  2. Dark Matter and Exotic Physics Responsibilities: Search for signatures of dark matter, extradimensions (e.g. KK graviton decay), quantum gravity dispersion effects, etc. Coordinators: Elliott BloomAldo Morselli Members: 39 (Aug. 05): Eric Nuss Takashi Ohsugi Piergiorgio Picozza Frederic Piron Carlotta Pittori Silvia Rainò Luis Reyes Steve Ritz Eduardo do Couto e Silva Tadayuki Takahashi Lawrence L.

  4. SLAC, DM&NP, 30/08/05 Minutes several presentations: E.Bloom Report from the Science Coordinators meeting A.Morselli Multiwavelength need for the DM&NP Working group E.Baltz Observing Dark Matter with GLAST T.Kamae Development of the new pp inclusive cross section parameterization G.Bignami Looking for light pseudoscalar bosons in Gamma-Rays from Binary Pulsars P.Wang New Tool for generating dark matter clumps for Science Tools for slides, see Confluence page or: http://people.roma2.infn.it/~glast/DM_Coll_M_Aug_05/

  5. Plans for Papers • Papers in process, papers planned for the next year, paper ideas for year 1 of operations; which are proposed to be Category 1 and which are Category 2; • Currently most papers planned for pre - launch, clearly not using GLAST data, will be category II (III) papers. A number have already been published. • Search for Supersymmetric Dark Matter with GLAST A.Morselli, A.Lionetto, A.Cesarini, F.Fucito, P.Ullio, Nucl. Phy. B 122B (2003) 413-416 • The Galactic Center as a Dark Matter Gamma-Ray SourceA.Cesarini, F.Fucito, A.Lionetto, A.Morselli, P.Ullio, Astrop. Phy. 267-285 • Multifrequency analysis of neutralino dark matter annihilation in Coma cluster, S.Colafrancesco, S.Profumo, P.Ullio, Astro-ph/0507575 • Diffuse inverse Compton and synchrotron emission from dark matter annihilations in galactic satellites. T. Baltz, L. Wai, Phys.Rev. D70 (2004) 023512 • Repeat De Boer’s paper with large group of LAT collaborators. Astro-ph/0412620 v1 23 Dec 2004, “Indirect Evidence for WIMP Annihilation from Diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays” • Possible category I is extensive and careful study of DM limits from all known experiments as a precursor to launch and what kind of limits GLAST can set. • After launch during 1st year paper on DM limits set by GLAST using pre-launch paper as a guide.

  6. Plans for the near future: for the end of September : • Provide to the MultiWavelengh group the MW need of our group overlap with other groups: we will define interface persons ( that will participate to other groups ) and they will notify news from that groups. We need interface persons at least for : Diffuse (Galactic & Extragalactic) and Molecular Clouds Larry Way Unidentified Sources, Population Studies, and Other Galaxies TBD Gamma-Ray Bursts Nicola Giglietto Catalogs TBD • Checkout 3: "test WIMP clump" at high latitude (1month "practice" data including 3rd egret catalog, diffuse, etc.)
