  • The National Institute for Astrophysics wins the European competition: the board of the project has decided that the headquarters of the international organization leading one of the most prestigious infrastructure of modern physics will be located in Italy. The permanent headquarters of the CTA (Cherenkov Telescope Array) project will be located in Bologna, near a few of the most prestigious INAF regional offices, in an area where the University of Bologna is implementing structural growth ...

  • 《Gamma-ray triangles: a possible signature of asymmetric dark matter in indirect searches》

    • We introduce a new type of gamma-ray spectral feature, which we denominate gamma-ray triangle. This spectral feature arises in scenarios where dark matter self-annihilates via a chiral interaction into two Dirac fermions, which subsequently decay in flight into another fermion and a photon. The resulting photon spectrum resembles a sharp triangle and can be readily searched for in the gamma-ray sky. Using data from the Fermi-LAT and H.E.S.S. instruments, we find no evidence for such spectral feature and therefore set strong upper bounds on the corresponding annihilation cross section. A concrete realisation of a scenario yielding gamma-ray triangles consists of an asymmetric dark matter model where the dark matter particle carries lepton number. We show explicitly that this class of models can lead to intense gamma-ray spectral features, potentially at the reach of upcoming gamma-ray telescopes, opening a new window to explore asymmetric dark matter through indirect searches.

    • View of two-thirds of the entire sky with very-high-energy gamma rays observed by HAWC. Many sources are clearly visible in our own Milky Way galaxy, as well as two other galaxies: Markarian 421 and Markarian 501. Some well-known constellations are shown as a reference. The center of the Milky Way is located toward Sagittarius. Credit: HAWC Collaboration The United States and Mexico constructed the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-ray Observatory to observe some of the most ene...
