Outline

Dark Matter overview.

Effect of WIMP Dark Matter Annihilation on the CMB: Homogeneous scenario. Inhomogeneous scenario: boosted electron perturbations (Non-Gaussian signal). • Other effects: enhanced matter temperature fluctuations;

key observable: 21 cm radiation field; CMB B-mode polarization.

Effect of

Dark Matter-baryon interactions on the CMB and the Large-Scale Structure.

Beyond the WIMP paradigm

• It has been pointed out that Dark Matter self-interactions and Dark Matter-Baryon interactions can significantly affect small-scale structure. • Baryon processes such as star formation, supernova feedback, gas accretion, etc. can have important effects, but these processes are partially understood theoretically and poorly constrained observationally.

Spergel

and Steinhardt (2000);

Wandelt et al. (2000)Slide21

21Goal: to use observational probes of the CMB and matter fluctuations (where the theory is under better control) to know how much interaction between baryons and

Dark Matter can occur today.

Conclusions

We will be able to put strong constraints on Dark Matter Annihilation with

future CMB observations (currently complementary to direct detection constraints). WIMP Dark matter annihilation leads to growing ionization modes that track the collapse of dark matter overdensities (boosted by 1 to 2 orders of

magnitude at small scales relative to standard model).

Electron perturbations source CMB Non-

Gaussianities at recombination. Enhanced matter temperature fluctuations at late times (natural observational tool: 21 cm radiation – future work).

Using CMB data from Planck + Ly-alpha forest measurements from

the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we conclude that a baryon in the halo of a Galaxy

like our Milky Way does not scatter from Dark Matter particles during the age

of the Universe.
