The annihilation of dark-matter particles may lead to the production of monochromatic gamma-ray emission. In this contribution, the search for spectral lines in the gamma-ray spectrum using eight years of data collected with the space-borne Dark Matter Particle Explorer is presented. To improve the event selection, two machine-learning algorithms were developed and proved to outperform all the...

220. Search for Dark Matter with the GAPS balloon-borne experiment

The search for Dark Matter (DM) in cosmic rays focuses on the particles generated in potential DM annihilation or decay. GAPS (General Antiparticle Spectrometer) is a balloon-borne experiment whose goal is to detect low-energy (E < 0.25 GeV/n) cosmic anti-nuclei for a deeper understanding of the physics beyond the Standard Model (e.g., dark matter annihilation or decay). In particular,...

217. Indirect DM searches with Gravitational Waves

LISA, the space-based gravitational wave detector which was recently adopted, is due to fly in the mid 2030s. An entire new frequency range will be opened up for discovering gravitational wave sources, including intermediate and extreme mass ratio black hole binaries which will remain in band for up to weeks, months or even years. This offers an exciting new avenue for fundamental physics...
