Indirect searches for dark matter with the Fermi LAT instrument
arXiv:1404.2538 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X14300300
Abstract
In this review the current status of several searches for particle dark matter with the Fermi Large Area Telescope instrument is presented. In particular, the current limits on the weakly interacting massive particles, obtained from the analyses of gamma-rays and cosmic-ray electron/positron data, will be illustrated.
