We examine indirect signals produced by neutralino self-annihilations, in the galactic halo or inside celestial bodies, in the frame of an effective MSSM model without gaugino-mass unification at a grand unification scale. We compare our…
Dark matter neutralinos in the constrained minimal supersymmetric model (CMSSM) may account for the recent cosmic ray electron and positron observations reported by the PAMELA and ATIC experiments either through self annihilation or via…
The distant globular cluster Palomar 13 has been found to have a very high mass-to-light ratio and its profile can be well fitted either by a King model with a tail, or with a NFW model. This cluster may be the first case of the many clumps…
Little Higgs models with T parity contain an attractive dark matter candidate, the heavy photon. We compute the cross section of the heavy photon annihilation into Z-photon pairs, which turns out to be substantially higher than the…
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…
We have studied the effects on the gamma-ray flux on Earth by neutralino annihilations in caustic rings of dark matter in the Galactic halo. The caustic ring model by Sikivie has been used where dark matter particles are assumed to possess…
We calculate, using unitarity, a lower bound on the branching ratio $\chi\chi\to \gamma\gamma$ and $\chi\chi\to \gamma Z$, where $\chi$ is any halo dark matter particle that has $W^+W^-$ as one of the major annihilation modes. Examples of…
The CACTUS atmospheric Cherenkov telescope collaboration recently reported a gamma-ray excess from the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Draco features a very low gas content and a large mass-to-light ratio, suggesting as a possible…
From the relic density measurement by WMAP the WIMP annihilation cross section can be determined in a model independent way. If the WIMPS are postulated to be the neutralinos of Supersymmetry, then only a limited region of the…
Cosmological observations and cold dark matter N-body simulations indicate that our Universe is populated by numerous halos, where dark matter particles annihilate, potentially producing Standard Model particles. In this paper we calculate…
We calculate the cosmic ray spectrum of ultra high energy neutralinos that one should expect provided that the observed ultra high energy cosmic rays are produced by the decay of superheavy particles X, M_X>10^{12} GeV, in supersymmetric…
We use the constraints on the diffusion parameters as obtained with stable nuclei to calculate the cosmic antiproton flux from annihilating relic neutralinos. We discuss the relevance of each characteristic parameter, describing our two…
A halo model with heavy relic neutrinos N belonging to a fourth generation and their annihilations in galactic halo may explain the recent evidence of diffused gamma (GeV) radiation around galactic plane. We considered a neutrino mass in…
High energy gamma-rays and neutrinos can be produced both by the annihilation and by the possible slow decay of dark matter particles. We discuss the fluxes and spectra of such secondaries produced by dark matter particles in the universe…
MMonochromatic neutrinos from dark matter annihilations ($\chi\chi\to \nu\bar\nu$) are always produced in association with a gamma-ray spectrum generated by electroweak bremsstrahlung. Consequently, these neutrino lines can be searched for…
Detection of gamma rays from dark matter annihilation in the galactic center is one of the feasible techniques to search for dark matter. We evaluate the gamma ray flux in the case that the dark matter has an electroweak SU(2)_L charge.…
We calculate the flux of high energy gamma-rays from annihilation of neutralino dark matter in the centre of the Milky Way and the three nearest dwarf spheroidals (Sagittarius, Draco and Canis Major), using realistic models of the dark…
Motivated by recent claims of lines in the Fermi gamma-ray spectrum, we critically examine means of enhancing neutralino annihilation into neutral gauge bosons. The signal can be boosted while remaining consistent with continuum photon…
We calculate the antiproton flux due to relic neutralino annihilations, in a two-dimensional diffusion model compatible with stable and radioactive cosmic ray nuclei. We find that the uncertainty in the primary flux induced by the…
The complete 1-loop computation of the processes $(\tchi^0_i \tchi^0_j \leftrightarrow\gamma\gamma, ~ gg)$, for any pair of the four MSSM neutralinos, has been performed for an arbitrary c.m energy. As a first application suitable for Dark…
