A first part of the work consisted in measuring the auto-correlation of the gamma-ray sky, in collaboration with my collegue Michela Negro (member of the Fermi Collaboration). The second part consisted in determining the cross-correlation between the gamma-ray sky and the 2MPZ galaxy catolog, in order to characterize the local Universe. We find an interesting picture of the extragalactic unresolved gamma-rays background and we hope to put some competitive constraints on Dark Matter features. Both the works mentioned above are in an advanced state, the measuments are completed and we are moving towards the interpretation of the results. After we managed to enter into a collaboration with the Dark Energy Survey group, I started to work on a third data analysis: the measument of the correlation of the gamma-ray sky with the DES shear data (not yet free to the public); this work is still at the beginning.
