The gamma-ray excess observed by the Fermi-LAT in the Galactic Center can be interpreted by the dark matter annihilation to $b\bar{b}$ via a light pseudoscalar in the NMSSM. It is interesting to note that the corresponding singlet scalar is…
We analyse the effect of the compression of the dark matter due to the infall of baryons to the galactic center on the gamma-ray flux. In addition, we also consider the effect of non-universal supersymmetric soft terms. This analysis shows…
In this article, we focus on a new scalar $\phi$ mediated scalar/vectorial WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) with $\phi$'s mass slightly below the WIMP mass. To explain the Galactic center 1 - 3 GeV gamma-ray excess, here we…
Observations with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) indicate an excess in gamma rays originating from the center of our Galaxy. A possible explanation for this excess is the annihilation of Dark Matter particles. We have investigated the…

We discuss the gamma-ray signal from dark matter annihilation in our Galaxy and in external objects, namely the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and M87. We derive predictions for the fluxes in a low energy realization of…
If dark matter (DM), which is considered to constitute most of the mass of galaxies, is made of supersymmetric (SUSY) particles, the centers of galaxies should emit gamma-rays produced by their self-annihilation. We present accurate…

The gamma-ray excess observed from the Galactic Center can be interpreted as dark matter particles annihilating into Standard Model fermions with a cross section near that expected for a thermal relic. Although many particle physics models…

We consider the possibility that the Higgs can be produced in dark matter annihilations, appearing as a line in the spectrum of gamma rays at an energy determined by the masses of the WIMP and the Higgs itself. We argue that this phenomenon…

We propose a new signature for weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter, a spectral feature in the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray radiation. This feature, a sudden drop of the gamma-ray intensity at an energy corresponding to…
