Gamma-ray flux from WIMP annihilation: Indirect Dark Matter search Astrophysics : Dark matter halo Particle Physics From Observation
Target of indirect search • Galactic Halo • external galaxies • galaxy clusters • substructures • Galactic Center(GC) • Local Group galaxies • Mini-spikes around IMBH
Indirect DM search—ground based observatory IACT arrays Advantage: Good angular resolution; gamma/hadron discrimination Disadvantage: limited FOV and duty cycle Advantage: large FOV, 90% duty cycle Disadvantage: no good gamma/hadron identifintification EAS arrays
