7 Brian L. Winer, Ohio State University Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope CCAPP DM Workshop Page 7 Galactic Center l Advantage: Largest Source of DM Photons l Problems:  Astrophysical Sources  CR Accelarators  High Energy Gamma Sources  Behavior at Fermi Energies?? l Initial Sensitivity Estimation  ROI = 0.5 deg of GC, E > 1 GeV  Truncated NFW Profile.  Simulate Particle-yield (DarkSUSY)  Background:  Astrophysical Sources Subtracted  GALPROP Represents Diffuse Background  Simulate Detector Response. Consider Annihilations: (Done Individually)

8 Brian L. Winer, Ohio State University Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope CCAPP DM Workshop Page 8 Dark Matter From the Galactic Center Simple for Test Statistic. (More sophisticated TS under study) - similar - WW less sensitivity - more sensitive. Current Efforts:  Optimize ROI (Plot)  Understand Source Removal  Need data.  Optimize TS. 5 Years of Sky-Survey

SYSTEMATICS ! For cases where we observer a signal at 5, we can determine our mass resolution. Error bars represent the 68% CI

18 Brian L. Winer, Ohio State University Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope CCAPP DM Workshop Page 18 Search for Sub-halos l In CDM Paradigm, expect MW to contain potentially large number of sub-halos. l Sensitivity:  Assumes Taylor&Babul (05) Distribution  Sub-halo with Truncated NFW Profile  M WIMP =100 GeV   Annihilation  Background: Extragalactic, Galactic Diffuse (GALPROP)  Search for M sub >10 6 M O  Test Statistic:.
