DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Geoff Beck (University of the Witwatersrand)\nRadio 
 indirect detection has evolved into a promising approach to probe the natu
 re of dark matter. This will only be enhanced by the construction of the f
 ull SKA. In the mean-time\, MeerKAT’s potential as a dark matter detecto
 r has largely been ignored. In this work we will present simulations of th
 e sensitivity of MeerKAT to diffuse radio emissions and apply them the dwa
 rf galaxy Reticulum II to determine the potential of MeerKAT to probe the 
 WIMP parameter space. We demonstrate that\, by leveraging its angular reso
 lution\, MeerKAT has the potential to produce constraints tighter than Fer
 mi-LAT results in dwarf spheroidal galaxies.\n\nhttps://indico.tlabs.ac.za
