Dark Matter Indirect Searches

Talk

The construction of the IceCube neutrino observatory is practically terminated. With 79 strings taking data out of the 86 foreseen, we are one deployment season away from completion. The detector, however, has been taking data since 2006 in different partial configurations. We have evaluated these data for evidence of dark matter annihilations in the Sun, in the Galactic Center and in...

Dark Matter Indirect Searches

Talk

The ANTARES Collaboration is now operating the largest water Cherenkov neutrino telescope in the Nothern hemisphere. The apparatus, completed in May 2008, comprises 12 detection lines and a multidisciplinary instrumentation line installed at a depth of about 2500 m in the Mediterranean Sea offshore from France. The goals of ANTARES are among others the search for astrophysical neutrino...

142. Constraining neutrinos masses in the PLANCK era

Talk

Particle Physics teaches us that neutrinos do have a mass and therefore contribute to the matter energy budget in the universe. After reviewing by which mechanisms cosmology constrain the fraction of HDM, I will review the current bounds and extrapolate the results to the soon-to-come PLANCK data. In particular I will show how CMB lensing reconstruction can be performed for the first time with...
