Description
An excess of gamma rays has long been observed by the Fermi-LAT experiment in the galactic centre in the GeV range. Although it is consistent with dark matter annihilation, it has been shown that it could also be due to an unresolved population of Millisecond Pulsars (MSPs). I will present an analysis that investigates under what conditions the Cherenkov Telescope Array could resolve TeV emission from the same source population, opening a new window into this astrophysical background for dark matter searches.
