1. 6. Searches for Particle Dark Matter : Dark stars, dark galaxies, dark halos and global supersymmetric fits

   Författare :Pat Scott; Joakim Edsjö; Lars Bergström; Jan Conrad; Dan Hooper; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark matter; supersymmetry; gamma rays; dwarf galaxies; stellar evolution; cosmological perturbations; phase transitions; statistical techniques; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik; Cosmology; Kosmologi; Elementary particle physics; Elementarpartikelfysik; Computational physics; Beräkningsfysik; Formation and development of stars; Stjärnors bildning och utveckling; High energy astrophysics; Högenergiastrofysik; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

   Sammanfattning : The identity of dark matter is one of the key outstanding problems in both particle and astrophysics. In this thesis, I describe a number of complementary searches for particle dark matter. LÄS MER

3. 7. Gamma-Ray Emission from Galaxy Clusters : DARK MATTER AND COSMIC-RAYS

   Författare :Anders Pinzke; Lars Bergström; Olaf Reimer; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galaxy clusters; gamma-rays; cosmic-rays; dark matter; High energy astrophysics; Högenergiastrofysik; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

   Sammanfattning : The quest for the first detection of a galaxy cluster in the high energy gamma-ray regime is ongoing, and even though clusters are observed in several other wave-bands, there is still no firm detection in gamma-rays. To complement the observational efforts we estimate the gamma-ray contributions from both annihilating dark matter and cosmic-ray (CR) proton as well as CR electron induced emission. LÄS MER

4. 8. Searching for Gamma Rays from Galaxy Clusters with the Fermi Large Area Telescope : Cosmic Rays and Dark Matter

   Författare :Stephan Zimmer; Jan Conrad; Christophe Clement; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; galaxy clusters; gamma rays; cosmic rays; dark matter; fermi-lat; likelihood analysis; joint likelihood;

   Sammanfattning : In this licentiate thesis, I report a search for GeV γ rays towards the location of Galaxy clusters. I mainly discuss the results of a search for cosmic-ray (CR) induced γ-ray emission but also briefly elaborate on a related study, searching for Dark Matter (DM)-induced γ-ray emission from Galaxy clusters.

5. 9. Dark Matter in the Solar System, Galaxy, and Beyond

   Författare :Axel Widmark; Jens Jasche; Malcolm Fairbairn; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark matter: phenomenology; dark matter: indirect detection; dark matter: particle nature; Galactic dynamics; Galactic composition; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

   Sammanfattning : There is evidence that dark matter constitutes a majority of the Universe's matter content. Yet, we are ignorant about its nature. Understanding dark matter requires new physics, possibly in the form of a new species of fundamental particles. LÄS MER

7. 10. Dark matter in and around stars

   Författare :Sofia Sivertsson; Tommy Ohlsson; Steen Hansen; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark matter; early universe; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik;

   Sammanfattning : There is by now compelling evidence that most of the matter in the universe is in the form of dark matter, a form of matter quite different from the matter we experience in every day life. The gravitational effects of this dark matter have been observed in many different ways but its true nature is still unknown. LÄS MER
