Indirect dark matter searches with H.E.S.S

Understand

The annihilations of WIMPs produce high energy gamma-rays in the final state.

• These high energy gamma-rays may be detected by IACTs such as the H.E.S.S.
• array of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes.
• Besides the popular targets such as the Galactic Center or galaxy clusters such as VIRGO, dwarf spheroidal galaxies are privileged targets for Dark Matter annihilation signal searches.
