Description
According to the Lambda Cold Dark Matter paradigm, the dark matter halos
today were formed through successive mergers of smaller mass halos. Part
of these merging halos survived without being disrupted in the merging
event, and form the structure of galaxies and clusters today.
We implement different models describing the properties of a population of
substructures inside the Milky Way as well as at cosmological distances,
based on recent N-body simulation, and we derive expected all-sky
gamma-ray maps and sensitivity predictions for the Fermi satellite.
We then present our method to obtain multi-wavelength and multi-messenger
constraints to particle physics models proposed to explain the dark matter puzzle.
We show that combining the information derived from photons and antimatter
is a powerful tool to test the reliability of any given model.
