TLDR

The current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations, including direct and indirect detection techniques, is discussed in this paper. But the authors focus on neutralinos in models of supersymmetry and Kaluza-Klein dark matter in universal extra dimensions.

An anomalous positron abundance in cosmic rays with energies 1.5-100 GeV

O. Adriani, +50 more

Nature

TL;DR: It is found that the positron fraction increases sharply over much of that range, in a way that appears to be completely inconsistent with secondary sources, and is concluded that a primary source, be it an astrophysical object or dark matter annihilation, is necessary.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the mass of the KK photon and the neutrino can be inferred from the spectrum of the first-tier KK modes, and that the photon can have appropriate annihilation cross sections to account for the dark matter.
