Abstract

I provide a short review of the current status of indirect dark matter searches with gamma rays, charged cosmic rays and neutrinos. For each case I will focus on various excesses reported in the literature which have been interpreted as possible hints of dark matter, and I will use them as examples to discuss theoretical aspects and analysis methodologies.

Discussions

• If there is any weak interaction between dark and normal matter, dark matter and cosmic rays could interact by dark matter production of cosmic rays or by cosmic rays scattering off dark matter. If da [stackexchange, 1 points]
