Description

I will present results from the "Phoenix" programme of very high resolution N-body simulations of cluster-size cold dark matter halos. I will discuss the mass distribution and internal structure of the halos and their subhalos. If the dark matter is made of supersymmetric particles, particle/anti-particle annihilation is likely to result in the emission of detectable gamma-ray radiation. I will discuss predictions from these simulations for the properties of this emission.
