Correlations to GRB
Background cuts can be loosened considerably ?
high signal efficiency
88 BATSE bursts in 1997
Combined data give sensitivity prediction!
36
Marriage of Astronomy and Physics
  • Astronomy new window on the Universe!
  • You can see a lot by
    looking
  • Physics
  • search for dark matter
  • search for topological defects and cosmological
    remnants
  • search for monopoles
  • measure the high-energy neutrino cross section
  • (TeV-scale gravity?)
  • cosmic ray physics 150 atmospheric nus/day
  • array with EeV sensitivity
  • test special and general relativity with new
    precision

37
Relic density simple approach
  • Decoupling occurs when
  • G lt H
  • We have

The MSSM general
  • The Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP)
  • Usually the neutralino. If R-parity is
    conserved, it is stable.
  • The Neutralino c
  • Gaugino fraction
  • 1. Select MSSM parameters
  • 2. Calculate masses, etc
  • 3. Check accelerator constraints
  • 4. Calculate relic density
  • 5. 0.05 lt Wch2 lt 0.5 ?
  • 6. Calculate fluxes, rates,...

WIMP search strategies
  • Direct detection
  • Indirect detection neutrinos from the
    Earth/Sun antiprotons from the galactic
    halo positrons from the galactic halo gamma
    rays from the galactic halo gamma rays from
    external galaxies/halos synchrotron radiation
    from the galactic center / galaxy clusters ...
