Abstract

We study the possibility of identifying dark matter properties from direct (XENON100) and indirect (GLAST) detection experiments. In the same way, we examine the perspectives given by the next generation of colliders (ILC). All this analysis is done following a model-independent approach. We have shown that the three detection techniques can act in a highly complementary way. whereas direct detection experiments will probe efficiently light WIMPs, given a positive detection (at the 10% level for mχ50m_{\chi} \sim 50 GeV), GLAST will be able to confirm and even increase the precision in the case of a NFW profile, for a WIMP-nucleon cross-section σχp<108\sigma_{\chi-p}<10^{-8} pb. However, for heavier WIMP (175\sim 175 GeV), the ILC will lead the reconstruction of the mass.
