Search for sharp and smooth spectral signatures of μν SSM gravitino dark matter with Fermi-LAT

The μνSSM solves the μ problem of supersymmetric models and reproduces neutrino data, simply using couplings with right-handed neutrinos ν's. Given that these couplings break explicitly R parity, the gravitino is a natural candidate for decaying dark matter in the μνSSM. In this work we carry o...
