In this thorough study we focus on the indirect detection of Dark Matter (DM) through the confrontation of unexplained galactic and extragalactic $\gamma$-ray signatures for a low mass DM model. For this, we consider a simple Higgs-portal…

There is evidence for an excess of gamma rays with $O({\rm GeV})$ energy coming from the Galactic Center in data from the Fermi Telescope. The spectrum of the excess is well fit by 30 GeV dark matter annihilating into a pair of $b$ quarks…

Models of weak-scale supersymmetry offer viable dark matter (DM) candidates. Their parameter spaces are however rather large and complex, such that pinning down the actual parameter values from experimental data can depend strongly on the…

The addition of non-renormalizable terms involving the Higgs fields to the MSSM ameliorates the little hierarchy problem of the MSSM. For neutralino dark matter, new regions for which the relic abundance of the LSP is consistent with WMAP…

The Galactic Center region is expected to host the largest density of Dark Matter (DM) particles within the Milky Way. Then a relatively large gamma-ray signal would be expected from the possible DM particles annihilation (or decay). We are…
