Outline 1. Dark matter & the gamma-ray sky 2. The GeV excess characterisation: spectral and morphological properties 3. The GeV excess interpretations: not only dark matter… Francesca Calore - University of Amsterdam ETDM2015 1

Gamma rays from the sky Ground- and space-based telescopes represent γ interplaying and complementary instruments. Fermi-LAT HESS AGILE MAGIC AMS-02 VERITAS Gamma-400 CTA … … Francesca Calore - University of Amsterdam ETDM2015 2

Gamma rays from the sky DM Gamma rays are produced also by DM annihilation in the halo of ?? our Galaxy and in external DM galaxies. γ Indirect searches for DM annihilation or decay products in gamma rays and charged cosmic rays. Other complementary probes: Direct detection Collider searches searches Weakly Interacting Massive � Particles Francesca Calore - University of Amsterdam ETDM2015 3

The “Galactic center” GeV excess Data Claims for an extended emission of gamma rays at the Galactic center , in the inner few degrees.

The “Inner Galaxy” GeV excess Claims for an extended emission of gamma rays in the “ Inner Galaxy ”, extension up to tens of degrees. � • Latitude variation of the Fermi bubbles spectrum. • Possible extended counterpart (up to 2-3 kpc) of the Galactic Center excess. • Non-Inverse Compton origin. • Compatible with the signal from DM annihilation into tau+tau- for a DM mass of about 10 GeV.

An excess above what? The excess emission is defined above the astrophysical foregrounds and backgrounds , namely the Galactic diffuse emission, point sources and extended sources, modelled in the data analysis. Most previous analyses : Galactic diffuse emission models from the Fermi Collab. with caveats! Francesca Calore - University of Amsterdam ETDM2015 17
