  10. mSUSY Dark matter Search:Neutralino-antiNeutralino annihilation Integrate annihilation cross sections to predict gamma ray energy spectrum over Dark Matter Galactic Halo density/velocity profiles But: Galactic Halo density profile for r<1kpc mostly based upon N-body simulations -> Only see strong signal if cusp in DM profile ->large variations in predicted GeV/TeV gamma ray production rate ->Galactic Mergers may reduce/eliminate cusps -> Cusps may also form in Galactic Halo?

  11. Variations in central Cusp with recent mergers

  14. N-body simulations of DM Cusp formation in Halo • DM cusps form in Halo as well as Galactic Center • Cups region may persist & be dark (except for DM annhilation) • High Galactic Latitudes may be easier to observe DM annhilation than GC • Need unbiased all-sky survey with large detection area (>104 m2) to detect. • Unable to use optical, radio surveys to predict source regions Dieand,Kuhlen & Madan2006

  18. 30° 0° 359° 330° Classes of Objects / Counterparts At least 3 objects in the scan with no counterpart. SNR PWN X-ray binary As for  TeV J2032-4130 by HEGRA  HESS J1303-631 unknown

  19. New Unidentified HESS Objects: • In the Galactic Plane • Extended (Diffuse) emission • Are there More Sources at High Galactic Latitudes?

  20. TeV J2032+4130: Recent 50 ks Chandra obs. reveals no compelling counterpart (Butt et al. astro-ph/0509191) Dark accelerators? • HESS J1303-631: Chandra, XMM) reveal no obvious counterpart. • GRB remnant ?? (Atoyan, Buckley & Krawcynski astro-ph/0509615) -TeV flux  huge E budget, yet no synchrotron… relativistic shock accel. of p+  not a single power law. Mukherjee & Halpern astro-ph/0505081€ ~ 1 extent of HESS source. Archival ROSAT image, plus new Chandra image FOV (squares). Several pulsars - but none with sufficient spin-down flux for powering detectable TeV emission from a PWN.

  21. Microquasar Detected! LS 5039 ~1.4% Crab (>100 GeV) The only point-like source in the HESS Galactic Plan scan.

  23. Next Generation Observations Horan & Weeks 2003

  24. Next Generation Observations • All-sky GeV/TeV survey with good sensitivity/ large area • Deep follow-up with high angular resolution/energy resolution • Ability to map large scale, diffuse structures • Lower energy threshold/faster response times for GRBs

  25. MILAGRO Particle Detector Energy Range: 0.1-100 TeV Angular resolution: 0.50 Energy Resolution: 50-100% Field of View: > 3 sr Detection Area: >104 m2 On-time efficiency : >90% $3 M US GLAST Direct -ray detection Energy Range: 0.1-100 GeV Angular resolution: 0.1-30 Energy Resolution: 10% Field of View: 2.4 sr Detection Area: 1 m2 On-time efficiency : > 90% $>100 M US VERITAS/HESS Cherenkov Light Detector Energy Range: 50 GeV-50 TeV Angular resolution: 0.050 Energy Resolution: 10% Field of View: 0.003 sr Detection Area: >104 m2 On-time efficiency : 10% $12 M US GeV/TeV Observation Techniques

  26. Energy Ranges • Inaccessible to Particle detectors • Cherenkov: low Cherenkv light density ->20-30 m diameter mirrors, high altitude? • Satellite: only a few photons: difficult spectra • Particle detectors ok • Cherenkov: 10 m diameter mirrors; low gamma ray rate, 1 km2 array , larger f.o.v. • Satellite: very few photons: no spectra • Particle detectors good • Cherenkov: 6 m diameter mirrors, very low gamma ray flux->>km2 array, large f.o.v • Satellite: too small

  27. HAWC Particle detector $40 M US Wide FOV >90% on time All-sky survey at 10 mCrab/year Moderate angular/energy resolution Major IACT Array $~100 M US narrow FOV 10% on time <1 mCrab point source/50 hours High angular/energy resolution 30 + IACT telescopes? Future -Ray Roadmap (2010+)

