SUMMARY:Light from Darkness? Searching for Dark Matter in the Sky\, Ph
 ysics Department Colloquium\, Tracy Slatyer\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:Dark matter is believed to comprise five-sixths of the mat
 ter in the universe\, and is one of the strongest pieces of evidence f
 or new fundamental physics. But dark matter does not interact directly
  with light\, making it very difficult to detect except by its gravity
 . I will describe how dark matter collisions might produce high-energy
  particles observable by Earth-based telescopes\, and how we can attem
 pt to tease out those signals from the background. In the last few yea
 rs\, such attempts have unveiled fascinating new structures in high-en
 ergy gamma rays: understanding these observations may either reveal th
 e new physics of dark matter\, or probe the deep history of our Milky 
 Way Galaxy.
