dc.descriptionWe calculate the flux of cosmic positrons from the dark matter annihilation in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity. The dark matter annihilates mainly into weak gauge bosons in the halo, and high energy positrons are produced through leptonic and hadronic decays of the bosons. We investigate a possibility to detect the positron signal in upcoming experiments such as PAMELA and AMS-02. We found that the dark matter signal can be distinguished from the background in the PAMELA experiment when the dark matter mass is less than 120 GeV and the signal flux is enhanced due to a small scale clustering of dark matter. Furthermore, the signal from the dark matter annihilation can be detected in the AMS-02 experiment, even if such enhancement does not exist. We also discuss the invisible width of the Higgs boson in this model.
