ECAP Seminar: Elisa Pueschel

January 23 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Dark Matter Searches with VERITAS and Dark100

Indirect dark matter searches are an important piece of the search for dark matter. One indirect search method is to use very-high-energy (E > 100 GeV) gamma rays as a probe of dark matter annihilation or decay in dark-matter-rich astrophysical systems. Gamma rays in this energy range can be used to search for both classical TeV-scale weakly interacting particles and for ultra-heavy dark matter particles predicted in e.g. models of composite dark matter. I will describe efforts to chase light from dark matter using ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes, including the current generation VERITAS instrument and the upcoming Dark100 array.
