4 Who needs dark matter? Introduction and models Dark matter detection Anyone wanting to make sense of: 1 rotation curves 2 gravitational lensing 3 (Clowe et al., ApJL 2006) cosmological data Large-scale structure (2dF/Chandra/SDSS-BAO) says Ω matter 0.27 BBN says that Ω baryonic 0.04 = Ω non baryonic 5 Ω baryons CMB (WMAP) and SN1a agree; also indicate that Ω total 1 = universe is 23% dark matter, 4% baryonic (visible) matter, 73% something else
5 What the χχχχ is it? Background Introduction and models Dark matter detection Must be: massive (gravitationally-interacting) unable to interact via the electromagnetic force (dark) non-baryonic cold (in order to allow structure formation) stable on cosmological timescales produced with the right relic abundance in the early universe. Good options: Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) sterile neutrinos gravitinos axions axinos hidden sector dark matter (esp. WIMPless dark matter)

8 WIMPs at a glance Background Introduction and models Dark matter detection Dark because no electromagnetic interactions Cold because very massive ( 10 GeV to 10 TeV) Non-baryonic and stable - no problems with BBN or CMB Weak-scale annihilation cross-sections naturally lead to a relic abundance of the right order of magnitude Many theoretically well-motivated particle candidates Supersymmetric (SUSY) neutralinos χ if R-parity is conserved - lightest mixture of neutral higgsinos and gauginos Inert Higgses - extra Higgs in the Standard Model Kaluza-Klein particles - extra dimensions right-handed neutrinos, sneutrinos, other exotic things... Weak interaction means scattering off nuclei detection channel Many WIMPs are Majorana particles (own antiparticles) = self-annihilation cross-section

47 Scanning supersymmetric parameter spaces Goal: given a particular version of SUSY, determine which parameter combinations fit all experiments, and how well Issue 1: Combining fits to different experiments Easy composite likelihood (L 1 L 2 χ χ2 2 ) dark matter relic density from WMAP precision electroweak tests at LEP LEP limits on sparticle masses B-factory data (rare decays, b sγ) muon anomalous magnetic moment Issue 2: Finding the points with the best likelihoods Tough grid scans, MCMCs, nested sampling or genetic algorithms Public codes: SuperBayeS, SFitter, Fittino

53 with Fermi & Segue 1 Existing 9 month dataset does constrain supersymmetry by itself, but only weakly 5 years of data will provide significantly better constraints, but... Only *just* good enough to start impacting models which are not already disfavoured by other constraints (eg relic density) In the event of a signal from a dwarf or the Galactic Centre, we can zero in on the preferred supersymmetric model and cross-section very quickly, and provide confidence intervals Results are consistent with a simple upper limit analysis FLATLIB source freely available from pat/flatlib

55 Genetic Algorithms (GAs) Evolutionary algorithms based on natural selection Individuals (points in the parameter space) are selected and cross-bred to create offspring (new points) Selection and breeding occur according to ranking by a fitness function (the likelihood in our case) Do not use the likelihood gradient = good for messy parameters spaces, with e.g. holes, spikes, etc. Scale better than MCMCs/nested sampling with dimensionality Highly optimised for finding maxima (frequentist) rather than mapping the full likelihood surface/integral (Bayesian)

70 Extras 1: DarkStars code Lots of options and switches: different velocity distributions, widths, stellar orbits, WIMP conductive transport / internal distribution schemes, particle data, stellar masses and metallicities, numerical options... Save and restart - good for evolving part-way then trying different late-stage scenarios DARKSTARS 2.0 coming soon: conversion to full Z = 0 (new opacities, equation of state) DARKSTARS 1.01 can only do Z = 0 on pre-ms Future options for expansion to include alternative form factors and/or WIMP evaporation DARKSTARS 1.01 publicly available from pat/darkstars
