Title: The Dark Matter Programme of the Cherenkov Telescope Array,
Abstract: In the last decades a vaste amount of evidence for the existence of dark
matter has been accumulated. At the same time, many efforts have been
undertaken to try to identify what dark matter is. Indirect searches look at
places in the Universe where dark matter is believed to be abundant and seek
for possible annihilation or decay signatures. The Cherenkov Telescope Array
(CTA) represents the next generation of imaging Cherenkov telescopes and, with
one site in the Southern hemisphere and one in the Northern hemisphere, will be
able to observe all the sky with unprecedented sensitivity and angular
resolution above a few tens of GeV. The CTA Consortium will undertake an
ambitious program of indirect dark matter searches for which we report here the
brightest prospects.
