The moment of truth for WIMP Dark Matter
read the original abstract
We know that dark matter constitutes 85% of all the matter in the Universe, but we do not know of what it is made. Amongst the many Dark Matter candidates proposed, WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles) occupy a special place, as they arise naturally from well motivated extensions of the standard model of particle physics. With the advent of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, and a new generation of astroparticle experiments, the moment of truth has come for WIMPs: either we will discover them in the next five to ten years, or we will witness the inevitable decline of WIMP paradigm.

Unidentified Gamma-ray Sources as Targets for Indirect Dark Matter Detection with the Fermi-Large Area Telescope
Filtering unidentified Fermi sources and comparing to repopulated VL-II simulations yields upper limits of 4e-26 cm3/s (10 GeV) and 5e-25 cm3/s (100 GeV) on tau-pair annihilation.
