  • Search for heavy dark matter from dwarf spheroidal galaxies: leveraging cascades and subhalo models

    The Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) has been widely used to search for
    Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter signals due to its
    unparalleled sensitivity in the GeV energy band. The leading constraints for
    WIMP by Fermi-LAT are obtained from the analyses of dwarf spheroidal galaxies
    within the Local Group, which are compelling targets for dark matter searches
    due to their relatively low astrophysical backgrounds and high dark matter
    content. In the meantime, the search for heavy dark matter with masses above
    TeV remains a compelling and relatively unexplored frontier. In this study, we
    utilize 14-year Fermi-LAT data to search for dark matter annihilation and decay
    signals in 8 classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies within the Local Group. We
    consider secondary emission caused by electromagnetic cascades of prompt gamma
    rays and electrons/positrons from dark matter, which enables us to extend the
    search with Fermi-LAT to heavier dark matter cases. We also update the dark
    matter subhalo model with informative priors respecting the fact that they
    reside in subhalos of our Milky Way halo aiming to enhance the robustness of
    our results. We place constraints on dark matter annihilation cross section and
    decay lifetime for dark matter masses ranging from $10^3$ GeV to $10^{11}$ GeV,
    where our limits are more stringent than those obtained by many other
    high-energy gamma-ray instruments.

  • Dark Matter Search with Cherenkov Telescope Array

    Many models of dark matter (DM) are now widely considered and probed
    intensively with accelerators, underground detectors, and astrophysical
    experiments. Among the various approaches, high-energy astrophysical
    observations are extremely useful to complement laboratory searches for some DM
    candidates. In the near future, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) should
    enable us to access much heavier weakly interacting massive particles, as well
    as a broad range of other DM candidates. In this talk, we describe DM searches
    with CTA.

    ABSTRACT
    Substructures of dark matter halo, called subhaloes, provide important clues to understand the nature of dark matter. We construct a useful model to describe the properties of subhalo mass functions based on the well-known analytical prescriptions, the extended Press–Schechter theory. The unevolved subhalo mass functions at arbitrary mass scales become describable without introducing free parameters. The different host halo evolution histories are directly recast to their subhalo mass functions. As applications, we quantify the effects from (i) the Poisson fluctuation, (ii) the host-mass scatter, and the (iii) different tidal evolution models on observables in the current Universe with this scheme. The Poisson fluctuation dominates in the number count of the mass ratio to the host of $\sim {\cal O}(10^{-2})$, where the intrinsic scatter is smaller by a factor of a few. The host-mass scatter around its mean does not affect the subhalo mass function. Different models of the tidal evolution predict a factor of ∼2 difference in numbers of subhaloes with $\lesssim {\cal O}(10^{-5})$, while the dependence of the Poisson fluctuation on the tidal evolution models is subtle. The scheme provides a new tool for investigating the smallest scale structures of our Universe which are to be observed in near future experiments.

  • Impacts of new small-scale N-body simulations on dark matter annihilations constrained from cosmological 21-cm line observations

    We revisit constraints on annihilating dark matter based on the global 21cm
    signature observed by EDGES. For this purpose, we used the numerical data of
    the latest N-body simulation performed by state-of-the-art standard in order to
    estimate the boost factor at high redshifts ($z$ = 10 - 100), which enhances
    the annihilation of dark matter in course of structure formation. By taking
    into account to what fraction injected energy from dark matter annihilation
    contributes to ionization, excitation and heating of intergalactic medium
    during dark ages, we estimated how large the global 21cm absorption can be. By
    assuming the thermal freezeout scenario, we find that $m_{\rm DM} < 15$ GeV and
    $m_{\rm DM} < 3$ GeV have been excluded at 95$\%$ C.L. for the annihilation
    modes into $b\bar{b}$ and $e^+ e^-$, respectively.
