摘要: The launch of the gamma-ray telescope Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) started a pivotal period in indirect detection dark matter. By outperforming expectations, for first time robust and stringent test paradigm weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) is within reach. In this paper, we discuss astrophysical targets WIMP challenges they present, review analysis tools which have been employed to tackle these challenges, summarize status constraints on claimed detections parameter space. Methods results will be discussed comparison Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes. We also provide an outlook short term longer developments.
