Abstract

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are a theoretical class of particles that are excellent dark matter candidates. WIMP annihilation or decay may produce essentially monochromatic $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ rays detectable by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) against the astrophysical $\ensu...
