The flux of cosmic-ray high-energy positrons has recently been measured by AMS with unprecedented precision. This flux is well above the expectation from secondary positrons made by the observed fluxes of nuclear cosmic rays impinging on…

We test the plausibility that a Majorana fermion dark matter candidate with a scalar mediator explains the gamma ray excess from the Galactic center. Assuming that the mediator couples to all third generation fermions we calculate…

We show that in the scenario where dark matter (DM) particles annihilate through light mediators, the energy spectra of the final state cosmic-ray particles depend strongly on the mediator mass. For final state antiprotons, a spectrum with…

I demonstrate that if an anisotropy in the arrival direction of high-energy cosmic-ray electrons and positrons is observed then, barring local anisotropic diffusion, dark matter annihilation is ruled out as an explanation to the positron…

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…

We perform a detailed study of the sensitivity to the anisotropies related to Dark Matter (DM) annihilation in the Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background (IGRB) as measured by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT). For the first time, we take…
