‘‘StandardStandard’’ Origins Origins of of VHE-!

VHE photons do have non-thermic origin(s)

distinguish hadronic vs.leptonic ‘acceleration’: => shape of spectrum; Multi-wavelength

Some important processes to produce VHE !:

q-jets produce much more !, but " result in higher energy !


Where to look for CDM ?

Galactic Center expected to be best candidate

Measurement from HESS, confirmed by MAGICproof VHE dominated by unknown other source

color:MAGIC

white: HESSgreen: VLA 20cm


GC: bright; not accessible by MAGIC; strong foreground signalall other potential ‘classical’ sources: ~100 less DM signal

Andromeda/Virgo: prob.additional foreground signal (like GC) Minihalos: no idea where to point at (need scanning)

J. Buckley,2007


Dwarf Galaxies (DRACO)

predicted cross-sect.for possible SUSYparameters

line: 50h MAGIC==>need looong time

boosting the flux by‘clumpy’ substructuresby factor <10? >1000?

corecore oror cusp cusp (0.1(0.1oo))

m0 < 2TeV

m0 > 2TeV

m0 > 2TeV rescaled for

relic density


Other Idea

Instead of observing known candidates,go for the dark...

CDM clumps could have high VHE flux,but very dim/invisible at long wavelengths(e.g. IMBH [Bertone et al. 2005])

e.g. unidentified EGRET sources with hardspectrum could be good candidates...(and soon unidentified AGILE & GLAST sources)


GLAST MAGICGLAST MAGICAGILE AGILE H.E.S.S.,H.E.S.S., VERITASVERITAS

Satellites measure position and spectrumin GeV range,

Telescopes search for cutoff energy

find several sources, universal spectrum = smoking gun ?!?

Goal: factor ~10 sensitivity extended Energy range==> HESS/MAGIC combined working groups

100GeV--10TeV:‘just build more telescopes’(must reduce price/telescope)

extended Energy:need some R&D ...


CTA Physics‘Guaranteed’ Physics in 100GeV-10TeV domain: - ~1000 galactic sources (SNR, Plerions, Binaries, ...) - many AGNs - surprises ....

+ Cosmology and Fundamental Questions: Pop-III stars, Cold Dark Matter, Quantum Gravity, ...

+ chemical composition of charged CR (up to knee ???)

HESS/MAGIC/VERITAS: run as Experiment/Collaboration private data, collab. publications

CTA: run as Observatory: guest observers (+core program) data become public domain ???!!!???


CTA fits into Future Multi-Wavelengthand Multi-Messenger Environment

APPEC: high priority project on ‘preliminary road map’ESFRI: promising ‘emerging project’ (not yet on roadmap)

FP7: - LoI in preparation - first public meeting 1.&2. March 2007 in Paris (several MAGIC/HESS meetings since Feb. 2006) >300 physicists claimed interest to contribute http://www.mpi-hd.mpg.de/hfm/CTA - request for FP7 design study submitted (May 2)

comparable study/project exists also in the US: ‘AGIS’
