These lectures, presented at the 2021 Les Houches Summer School on Dark Matter, provide an introduction to key methods and tools of indirect dark matter searches, as well as a status report on the field circa summer 2021. Topics covered include the possible effects of energy injection from dark matter on the early universe, methods to calculate both the expected energy distribution and spatial distribution of particles produced by dark matter interactions, an outline of theoretical models that predict diverse signals in indirect detection, and a discussion of current constraints and some claimed anomalies. These notes are intended as an introduction to indirect dark matter searches for graduate students, focusing primarily on intuition-building estimates and useful concepts and tools.

  1. The Highest-Energy Neutrino Event Constrains Dark Matter-Neutrino Interactions

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    KM3-230213A limits dark matter-neutrino scattering to below about 1e-22 cm^2/GeV at 220 PeV, but most simple dark matter models are excluded by unitarity above MeV masses.

  2. Constraining Effective Field Theories for dark matter candidates annihilating into gamma-ray lines with CTAO

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using CTAO projected line sensitivity, the paper forecasts lower bounds on effective dark matter interaction scales above 10 TeV for TeV mass dark matter, with direct detection dominating the fermionic dipole operator.
