Planned Dark Matter Searches with the Magic Telescope
The MAGIC 17m-diameter Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) has been commissioned beginning of 2005. The telescope has been designed to achieve the lower detection energy threshold ever obtained with an IACT, about 50 GeV. A new window in γ-ray astronomy is being opened with great impact for exciting new physics and new discoveries. Among the targets of MAGIC is the indirect detection of Dark...
متن کاملIndirect searches for SUSY Dark Matter with the MAGIC Cherenkov Telescope
Neutralinos are the natural well-motivated candidates to provide the non-baryonic dark matter of the universe which may produce detectable signals through their annihilation into neutrinos, photons or positrons. Due to its high flux sensitivity and low energy threshold, the MAGIC Cherenkov telescope could potentially detect the neutralino annihilation high energy photon products. In the framewo...
متن کاملDark Matter: the Connection with Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Discovering Dark Matter particles with astrophysical observations
We review the status of indirect Dark Matter searches, focusing in particular on the connection with gamma-ray Astrophysics, and on the prospects for detection with the upcoming space telescope GLAST and Air Cherenkov Telescopes such as CANGAROO, HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS. After a brief introduction where we review the fundamental motivations for indirect searches, we tackle the question of wheth...
متن کاملMAGIC and the Search for Signatures of Supersymmetric Dark Matter
The 17m Imaging Air shower Cherenkov Telescope MAGIC (Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma, Canary Islands) has recently entered its commissioning phase. One of the main goals of the MAGIC telescope project is to provide an unprecedented sensitivity for the detection of gamma rays with energies as low as 30 GeV. A dedicated search for the gamma rays expected to be produced by WIMP annih...
متن کاملDark Matter Signals from Draco and Willman 1: Prospects for MAGIC II and CTA
The next generation of ground-based Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes will play an important role in indirect dark matter searches. In this article, we consider two particularly promising candidate sources for dark matter annihilation signals, the nearby dwarf galaxies Draco and Willman 1, and study the prospects of detecting such a signal for the soon-operating MAGIC II telescope system as well...
