Within the various attempts to determine the nature of dark matter there are two types of types of searches: Direct searches, that typically search for interactions between dark matter particles with baryonic matter within some type of instrumented volume of a detector or for dark matter candidate particles being produced within accelerators and indirect searches, that look for an indirect signal in the form of cosmic rays from dark matter annihilations or decays within celestial objects. In this seminar i will focus on these indirect searches with cosmic rays giving an overview of the different experiments and show details of these searches with the example of neutrinos from dark matter annihilations.
