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: Euclid is a European Space Agency medium-class mission selected for launch in 2020 within the cosmic vision 2015-2025 program as discussed by the authors, which will explore the expansion history of the universe and the evolution of cosmic structures by measuring shapes and red-shift of galaxies as well as the distribution of clusters of galaxies over a large fraction of the sky.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide ingredients and recipes for computing signals of TeV-scale Dark Matter annihilations and decays in the Galaxy and beyond, and provide the propagation functions for charged particles in the galaxy, for several DM distribution profiles and sets of propagation parameters.

TL;DR: The results from the completed Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment, which searched for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP), cannot be interpreted with confidence as evidence for WIMP interactions, but neither event can be ruled out as representing signal.

Can galactic halos be made of baryons
Dennis J. Hegyi,Keith A. Olive +1 more
TL;DR: Several arguments are presented indicating that the apparently non-luminous matter forming massive halos of spiral galaxies is not baryonic as mentioned in this paper, and it appears that a significant fraction of the universe may be in the form of massive neutrinos, gravitinos, monopoles, etc.

Liquid xenon as a dark matter detector. Prospects for nuclear recoil discrimination by photon timing
TL;DR: In this paper, a likelihood analysis is proposed using the time intervals between detected photons to discriminate nuclear recoil events from radioactive background in a search for hypothetical Galactic dark matter particles, showing the background rejection achievable as a function of the number of detected photons.

Amount of antiprotons in cosmic rays due to halo neutralino annihilation
TL;DR: In this article, the antiproton-to-proton flux ratio generated by neutralino-neutralino annihilation in the galactic halo was evaluated, considering the most general compositions for the relic neutralinos and modelling the neutralino local density according to its relic abundance.
