Indirect Search for Dark Matter from the center of the Milky Way with the Fermi-Large Area Telescope

Understand

The Galactic Center region is expected to host the largest density of Dark Matter (DM) particles within the Milky Way.

• Then a relatively large gamma-ray signal would be expected from the possible DM particles annihilation (or decay).
• We are searching for the DM gamma-ray signal from the Galactic Center, which is also rich in bright discrete gamma-ray sources.
• Furthermore intense diffuse gamma-ray emission due to cosmic-ray interactions with interstellar gas and radiation is detected from the same direction.
