Short term activities for the collaboration : > Data Challenge 2 : March->May 2006 > Beam tests at CERN in summer/autumn 2006 GLAST mission status October 2005 : 16 Tower on the LAT November 2005 ACD on the LAT

7 SM in D = 5 with 1 compactified extra-dimension (over S 1 / ℤ 2 with S 1 radius R) Every SM field (bulk field) possess a KK tower 1-loop level computation shows that the LKP is well approximated by the first KK mode of the hypercharge gauge boson B(1) a a Reference papers: Servant, Tait Nucl.Phys.B650:391- 419,2003, Bergstrom et al. Phys.Rev.Lett.94:131301,2005 Kaluza-Klein Dark Matter in (minimal) UED II

8 WMAP results  CDM h 2 = 0.12 ± 0.02 ⇩ ~ 0.5 TeV ≤ m B(1) ≤ ~ 1 TeV (depending on the coannihilation channels) One loop  -chanels are avaible in minimal UED models as through but are out of reach for GLAST due to m B(1) ≥ ~0.5 TeV constraint. Limit from Relic Density

9 B(1) main annihilation channels Unlike the supersymmetric case, charged lepton production is not helicity suppressed and it is the dominant annihilation channel for masses ≤ 0.5 TeV. We assume the branching ratios computed in Servant, Tait (agree with Bergstrom et al) Charged fermion production : Dominant annihilation channel

10 We assume a NFW profile with a boost factor b, centered at Galactic Center The differential  -ray flux from the GC is NB:J(  ) = 0.13 · 10 5 b for  = 10 -5 sr and  tot v ~3 · 10 -26 cm 3 s -1 for 800 GeV KK DM Continuum Gamma Ray Flux

11 Total number of photons per B (1) B (1) annihilation where the sum is over all processes that contribute to primary and secondary gamma rays with B f the corresponding branching ratio. In the following analysis we have considered both the primary and secondary  -ray production Gamma Rays from LKP

12 Hadronization and/or fragmentation of q-qbar final states We include semihadronic decays of  leptons (fairly hard spectrum) Fornengo et al Phys.Rev.D70:103529,2004 ⇩ parametrization of dN  q  /dE for a center of mass energy ~ 1 TeV. We neglect gauge and Higgs bosons final states. Secondary Contribution

13 Flux from Secondary Contribution Different approximations - Tasitsiomi, Olinto Phys.Rev.D66:083006,2002 - DarkSUSY - Fornengo et al Phys.Rev.D70:103529,20 Very good agreement between the two approxiamations (for mSUGRA) our results are for m B(1) = 0.5, 0.8, 1 TeV

14 Total flux contribution from LKP of m B(1) = 0.8 TeV and with a boost factor b = 200 Gamma Ray Flux Contributions

15 Comparison between different spectral shapes primary and secondary contribution mSUGRA and E -2 spectra vs LKP Spectral Shapes

16 > Whole sky 'realistic' simulation (DC2 IRF) > One Year observations, 30 deg radius FOV Galactic Center centered GLAST simulations Dark Matter NFW profile, m B(1) ~ 500 GeV Diffuse background based on GALPROP code (Point source substracted)

17 We simulated a 1 year map of the sky with a NFW profile for a LKP with m B(1) = 500 GeV For E thrs = 5 GeV and  = 0.84 sr (30 deg radius FOV) the total integrated flux leads to 5  significance ⇒ for NFW profile and 500 GeV LKP leads to a boost factor of ~20 is needed to reach the 5 sensitivity Preliminary GLAST Sensitivity

18 >Our (preliminary) computation indicates that, in the energy range E  > 5 GeV, GLAST could detect  -rays from GC via LKP annihilations with moderate boost factors >Connection with ground based Cherenkov arrays (continuum and gamma ray lines) is needed to disantangle KK signal from standard astrophysical signal (~ E -2 spectra) >But this result strongly depends on the background model (need of a precise estimate) >Major conference, first GLAST Symposium, being planned for February 2007 at Stanford. International Organizing Committee formed. > GLAST is planned to be launched in 2007 from the Kennedy Space Center… Conclusions II I Delta 2920 vehicle
