Abstract

A series of experiments measuring high energy cosmic rays have recently reported strong indications for the existence of an exotic source of high energy electrons and positrons. We review the implications of this result for astrophysics and particle physics with special emphasis on decaying dark matter as the origin of the PAMELA and Fermi anomalies.
