Description
Dark matter constitutes most of the matter content of the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. Charged cosmic rays provide a powerful avenue to search for possible dark matter signatures through anomalous contributions to the observed fluxes of antimatter. In this talk, I will discuss the status of indirect dark matter searches across multiple cosmic-ray channels. After reviewing the main theoretical framework and relevant astrophysical backgrounds, I will present current observational constraints from cosmic-ray measurements and discuss the main associated uncertainties. Finally, I will highlight the potential of cosmic rays to probe dark matter models beyond standard WIMP scenarios.
