Discussion Session 1 (Moderator: Eiichiro Komatsu) [40]

[summary text]

• What have we learned from the Fermi data?
• What else can we learn from the Fermi data?
• Are we limited by the quality of the data, or are we already limited by theoretical uncertainties (such as the boost factor)?
• Are there new ways to acquire/analyze the data for indirect detection of dark matter particles?
