Title: Search for WIMP dark matter with the Fermi LAT
Date: Friday, March 14th, 2014
Time: 11:30
Venue: Villa Bazzoni
***********************************************************
Abstract High energy gamma-rays are one of the most promising ways to constrain or reveal the nature of dark matter. After five years of the Fermi LAT mission, indirect constraints on the dark matter cross section to various particle channels are moving well into the theoretically motivated region of the parameter space. I will present an overview of the recent Fermi LAT dark matter and relevant astrophysical results and comment on the prospects for the near term improvements.