  28. Array layout: 2-3 Zones High-energy section ~0.05% area coverage Medium-energy section ~1% area coverage Low-energy section ~10% area coverage FoV increasing to 8-10 degr. in outer sections 70 m 250 m few 1000 m Eth ~ 10-20 GeV Eth ~ 50-100 GeV Eth ~ 1-2 TeV

  29. Option: Mix of telescope types Not to scale !

  30. Point Source Sensitivity of CTA GLAST Crab W. Hofmann CTA Talk (2006) 10% Crab MAGIC 20 wide-angle 10 m telescopes de la Calle Perez, Biller, astro-ph 0602284 30 m stereo telescopes Konopelko Astropart.Phys. 24 (2005) 191 H.E.S.S. Current Simulations 1% Crab

  31. High Density Camera Stack-Up Need a to develop versitile, reliable, cheap camera/readout in Order for IACT array to be feasible.

  32. Analog Ring Sampler (ARS) • Samples PMT signal at 1 GHz • 128 samples ring buffer • Serves to delay signal until trigger decision • High/low gain channels for large dynamic range (> 2000 pe) • Multiplexed ADC to digitize signal; • FPGA • Controls conversion and readout • Optionally sums signals over readout window (16 ns) Photonis PMT XP 2960 8 Dynodes Gain ~2 x 105 Parallel bus for readout, token-passing scheme • Active base • DC-DC converter 0-1500 V • Last 4 dynodes active • HV & current readout • Current limit

  33. Particle Detector Layout HAWC: 5625 or 11250 PMTs (75x75x(1 or 2)) Single layer at 4m depth or 2 layers at Milagro depths Instrumented Area: 90,000m2 PMT spacing: 4.0m Shallow Area: 90,000m2 Deep Area: 90,000m2 miniHAWC: 841 PMTs (29x29) 5.0m spacing Single layer with 4m depth Instrumented Area: 22,500m2 PMT spacing: 5.0m Shallow Area: 22,500m2 Deep Area: 22,500m2 Milagro: 450 PMT (25x18) shallow (1.4m) layer 273 PMT (19x13) deep (5.5m) layer 175 PMT outriggers Instrumented Area: ~40,000m2 PMT spacing: 2.8m Shallow Area: 3500m2 Deep Area: 2200m2 Andy Smith, Santa Fe Workshop 2006

  34. Source Detectability Source Size < Angular resolution = Point Sources: Crab AGN M87 constant

  35. Source Detectability Source Size > Angular Resolution = Diffuse Sources: SNR Tibet-Milagro UID Molecular Cloud n.b. if Source has internal structure you will do better

  36. Diffuse Sources: Galactic Plane Galactic Arm Extended Sources: Molecular clouds SNR, PWN Point Sources: AGN Pulsar Diffuse Sensitivity Next Gen is 1 km2 IACT, 5 deg f.o.v, 1 mCrab/50 hours

  37. CTA HAWC NGA HAWC HAWC VHE Experimental World: 2010

  38. Summary • DM detection probably requires wide fov survey in GeV/TeV energy band comnbined with pointed follow-up • New GeV/TeV sources at wide range of energies, angular scales. • GeV/TeV GRB emission requires all-sky capability • Next generation Instruments require balanced combination of complementary techniques • New Collaborations are being formed at the present time to develop/build next generation Instruments. Chinese participation is highly needed for these major new facilities.

  39. Source Resolvability Source Size > Angular Resolution Just need some factor >1 more S/N to resolve internal source structure

  40. Source Resolvability Source Size < Angular resolution As F increases, tails of Gaussian become detectable->resolve source size

  41. Possible Emission Mechanisms • Inverse Compton scattering • stellar photons • jet synchrotron photons • disk photons • “coronal” photons hadronic origin OR high-mass companion low-mass companion
