Seeking dark matter with $\gamma$-ray attenuation

Bernal, José Luis, Caputo, Andrea, Sato-Polito, Gabriela et al.

Understand

The flux of high-energy astrophysical $\gamma$ rays is attenuated by the production of electron-positron pairs from scattering off of extragalactic background light (EBL).

We use the most up-to-date information on galaxy populations to compute their contributions to the pair-production optical depth.
We find that the optical depth inferred from $\gamma$-ray measurements exceeds that expected from galaxies at the $\sim2\sigma$ level.
If the excess is modeled as a frequency-independent re-scaling of the standard contribution to the EBL from galaxies, then an excess (an overall $14-30\%$ increase of the EBL) over the null hypothesis of no excess at the $2.7\sigma$ level.
