Apocenter Pericenter Possible origin of ring like structure Infall of dwarf galaxy in gravitational potential of larger galaxy into elliptical orbit start precessions, if matter is not distributed homogeneous. Tidal forces gradient of field, i.e. 1/r3. This means tidal disruption only effective at pericenter for large ellipticity! Could tidal disruption of dwarf galaxy lead to ringlike structure of 1010 solar masses? N-body simulations no clear answer. All depends on initial conditions. Also no clear explanation for ring of stars of 109 solar masses.

10 (wrong) objections against DMA interpretation • Proton spectra only measured locally. Spectra near center of • galaxy, where protons are accelerated, can be different and • produce harder gamma spectrum, as observed by EGRET. Answer: proton energy loss times larger than age of universe, so proton energy spectra will become equal by diffusion This is PROVEN by the fact that we see same spectrum and same excess in inner and outer galaxy. 2) Is background known well enough to make such strong statements? A: Background SHAPE is known, since mainly from pp collisions. Analysis does not depend on absolute fluxes from propagation models. Propagation.of gammas is straightforward.Signature is not only excess, BUT SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS AS 1/r2 profile+substr. 3) Can unresolved point sources be responsible for excess? Answer: NO, if they have similar spectra as the many resolved point sources, they would reduce the data points at low energy, thus increasing the DMA contribution if shapes are fitted. Also do not expect 1/r2 profile for point sources.

(L.B.) Answer:Antiproton production: p+p->pbar+X: Npbar <ρCR ρGas> Antiproton annihilation:p+pbar-> X: <ρGas2> <ρGas2>/ <ρGas>2 can be much larger than 1 by clustering 5) Rotation curves in outer galaxy measured with different method than inner rotation curve. Can you combine? Also it depends on R0. Answer: first points of outer RC have same negative slope as inner RC so no problem with method. Change of slope seen for every R0. 6) Ringlike structures have enhanced density of hydrogen, so you expect excess of gamma radiation there. Why you need DMA? Answer: since we fit only the shapes of signal and BG, a higher gas density is automatically taken into account and DMA is needed to fit the spectral shape of the data. 7) Is EGRET data reliable enough to make such strong statements? Answer: EGRET spectrometer was calibrated in photon beam at SLAC. Calibration carefully monitored in space. Impossible to get calibration wrong in such a way that it fakes DMA.
10 (wrong) objections against DMA interpretation 7) How can you be sure that this outer ring is from the tidal disruption of satellite galaxy, so one can expect DM there? Answer: one observes rings for all three ingredients of a galaxy: gas, stars and DM. The stars cannot be part of the disk, since the thickness of the ring is a factor 20 larger than the thickness of the disk. Furthermore, very small velocity dispersion of stars 8) Is it not peculiar that the rings are in the plane of the disk? Answer: the angular momenta of halo and disk tend to align after a certain time of precession, so rings end up in plane of the disk.. 9) The inner ring was not observed as a ring of stars. How can you be sure DM concentrates there? Answer: The density of stars and dust is to high to obtain substructure in the star population. However, the ring of dust and molecular hydrogen are proof of a graviational well, which indicates DM. 10) How can one reconstruct 3D halo profiles, if one observes gamma rays only along the line of sight without knowing the distance? Answer: if one observes in ALL directions, one can easily unfold, see rings of Saturn (same problem).
What about Supersymmetry?

Astrophysicists: What is the origin of “GeV excess” of diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays? Astronomers: Why a change of slope in the galactic rotation curve at R0 ≈ 11 kpc? Why ring of stars at 14 kpc? Why ring of molecular hydrogen at 4 kpc? Cosmologists: How is DM annihilating?A: into quark pairs How is Cold Dark Matter distributed? Particle physicists: Is DM annihilating as expected in Supersymmetry? 7 Physics Questions answered SIMULTANEOUSLY by this analysis A: DM annihilation A: DM substructure A: isothermal cored profile+substructure A: Cross sections perfectly consistent with mSUGRA for light gauginos, heavy squarks/sleptons

300 MeV 150 MeV 100 MeV 500 MeV 1000 MeV 2000 MeV From original paper on Optimized Model Strong et al. astro-ph/0406254 longitude Real problem with conventional models: if data is perfectly fitted with sum of power spectrum+monoenergetic peak for quarks, then you cannot get good fit with whatever power spectrum you invent. In addition, DM has different spatial distribution, so fitting over all directions gives prob.<10-7 in all cases.
Summary 10σ EGRET excess shows all key features from DM annihilation: Excess has same shape in all sky directions: everywhere it is perfectly (only?) explainable with superposition of background AND mono-energetic quarks of 50-100 GeV Results consistent with minimal SUPERSYMMETRY Excess follows expectations from galaxy formation: cored 1/r2 profile with substructure, visible matter/DM0.02 Significance >10σ with >1400 indep. data points Excess is TRACER OF DM, since it can explain peculiar shape of rotation curve Results model independent, since only KNOWN spectral shapes of signal and background used, NO model dependent calculations of absolute fluxes. Conventional models CANNOT explain above points SIMULTANEOUSLY, especially spectrum of gamma rays in all directions, 1/r2 profile, shape of rotation curve, ring of stars at 14 kpc and ring of H2 at 4 kpc, ….
Future: Accelerators Are results consistent with Supersymmetry? Answer: yes, for Squarks and Sleptons in TeV range WIMP is then bino like, i.e. in this case DM would be the SUSY partner of the CMB LHC/ILC Experiments will tell!
