r6779 r6780 256 256 One scenario is related to protons accelerated to about $10^{18}$ eV \cite{Aharonian2005}. These protons produce gamma rays via photo-meson processes. This scenario also predicts detectable fluxes of $10^{18}$ eV neutrons and perhaps gamma rays and neutrinos. A hint of an excess of highest energy neutrons from the galactic center has been reported in \cite{Hayashida1999}. 257 257 258 TeV gamma rays can also be produced by significantly lower energy protons, accelerated by the electric filed close to the gravitational radius or by str ung shocks in the accretion disk. In this case the gamma-ray production is dominated by interactions of $10^{13}$ eV protons with the accretion plasma. This scenario predicts a neutrino flux which should be observable with northern neutrino telescopes like NEMO. It also predicts strong TeV--X-ray--IR correlations.258 TeV gamma rays can also be produced by significantly lower energy protons, accelerated by the electric filed close to the gravitational radius or by strong shocks in the accretion disk.

Due to its proximity the Galactic Center yields the largest expected flux from particle dark matter annihilation. Nevertheless this flux is more than one order of magnitude below the current MAGIC sensitivity. Also the observed flux from the HESS experiment way above the theoretical expectation.284 in the plane $N_{\gamma}(E_{\gamma}>E_{\mathrm{thresh}})\langle \sigma v \rangle$ vs. $m_{\chi}$.

The observed spectrum extends to more than 18 TeV, well beyond the favored mass region of the lightest SUSY particle, and the observed flux is larger than the theoretical expectation in most models. This leads to the conclusion that most likely the dominating part of the observed gamma flux from the Galactic Center is not due to SUSY particle Dark Matter annihilation.
