Description

The presence of dark matter in our Universe is one of the biggest mystery in the modern cosmology as well as particle physics. I will give a review on how dark matter can be searched through observation of high-energy cosmic rays. In particular I will focus on the recent PAMELA result on the positron fraction and its implication for dark matter. (author)
