Abstract:
This is an overview of recent developments and future prospects in the search for dark matter as well as for the new physics. The excess of positron events measured in the AMS-2 and Pamela experiments are discussed. The interpretations of these results based on the existence of exotic heavy particles in the TeV range and considering also the possibility of millicharge characteristics, are discussed. For Axion (anti) Quark Nuggets predicted as macro particles, detection possibilities following their interactions with detectors are discussed.
