6 Neutralino WIMPs Assume χ present in the galactic halo χ is its own antiparticle => can annihilate in galactic halo producing gamma-rays, antiprotons, positrons. Antimatter not produced in large quantities through standard processes (secondary production through p + p --> p + X) So, any extra contribution from exotic sources (χ χ annihilation) is an interesting signature ie: χ χ --> p + X Produced from (e. g.) χ χ --> q / g / gauge boson / Higgs boson and subsequent decay and/ or hadronisation.

33 Why study γ s? γ rays offer a direct view into Nature s largest accelerators. the Universe is mainly transparent to γ rays with < 20 GeV that can probe cosmological volumes. Any opacity is energydependent for higher energy.

44 DoE NASA international partnership GLAST renamed Fermi by NASA on August 26, Enrico Fermi ( ) was an Italian physicist who immigrated to the United States. He was the first to suggest a viable way to produce high-energy particles in cosmic sources. Since gamma-rays are produced by interactions of such energetic particles, his work is the foundation for many of the studies being done with the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, formerly GLAST.

67 205 Preliminary LAT Bright Sources - Some Information EGRET on the Compton Observatory found fewer than 30 sources above 10 σ in its lifetime. Typical 95% error radius is less than 10 arcmin. For the brightest sources, it is less than 3 arcmin. Improvements are expected. About 1/3 of the sources show definite evidence of variability. More than 30 pulsars are identified by gamma-ray pulsations. Over half the sources are associated positionally with blazars. Some of these are firmly identified as blazars by correlated multiwavelength variability. Over 40 sources have no obvious associations with known gamma-ray emitting types of astrophysical objects.

73 The Galactic Diffuse Emission Galprop conventional model Spectra shown for mid-latitude range GeV excess in this region of the sky is not confirmed. Sources are not subtracted but are a minor component. LAT errors are dominated by systematic uncertainties and are currently estimated to be ~10% this is preliminary. EGRET data is prepared as in Strong, et al with a 15% systematic error assumed to dominate (Esposito, et al. 1999). EG + instrumental is assumed to be isotropic and determined from fitting the data at b > 10. In order to use it for constraining DM one needs to understand the background model uncertainties which is a non trivial problem ( we are working on that).

87 The key to understanding the origin of the excess in the ratio is the accurate measurement of positron and electron fluxes separately. To confirm the DM signature, we should look into the signal in HE pbars (PAMELA) and gamma-rays (Fermi (GLAST)). If this is an astrophysical source of positrons, it should be quite close and we should probably be able to see it with Fermi.

111 Conclusion: Astrophysics of cosmic rays and related topics is a very dynamic field: expect many breakthroughs and discoveries soon! Intermediate latitude -ray spectra can be explained by cosmic-ray propagation models based on local cosmic-ray nuclei and electron spectra. The EGRET GeV excess is not seen in this region of the sky with the Fermi LAT. Work to analyse and understand diffuse emission over the entire sky is in progress. Fermi has started to probe interesting regions of the supersymmetric parameter space. More statistics and the high energy all -electron spectra will expand these regions.
