7 Earth goes round Sun, Sun goes round Galaxy

8 DAMA/Libra experiment 250 kg of NaI(Ti)

10 Quenching in NaI

11 Channeled events create more electrons and bigger signal Channelling in NaI

12 DAMA/LIBRA results

15 DAMA/LIBRA interpretation

16 MF, Schwetz-Mangold, 0808.0704 DAMA/LIBRA interpretation

17 However, large tension exists with XENON-10 and CDMS data... DAMA signal therefore cannot be dark matter?

19 Non Extensive Statistics At any given time, probability of a particular delay time, t, given by Over course of a year,  varies quite a lot due to seasonal factors. Therefore, over the long term, one needs to include fluctuations in 

20 Non Extensive Statistics if  is sum over Gaussian random variables... leads to a   distribution... which yields

21 Applied to train times

23 Non Extensive Statistics of Dark Matter Distributions

25 Is such a halo conceivable? To see, we need to solve Jeans equation

28 Part 2 PAMELA, ATIC signal and interpretation

29 Resurs-DK1 satellite Mass: 6.7 tonnes Height: 7.4 m Solar array area: 36 m 2 Main task: multi-spectral remote sensing of earth’s surface Built by TsSKB Progress in Samara, Russia Lifetime >3 years (assisted) Data transmitted to ground via high-speed radio downlink PAMELA mounted inside a pressurized container

30 Positrons Secondary production ‘Leaky box model’ R. Protheroe, ApJ 254 (1982) 391. Secondary production ‘Moskalenko + Strong model’ without reacceleration. ApJ 493 (1998) 694. Primary production from  annihilation (m(  ) = 336 GeV) Secondary production ‘M+S model’ + primary  distortion PAMELA Baltz + Edsjö, Phys Rev D59 (1999) 023511. STOLEN FROM 2007 PRESENTATION BY MARK PEARCE, KTH STOCKHOLM

31 Adriani et al. 0810.4995 Discrepancy may be explained by variable solar activity. This one not!

32

33 Is it actually positrons? (0905.0444) Intensity of cosmic ray protons at 10 GeV exceeds that of positrons by 5 x 10 5

34

35 ATIC AMS PPB Chang et al. Nature 456, 362, 20 th November 2008

36 Cholis et al 0811.3641 Compatibility of the two experiments

37 Can be interpreted as Dark matter Cut-off corresponding to 620 GeV KK particle However, need large boost factors, B = ( 10, 10 2, 10 3 ) for m DM = ( 100 GeV, 1 TeV, 10 TeV) respectively

38 Branching ratio into e + e - Thermally averaged self annihilation cross section at freeze-out Thermally averaged self annihilation cross section today Expected local density (0.3 GeV cm -3 ) Actual local density Possible origins of the Boost Factor

39 Problems with diffusion equations? Diffusion term = f(r)?, f  f(E)? Energy loss term = f(r)?, f  f(E)? Energy injection term = f(r)?, f  f(E)?

43 Probes of GUT scale physics Lower Limit on dark matter lifetime

44 Probes of GUT scale physics Avanitaki et al. arXiv:08122075.

45 Probes of GUT scale physics What a fit!until Monday...

46 New H.E.S.S. data 0905.0105

47 New Fermi Data 0905.0025

49 Astrophysical origin of electrons/positrons 10 GeV – 10 TeV SNR - Secondary Pulsars - Primary Where are we now?

50 high energy electron/positron flux > 10 GeV still anomalously large Can fit FERMI by assuming local increase in SNR, but not PAMELA Grasso et al. 0905.0636

51 FERMI and PAMELA can be simultaneously fitted with local pulsars Grasso et al. 0905.0636

52 Where are we now with dark matter interpretations? Spectral shape well fitted by dark matter annihilating into muons required self annihilation cross section ~ 1000 times larger than expected need to avoid annihilations into hadrons (no anomalous antiproton signal) No feature at 600-900 GeV a la ATIC

53 If you accept these prerequisites, Fermi, HESS and PAMELA data can be fit by dark matter also...

54 Branching ratio into e + e - Thermally averaged self annihilation cross section at freeze-out Thermally averaged self annihilation cross section today Expected local density (0.3 GeV cm -3 ) Actual local density Possible origins of the Boost Factor

55 Sommerfeld Enhancement S-channel annihilations P-channel annihilations Need something else to enhance the cross section. If Then dark matter particles are pulled together by exchange of W,Z bosons, enhancing annihilation by

56 Sommerfeld Enhancement ATIC data suggested DM particle of 500-800 GeV, W, Z no good. Instead, consider much lighter GeV boson, weakly coupled (Arkani-Hamed & Weiner 0810.0713) Also DM annihilates through boson – muon final states! However, since cross section goes like 1/v, forms problems for first structures formed (Kamionkowski and Profumo)

57 CDF Halloween Particle ? 0810.5357 DATA MONTE CARLO

58 Two component dark matter MF and Zupan 0810.4147 First component is the dark matter today. Second component decays into first. AAAAAAAAA

59 Two component dark matter

60 Conclusions DAMA/LIBRA data shows annual modulation Interpretation of that as dark matter contradicts with XENON/CDMS Can reconcile the two with non-standard density profiles Both PAMELA and FERMI show new population of electrons Dark matter is possible explanation Requires large boost factor and leptophilic decays Can also be explained by astrophysics Difficult confused future for this discovery channel for ordinary WIMPs PART 1 PART 2
