Indirect searches for Dark Matter in space: Status, results and perspectives from recent and future experiments |
|
Abstract |
The rarefied components of the cosmic-ray flux impinging upon the Earth have been a fertile ground to search for particle physics signatures for the ubiquitous dark matter. Thus, in the last two decades, a number of balloon and satellite experiments have undertaken the extremely challenging task of measuring the cosmic positron, antiproton, electron and gamma-ray fluxes. Any dark matter-induced enhancements of these signals are likely to be subtle effects requiring detailed understanding of instrumental response as well as more mundane astrophysical sources and galactic propagation effects. We will review the status of recent, ongoing and future efforts at teasing out a dark matter signal from the antimatter and electromagnetic cosmic fluxes. |
