3 DM halo and substructure CDM cosmology structure forms hierarchically (small form firstly, larger halos form later) After kinetic decoupling, free-streaming erases density fluctuations (Loeb et al.) SUSY- CDM predicts halo down to 10-6 M (Green et al.). First objects from at z=60 If survive, multitude of substructure halos in galaxies (Diemand et al) Enhance annihilation rate ρ 2 (clumping factor) Diemand et al. (2005) Diemand et al.

5 ICS gamma-rays from Galactic DM subhalos prompt emissions (no diffusion) ICS emissions M min =10 6 M Monte Carlo realization λ D 1 kpc (~5 o ) E e = 1 TeV;E γ =10GeV log(i) 5

6 Angular power spectrum No Diffusion 1. E e = 1 TeV 2. M min =10-6 M E γ =10GeV E γ =100GeV E γ =1GeV Key point: Due to e + e - diffusion, exponential suppression at l 10, which determined by diffusion length l "d/λ D 6

7 Conclusions For radio signatures: Extragalactic DM halos produce flat Cl at GHz, which may allow to distinguish DM signals from std., relevant for future surveys such as LOFAR and SKA For γ-ray signatures: Pure IC produces a new feature in Cl with exponential suppression at l#10, which could be detected by Fermi after foreground removal. 7

For the cases E<1TeV the corresponding diffusion length λ D (E) is also shown in braces.
