Description

The presence of an anomalous cosmic-ray positron component at energies coinciding with the favored mass range of dark matter candidates has spurred great interest in the past several years. After surveying current experimental results, we will address the prospects for a dark matter connection, and what channels may remain viable, in the context of recent observational and theoretical cosmic-ray positron findings.
