![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | Annual modulation of dark matter in the presence of streams | In addition to a smooth component of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter in galaxies, there may be streams of material; the effects of WIMP streams on direct detection experiments is examined in this paper. The contribution to the count rate due to the stream cuts off at some char... | WIMP streams; Weakly interacting massive particles; Cutoff energy; Halo models; Sagittarius dwarf galaxy; Recoil energy; Sgr stream | 2006-08 |

![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | Detectability of the Sgr dwarf leading tidal stream with Auger, EUSO, or OWL | We point out that if heavy metastable particles composing the dark matter of our galaxy are responsible for the ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR) then the leading tidal stream of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy could be detected through UHECR. The signal would be an anisotropy in the UHECR flux sma... | Sagittarius dwarf galaxy; Sgr stream; anisotropy | 2004-07 |

![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | Detectability of weakly interacting massive particles in the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream | Tidal streams of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr) may be showering dark matter onto the solar system and contributing ~(0:3-23)% of the local density of our galactic halo. If the Sagittarius galaxy contains dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), the ext... | WIMP; Weakly interacting massive particles; Sagittarius dwarf galaxy; Recoil energy; Sgr stream | 2005-02 |

![]() | Gondolo, Paolo | Effects of the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream on dark matter detectors | The Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream may be showering dark matter onto the solar neighborhood, which can change the results and interpretation of direct detection searches for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). Stars in the stream may already have been detected in the solar neighborhood, an... | Sagittarius dwarf galaxy; Sgr stream; WIMP; Weakly interacting massive particles | 2004-03 |
