Contributed talk Tuesday afternoon

Speaker

Mr Miguel Méndez-Isla (University of Cape Town)

Description

If dark matter particles annihilate, then we should detect signals of this annihilation in the sky. In this talk we will focus on the contribution of particle dark matter in the injection of cosmic rays in dwarf spheroidals and the synchrotron emission from secondary processes. We also study the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) sensitivity in the detection of dark matter candidates that would fit the AMS positron fraction and the gamma-ray signal from HESS J1745-290 .
