1. 1. Dark Matter searches targeting Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

   Författare :Maja Garde Lindholm; Jan Conrad; Alexander L. Read; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark matter; Fermi-LAT; dwarf spheroidal galaxies; fysik; Physics;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis I present our recent work on gamma-ray searches for dark matter with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT). We have targeted dwarf spheroidal galaxies since they are very dark matter dominated systems, and we have developed a novel joint likelihood method to combine the observations of a set of targets.

3. 2. Observations of nearby Galaxy Clusters with the Fermi Large Area Telescope : Towards the first Gamma Rays from Clusters

   Författare :Stephan Zimmer; Jan Conrad; Lars Bergström; Torsten Enßlin; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Galaxy Clusters; Fermi-LAT; γ rays; Dark Matter; Cosmic Rays; fysik; Physics;

   Sammanfattning : Galaxy clusters are the most massive bound systems known in the Universe and are believed to have formed through large scale structure formation. They host relativistic cosmic-ray (CR) populations and are gravitationally bound by large amounts of Dark Matter (DM), both providing conditions in which high-energy gamma rays may be produced either via CR interactions with the intracluster medium or through the annihilation or decay of DM particles.

4. 3. 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. 4. Search for Gamma-ray Lines from Dark Matter with the Fermi Large Area Telescope

   Författare :Tomi Ylinen; Mark Pearce; Jan Conrad; Staffan Carius; James T. Linnemann; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fermi; Large Area Telescope; gamma-rays; dark matter; spectral lines; beam test; Physics; Fysik; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik;

   Sammanfattning : Dark matter (DM) constitutes one of the most intriguing but so far unresolved issues in physics. In many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, the existence of a stable Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) is predicted. The WIMP is an excellent DM particle candidate.

7. 5. Cosmological Dark Matter and the Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background : Measurements and Upper Limits

   Författare :Alexander Sellerholm; Jan Conrad; Karl Mannheim; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark matter theory; dark matter simulations; dark matter experiments; isotropic gamma-ray background; Fermi gamma-ray space telescope; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses the isotropic diffuse gamma-ray background, as measured by the Fermi gamma ray space telescope, and its implications for indirect detection of dark matter. We describe the measurement of the isotropic background, including also an alternative analysis method besides the one published by the Fermi-LAT collaboration. LÄS MER
