Abstract

Gamma Rays at 130 GeV and How They Might Come from Dark Matter" I'll discuss the exciting (but somewhat controversial) new discovery of a sharp gamma ray feature at 130 GeV from near the galactic center and review some other evidence that might link it to annihilation of dark matter. I will then explain the challenges in understanding how dark matter might produce this signal and explain a model or two that overcome these difficulties.
