Description

Dark matter particles which decay into charged fermions produce, via radiative corrections, monoenergetic gamma rays with a branching ratio that depends on the details of the dark matter model. We analyze in this talk the prospects to detect monoenergetic gamma-rays from radiative dark matter decays at present and future experiments. We also discuss the implications for concrete models of decaying dark matter, concretely those which can explain the electron/positron excesses observed by PAMELA and the Fermi-LAT.
