Searching for dark matter in the γ-ray sky.
I'm a physicist whose recent work — within the MAGIC Collaboration — focused on Bayesian modelling of dark matter density profiles, J-factor computations and statistical analyses for indirect detection with IACTs.
Abstract
The nature of dark matter remains one of the most pressing questions in fundamental physics. If the dark sector couples to the Standard Model, self-annihilation in dense astrophysical regions should produce a flux of very-high-energy γ-rays observable from the ground.
My work develops a hierarchical Bayesian framework for the mass distribution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies, propagating the resulting uncertainties into the J-factor and, ultimately, into limits on ⟨σv⟩ derived from MAGIC observations.
