Minimal Dark Matter predictions and the PAMELA positron excess

Astrophysics 2008-10-30 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We present Minimal Dark Matter and its univocal predictions for Dark Matter observables. During the idm2008 conference, PAMELA presented preliminary results showing an excess in the positron fraction: we find a good agreement, with a modest astrophysical boost factor.
