Low frequency window for searches for indirect detection of Dark Matter

Enormous experimental progress in the last few years has intensified the search for non-gravitational interactions of dark matter (DM). These interactions are expected to manifest themselves through nuclear recoils in ground-based experiments (direct detection), missing-energy signatures in particle colliders or through distinct signatures in the sky (indirect detection). In this talk I will introduce the field of indirect DM detection by briefly discussing the relevant physical processes and their detection prospects. In particular, I will focus on the diffuse radio emission in the form of synchrotron radiation that is associated with the annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). As a practical example and based on my own research, I will discuss the phenomenology of this detection window for DM by using Galactic high velocity clouds as targets.
