报告摘要/Abstract: | |
The standard paradigm for cosmic structure formation has strong observational support on scales ranging from that of the entire observable universe down to those on which dwarf galaxies form. On all these scales, structure formation is driven by the gravitational effects of dark matter of unknown nature. Viable elementary particles candidates are constrained to behave like Cold Dark Matter on observed scales but a wide range of behaviours is possible on scales comparable to and smaller than the smallest dwarf galaxies. Numerical simulations allow exploration of dark matter structure on scales smaller than any visible object. On most scales dark matter halos form with a simple universal structure, but the very first nonlinear collapses produce objects with a different structure, so-called prompt cusps. For most dark matter candidates, the masses of these prompt cusps are too small for them to have measurable dynamical effects on visible systems, but their densities are so high that the majority will survive until the present day. As a result, their aggregate emission will dominate any gamma-ray signal from dark matter annihilation. This has important consequences for programmes aiming to detect dark matter indirectly through this signal, significantly strengthening the upper limits on annihilation cross-section implied by current observational data. | |
