We study for the first time the possibility that Dark Matter (represented by particles with spin $0,1/2$ or $1$) interacts gravitationally with Standard Model particles in an extra-dimensional Clockwork/Linear Dilaton model. We assume that…

Monochromatic gamma ray lines have long been known to provide potential smoking gun signals for annihilating dark matter. Here, we demonstrate that the situation is particularly interesting for Kaluza-Klein dark matter because resonant…

The annihilation signal of particle dark matter can be strongly enhanced in over-dense regions such as close to the Galactic centre. We summarize some of our recent results on fluxes of gamma-rays, neutrinos and radio waves under different…

A complete set of wave solutions is given for the weak field in a Kaluza-Klein theory with degenerate metric. In the five-dimensional version of this theory electromagnetism is described by two vector fields, and there is a reflection…

In a minimal model of universal extra dimensions the lightest Kalzua-Klein particle is neutral and stable because of Kaluza-Klein parity conservation and it is a dark matter candidate. The corresponding level 2 mode of the lightest…

We study the consequences of the gravitino decay into dark matter. We suppose that the lightest neutralino is the main component of dark matter. In our framework gravitino is heavy enough to decay before Big Bang Nucleosynthesis starts. We…

We carry out a detailed analysis of fluxes of cosmic ray antiprotons, positrons, electrons and photons to be expected from the annihilation of relic heavy neutrinos in the galactic halo. The spectra of particles are evaluated by Monte Carlo…

We calculate the flux of cosmic positrons from the dark matter annihilation in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity. The dark matter annihilates mainly into weak gauge bosons in the halo, and high energy positrons are produced through…
