SUMMARY:Constraining Dark Matter with Background Light\, Theory Semina
 r (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Sam McDermott\, University of Michigan
DESCRIPTION:Photons are generic in final states of dark matter annihil
 ation or decay\, and a wide range of X-ray and gamma ray observations 
 are available to constrain broad classes of dark matter models. In the
  first part of the talk I will survey some robust bounds derived in th
 e context of light decaying dark matter. These bounds are applicable i
 n complete generality\, making no assumptions about background models 
 or underlying astrophysics\, and they can be applied both in model dep
 endent and model independent contexts. In the latter part of the talk\
 , I will discuss some work in progress that focuses on bounds on annih
 ilating dark matter from the isotropic gamma ray background.
