从衰变暗物质中探测Gamma-Ray各向异性:费米LAT的前景

Detecting Gamma-Ray Anisotropies from Decaying Dark Matter: Prospects for Fermi LAT

Alejandro Ibarra, David Tran, Christoph Weniger

摘要:

衰变的暗物质粒子可以被间接探测到,因为在弥漫的河外伽马射线背景的能谱中,它超过了简单的幂律。此外,由于地球不是位于银河系暗物质晕的中心,从暗物质衰变的扩散伽马射线通量的外来贡献预计是各向异性的,提供了一个补充的方法,间接寻找衰变的暗物质粒子。在本文中,我们详细讨论了预期的偶极类各向异性的暗物质信号,也考虑到辐射的逆康普顿散射的电子和正电子从暗物质衰变。伽马射线通量各向异性的另一个来源是宇宙尺度上的暗物质密度波动。我们计算了相应的角功率谱的伽玛射线通量和评论的观测前景。最后,我们计算预期的各向异性的衰减暗物质的情况下,可以重现电子/正电子过剩的PAMELA和费米LAT报告,我们估计在不久的将来检测预测的伽马射线各向异性的前景。

英文摘要:

Decaying dark matter particles could be indirectly detected as an excess over a simple power law in the energy spectrum of the diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background. Furthermore, since the Earth is not located at the center of the Galactic dark matter halo, the exotic contribution from dark matter decay to the diffuse gamma-ray flux is expected to be anisotropic, offering a complementary method for the indirect search for decaying dark matter particles. In this paper we discuss in detail the expected dipole-like anisotropies in the dark matter signal, taking also into account the radiation from inverse Compton scattering of electrons and positrons from dark matter decay. A different source for anisotropies in the gamma-ray flux are the dark matter density fluctuations on cosmic scales. We calculate the corresponding angular power spectrum of the gamma-ray flux and comment on observational prospects. Finally, we calculate the expected anisotropies for the decaying dark matter scenarios that can reproduce the electron/positron excesses reported by PAMELA and the Fermi LAT, and we estimate the prospects for detecting the predicted gamma-ray anisotropy in the near future.
