Gamma excess shows substructure: 3. a ring of DM at kpc coinciding with ring of stars thought to originate from the infall of a dwarf galaxy 4. and ring of DM at 4 kpc correlated with molecular H 2 5. From the ENERGY SPECTRUM of the excess of gamma rays DM: WIMP mass GeV 6. From INTENSITY: halo distribution and rotation curve 7. WIMP has properties of the lightest supersymmetric particle Conventional models based on local bubbles cannot explain the stability of the ring of stars at 14 kpc nor the shape of the rotation curve nor the good agreement for all the answers SIMULTANEOUSLY! December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 50

51 Summary EGRET excess shows all key features from DM annihilation: Excess has same shape in all sky directions: everywhere it is perfectly (only?) explainable with superposition of background AND mono-energetic quarks of GeV Excess follows expectations from galaxy formation: 1/r 2 profile, visible matter/dm»0.02, anisotropic infall, high surface density, Ldisc along minor axis of triaxial halo Excess connected to MASS, since it can explain peculiar shape of rotation curve These combined features provide FIRST EVIDENCE that DM is not so dark and follows all expectations one has been imagining so far. December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 51

52 Is Dark Matter Supersymmetric? Gammas cannot prove the supersymmetric nature of DM, but cross sections for fitted WIMP mass range of GeV ARE PERFECTLY CONSISTENT WITH SUPERSYMMETRY. LHC experiments will tell in 2008 if DM is supersymmetric! December Seminar Bonn, W. de Boer, Univ. Karlsruhe 52
