Indirect dark matter searches in Gamma- and Cosmic Rays

Understand

Dark matter candidates such as weakly-interacting massive particles are predicted to annihilate or decay into Standard Model particles leaving behind distinctive signatures in gamma rays, neutrinos, positrons, antiprotons, or even anti-nuclei.

• Indirect dark matter searches, and in particular those based on gamma-ray observations and cosmic ray measurements could detect such signatures.
• Here we review the strengths and limitations of this approach and look into the future of indirect dark matter searches.
