Similarly to gravitational lensing effects like cosmic shear, cosmological γ-ray emission too is to some extent a tracer of the distribution of dark matter (DM) in the Universe. Intervening DM structures source gravitational lensing distortions of distant galaxy images, and those same galaxies can emit γ rays, either because they host astrophysical sources, or directly by particle DM annihilations or decays occurring in the galactic halo. If such γ rays exhibit correlation with the cosmic shear signal, this will provide novel information on the composition of the extragalactic γ-ray background.
