Abstract

Experimental observations have demonstrated a strong correlation between star-forming processes and gamma-ray luminosities, giving strong hints about the nature of the Cosmic-Rays (CRs) transport mechanisms inside Starburst Nuclei. In this contribution, we discuss the imprints on nearby Starburst galaxies (SBGs) gamma-ray spectra left by different CR transport models, quantifying the potentiality of future telescopes to distinguish between them. We also investigate the possibility of constraining the properties of light Dark Matter (DM) particles exploiting the peculiar nature of CR transport inside SBNs. We show that the property of scattering between high-energy CRs and DM particles leads to observable features, thereby posing stringent constraints on the DM parameter space.
