Description
The indirect search for dark matter is one out of many scientific goals of
gamma-astronomy. The main focus are spectral signatures of dark
matter annihilation or decay in the measurements towards targets where
dark matter is expected. Another possibility is to examine the anisotropy
power spectrum of the $\gamma$-ray background radiation, which might exhibit
a measuable signature especially in the case of annihilating dm, whose
signal is proportional to the dm density square. In this
presentation we investigate the possibilities of air Cherenkov teleskopes
to measure the power spectrum and to distinguish between the several
hypothesis of its origin.
