Review of Indirect WIMP Search Experiments
arXiv:1210.4161 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2013.04.040
Abstract
Observational evidence for dark matter can be explained by Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). These dark matter particle candidates could indirectly be detected through the observation of signals produced as part of WIMP annihilations or decays. Latest results from indirect searches for WIMPs are reviewed. Current and planned experiments are presented and their prospects and discovery potential discussed.
