Description

Soon the GLAST satellite will be launched, and a window will open in energy between 30 and 300 GeV, a range where most of the Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are predicted to give a signal, if the dark matter halo follows the predictions of N-body simulations. A review of the various candidates and their potential of being detected in gamma-rays is given.
