DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. PIERI\, Lidia (INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di 
 Padova & INFN-Padova)\nWithin the Cold Dark Matter scenario of structure f
 ormation\, assuming the dark matter\nis composed by common candidates such
  as supersymmetric particles\, the smallest bound\nstructures have masses 
 as low as 10^-6. High-resolution N-body experiments have shown\nthat a lar
 ge fraction of these small structures survive hierarchical clustering and\
 ncan be found within the halo of our own Galaxy.\nThese clumps are expecte
 d to boost up significantly the expected annihilation signal.\nIn this wor
 k we perform a thorough analysis of the prospects for indirect detection\n
 of these objects with GLAST-like experiments\, exploring different prescri
 ptions for\nthe formation and evolution of dark matter clumps\, and allowi
 ng the sub-halos shape\nparameters to vary within the range currently allo
 wed by numerical simulations. \nOur results show that an experiment like G
 LAST can detect the annihilation signal if\nthe subhalo mass distribution 
 within our Galaxy is as clumpy as in the more\noptimistic\, yet not\nunrea
 listic\, cases we have explored. We also show that the annihilation signal
  comes\npreferably from the top-massive (in the range [10^8\,10^9] or [10^
 4\,10^9] Msun\,\ndepending on the model) rather than the many lightest (10
 ^-6 Msun) sub-Galactic clumps.\n\nhttps://indico.nucleares.unam.mx/event/4
