Abstract: Cosmological observations have provided us with answers to age-old questions, involving the age, geometry, and composition of the universe. However, there are profound questions that still remain unanswered. I will describe ongoing efforts to shed light on some of …
Abstract: I will discuss analyses leading to two recent candidate detections of photons from dark matter. Specifically, these are: first, gamma rays in a continuum "bump" at a few GeV which can be due to WIMP-like dark matter annihilation in …
ABSTRACT: Elucidating the nature of dark matter is one of the central challenges in fundamental physics. Dark matter originating as a thermal relic from the early Universe is arguably one of the most compelling paradigm, and WIMP searches have been …
