Description
Thailand is involved in the next generation of Cherenkov Telescopes, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Amongst the main CTA key science cases is the search for dark matter (DM). With a sensitivity one order of magnitude better than current instruments, CTA will be in a unique position to discover a DM signal in the GeV and TeV energy domain, or, in the absence of it, to significantly improve the current DM limits.
In this contribution, I will introduce the principle of gamma-ray detection from the ground using Cherenkov Telescopes and in particular CTA. I will illustrate the search for a signal from dark matter annihilation using simulated data from two dwarf spheroidal galaxies, Draco and Sculptor.
