Dark Matter in form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles can annihilate and produce high energy (E>100MeV) gamma rays. Not deflected by magnetic field, they can be used to probe for the existence of DM in different location, e.g. at the Galactic centre or in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Pair conversion space-based telescopes like Fermi-LAT, and an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov...
