Status of Indirect (and Direct) Dark Matter searches

Abstract

This article summarizes the status of Indirect and Direct searches for Dark Matter, with a special focus and a critical look on the former. It is the write-up of a rapporteur talk given at the 34th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2015) in The Hague, The Netherlands.

25 pages, many figures (including a new summary chart of all current DM ID constraints). The generic parts of the text concerning DM ID are copied from arXiv:1202.1454, of which this work is (in some sense) an update. v2: references added. v3: a few more references added
