Abstract

The dark matter candidates we are searching for, e.g. neutralinos, may be one of many components of the cold dark matter (CDM). We point out here that very subdominant components, constituting even 1% of the CDM for indirect detection and much less for direct detection, remain observable in current and future searches. So, if a CDM signal is confirmed in CDM search experiments (except for a signal from annihilations in the dark halo), we will need to find out the halo fraction accounted for by the CDM component we detected.
