Description
Dark Matter constitutes more that 80% of the total amount of matter in the Universe, yet almost nothing is known about its nature. A powerful investigation technique is that of searching for the products of annihilations of Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo (and beyond), on top of the ordinary cosmic rays.
If a few anomalies still exist (notably the GeV GC gamma-ray excess), most recent experiments have reported constraints. What is the current status? What is in store for the near future in this field?
