DESCRIPTION:Present evidence for dark matter in our Galaxy and in the Univ
 erse at large does not exclude the possibility that the dark matter partic
 les could be unstable. If this is the case\, their decays into positrons\,
  antiprotons or gamma rays might occur at rate sufficiently large to allow
  indirect dark matter detection through an anomalous contribution to the h
 igh-energy cosmic-ray fluxes. In this talk we discuss the implications for
  the scenario of decaying dark matter of the excess in the positron fracti
 on reported by the PAMELA collaboration and the excess in the total electr
 on plus positron flux reported by the Fermi collaboration. We also discuss
  the constraints on the properties of the dark matter particles which stem
  from the non-observation of an exotic contribution in the antiproton flux
 . Finally\, we estimate the contributions to the diffuse gamma-ray backgro
 und from dark matter decay\, which will be tested in the near future by th
 e Fermi Large Area Telescope.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1711/
