We examine different constraints on dark matter stability from cosmic-ray and gamma-ray observations and their complementarity through higher-order effects. Two and three-body decays of dark matter particles into charged leptons and quarks generically induce decays into monochromatic photons at the quantum level. We present a general model-independent analysis of hadronic constraints in the mass-l ... More

The Pierre Auger Observatory, located in Argentina, detects cosmic rays with energies from 100 PeV to above 100 EeV. By combining a 3000 km^2 surface detector array (SD) with 24 overlooking fluorescence telescopes (FD), the Auger Observatory can observe both the longitudinal development and lateral spread of cosmic ray air showers at ground level. The combination of the two techniques is a ... More

We explore two scenarios were the axion-photon interaction could produce observable signals of the dark matter. In the first scenario, dark compact objects made of axions, named axion stars, could collide with neutron stars. The whole energy of the axion star can be dissipated in the magnetized conducting medium of the neutron star generating gamma rays. If such gamma rays are observed, this could ... More
