Description
I will present an overview of the widely used DarkSUSY package, with a focus on recent
developments. DarkSUSY is a highly modular and flexible library of numerical routines
to accurately compute a variety of astrophysical signals from dark matter, both in
supersymmetric and other particle physic models. This includes direct detection
rates in low-background counting experiments and indirect detection through antiprotons,
antideuterons, gamma-rays and positrons from the Galactic halo, or high-energy
neutrinos from the center of the Earth or the Sun. High-precision tools are
furthermore provided for the computation of the relic density in the Universe today,
including situations where the dark matter particles reside in a secluded dark
sector or when chemical and kinetic decoupling are intertwined. The most recent
major update, DarkSUSY 6.3, adds the possibility of computing the abundance of
feebly interacting dark matter particles through the freeze-in mechanism.
