SEMINARIO DI FISICA ASTROPARTICELLARE

A status of indirect dark matter searches

Julien Lavalle
(University of Turin)

Abstract
I will review the main theoretical and observational results associated with indirect dark matter searches. I will notably discuss the recent PAMELA buzz, in light of the thorough study we performed in Torino to predict the standard astrophysical contributions to the cosmic-ray electron and positron budget. Finally, I will show how astrophysics, provided some theoretical/experimental improvements, can provide powerful means to further survey the annihilating dark matter phase-space complementary to direct detection and collider physics, emphasizing multimessenger, multiwavelength and multiscale strategies.
