Recent Developments in the Indirect Detection of Dark Matter


I will discuss recent observations which may suggest the
presence of particle dark matter in our galaxy.  These observations
include Atmospheric Cerenkov Telescope (ACT) observations of the Galactic
Center and 511 keV line emission from the Galactic Bulge.  I will discuss
these observations in the context of popular particle dark matter
candidates such as neutralinos and Kaluza-Klein dark matter particles and
discuss the 511 keV emission in the context of light (1 MeV-1 GeV)
particles such as axinos in R-parity violating models.  I will also
revisit the excess of cosmic positrons observed by the HEAT experiment and
discuss its implications for particle dark matter.
