Description
Despite its remarkable success, the Standard Model of particle physics does not address key facts revealed by cosmological and astrophysical observations. Until now, no signs of new physics have been discovered in laboratory experiments, leaving unclear what it the path chosen by Nature for the physics beyond the SM. I will discuss in this talk how indirect signals from Dark Matter might also help us in this challenging "theoretical selection problem", hence with implications on foundational aspects for BSM physics. I will illustrate this point with possible DM interpretations of "anomalies" in multi-messenger observations of energetic radiation of Galactic and extragalactic origin.
