A Model-Independent Approach to
WIMP Dark Matter
Abstract:
I discuss how the results of dark matter experiments can be used to
draw conclusions about the nature of WIMP dark matter that are to a
large extent model-independent. Specifically, I show that combining the
results
of direct detection experiments with data from neutrino telescopes can
help establish whether the dark matter particle is its own
anti-particle.
I go on to discuss how results from gamma ray telescopes can help
identify
the primary annihilation channel of dark matter.
