We present a classically scale-invariant model with a confining dark sector, which is coupled to the Standard Model through the Higgs portal. The galactic centre gamma ray excess can be explained in this model by collision-induced dark…
Dark matter annihilation has been proposed to explain the TeV gamma rays observed from the Galactic Center. We study constraints on this hypothesis coming from the mass profile around the Galactic Center measured by observing stellar…
The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) mission revealed a break in the spectrum of cosmic-ray electons and positrons. This is associated with an excess above the expected backgrounds at energies around 1 TeV. Several authors have argued…
Tentative evidence for excess GeV-scale gamma rays from the galactic center has been corroborated by several groups, including the Fermi collaboration, on whose data the observation is based. Dark matter annihilation into standard model…
Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescopes, including HESS and MAGIC, have detected a spectrum of gamma-rays from the galactic center region which extends from $\sim$200 GeV or lower, to at least $\sim$10 TeV. Although the source of this radiation is…
The recent LHC Run-2 data have shown a possible excess in diphoton events, suggesting the existence of a new resonance $\phi$ with mass $M\sim 750$~GeV. If $\phi$ plays the role of a portal particle connecting the Standard Model and the…
Indications for a gamma-ray line(s) signal towards the Galactic center at an energy of about 130 GeV have been recently presented. While dark matter annihilations are a viable candidate for this signal, it is generally expected that such a…
Observations by the Fermi-LAT telescope have uncovered a significant $\gamma$-ray excess toward the Milky Way Galactic Center. There has been no detection of a similar signal in the direction of the Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies.…
Recently, an excess of GeV gamma ray near the Galactic Centre has beenvreported. The spectrum obtained can be best fitted with the annihilationvof $30-40$ GeV dark matter particles through $b \bar{b}$ channel. In this letter, I show that…
Dark matter (DM) in the Milky Way halo may annihilate or decay to photons, producing monochromatic gamma rays. We search for DM-induced spectral lines using 14 years of data from the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space…
The Fermi gamma ray space telescope data have pointed towards an excess of gamma rays with a peak around $1-3$ GeV in the region surrounding the galactic center. This anomalous excess can be described well by a dark matter candidate having…
We analyze the first two years of data from the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope from the direction of the inner 10 degrees around the Galactic Center with the intention of constraining, or finding evidence of, annihilating dark matter. We…
The presence of dark matter is nowadays widely supported by a large body of astronomical and cosmological observations. A large amount of dark matter is expected to be present in the central region of the Milky Way. Very-high-energy (>100…
An excess of gamma rays at GeV energies has been pointed out in the Fermi-LAT data. This signal comes from a narrow region centred around the Galactic center and has been interpreted as possible evidence for light dark matter particles…
Many models currently exist which attempt to interpret the excess of gamma rays emanating from the Galactic Center in terms of annihilating or decaying dark matter. These models typically exhibit a variety of complicated cascade mechanisms…
We propose a novel mechanism enabling us to have a continuum bump as a signature of gamma-ray excess in indirect detection experiments of dark matter (DM), postulating a generic dark sector having (at least) two DM candidates. With the…
Over the past few decades, an anomalous 511 keV gamma-ray line has been observed from the centre of the Milky Way. Dark matter (DM) in the form of light weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) annihilating into electron-positron pairs…
We perform a composite likelihood analysis of subdivided regions within the central $26^\circ\times20^\circ$ of the Milky Way, with the aim of characterizing the spectrum of the gamma-ray galactic center excess in regions of varying…
In a previous work, it was found that the Light Dark Matter (LDM) scenario could be a possible explanation to the 511 keV emission line detected at the centre of our galaxy. Here, we show that hints of this scenario may also have been…
Recent observations of gamma-rays with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) in the direction of the inner Galaxy revealed a mysterious GeV excess. Its intensity is significantly above predictions of the standard model of cosmic rays (CRs)…
