Abstract

There is a growing interest in the possibility that dark matter could be formed of weakly interacting particles with a mass in the 100 GeV - 2 TeV range, and supersymmetric particles are favorite candidates. If they constitute the dark halo of our Galaxy, their mutual annihilations produce energetic gamma rays that could be detected using existing atmospheric uCerenkov techniques.
