The hadronic Low Energy region is realistically obsolete and has been replaced with a High Energy research.
In function of AMS-02 performances, an hadronic research related to very heavy DM particle is ongoing, to restart from PAMELA data. This would be the most significant signal of new particle physics, even cleaner and clearer than the leptonic one.
The positron signal, on the other hand, is of course the fundamental channel for DM study. In terms of intensity of annihilation products fluxes, AMS-02 can see a positron peak for all DM candidates capable of producing e+ beyond 100 GeV.
