We consider the hypothesis that dark matter is made of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and describe how their pair annihilation in the galactic halo generates exotic cosmic ray fluxes. Features for generic WIMP models are reviewed, pointing out cases in which clear signatures arise. Implications from available and upcoming measurements are discussed.

We shall consider the problem of Dark Matter (DM) in torsion gravity with Dirac matter fields; we will consider the fact that if Weakly-Interacting Massive Particles in a bath are allowed to form condensates then torsional effects may be relevant even at galactic scales: we show that torsionally-gravitating Dirac fields have interesting properties for the problem of DM. We discuss consequences.
