Understand

TeV-scale particles that couple to the standard model through the weak force represent a compelling class of dark matter candidates.

The search for such Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) has already spanned multiple decades, and whilst it has yet to provide any definitive evidence for their existence, viable parameter space remains.
In this paper, we show that the upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) has significant sensitivity to uncharted parameter space at the TeV mass scale.
To do so, we focus on two prototypical dark matter candidates, the Wino and Higgsino.
