Abstract
We calculate and present the production spectra of secondary cosmic γ-rays and cosmic-ray neutrinos produced by the annihilation of weakly interacting heavy neutral fermions (sometimes called WIMPS for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), assuming that such particles make up the dark matter in the galactic halo. For neutrinos, both galactic and solar production spectra are given.
