In the light of the latest measurements on the total $e^+ + e^-$ flux by CALET and DAMPE experiments, we revisit the multicomponent leptonically decaying dark matter (DM) explanations to the cosmic-ray electron/positron excesses observed…

The overabundance of high-energy cosmic positrons, observed by PAMELA and AMS-02, can be considered as the consequence of dark matter decays or annihilations. We show that recent FERMI/LAT measurements of the isotropic diffuse gamma-ray…

It is commonly assumed that dark matter may be composed of one or at most a few elementary particles. PAMELA data present a window of opportunity into a possible relationship between luminous and dark matter. Along with ATIC data the two…

A stable Dirac fermion with four-fermion interactions to leptons suppressed by a scale Lambda ~ 1 TeV is shown to provide a viable candidate for dark matter. The thermal relic abundance matches cosmology, while nuclear recoil direct…

The PAMELA and Fermi measurements of the cosmic-ray electron and positron spectra have generated much interest over the past two years, because they are consistent with a significant component of the electron and positron fluxes between 20…

We propose a dark matter explanation to simultaneously account for the excess of antiproton-to-proton and positron power spectra observed in the AMS-02 experiment while having the right dark matter relic abundance and satisfying the current…

We present a supersymmetric model with two dark matter (DM) components explaining the galactic positron excess observed by PAMELA/HEAT and ATIC/PPB-BETS: One is the conventional (bino-like) lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) \chi, and…

The DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) mission revealed a break in the spectrum of cosmic-ray electons and positrons. This is associated with an excess above the expected backgrounds at energies around 1 TeV. Several authors have argued…

The nonbaryonic dark matter of the Universe is assumed to consist of new stable particles. A specific case is possible, when new stable particles bear ordinary electric charge and bind in heavy "atoms" by ordinary Coulomb interaction. Such…

The recent observation by the PAMELA satellite of a rising positron fraction up to $\sim$ 100 GeV has triggered a considerable amount of putative interpretations in terms of dark matter (DM) annihilation or decay. Here, we make a critical…

Positron excess upto energies $\sim$350 GeV has been observed by AMS-02 result and it is consistent with the positron excess observed by PAMELA upto 100 GeV. There is no observed excess of anti-protons over the expected CR background. We…

PAMELA and ATIC recently reported excesses in e+ e- cosmic rays. Since the interpretation in terms of DM annihilations was found to be not easily compatible with constraints from photon observations, we consider the DM decay hypothesis and…

Dark Matter annihilation (DMA) may yield an excess of gamma rays and antimatter particles, like antiprotons and positrons, above the background from cosmic ray interactions. Several signatures, ranging from the positron excess, as observed…
