Indirect Searches for Dark Matter: a status review
Abstract
I review in a schematic way the current status of indirect searches for Dark Matter: I list the main relevant experimental results of the recent years and I discuss the excitements and disappointments that their phenomenological interpretations in terms of almost-standard annihilating Dark Matter have brought along. I then try to individuate the main directions which have emerged from the recent very intense model-building activity. In passing, I list the main sources of uncertainties that affect this kind of searches.
