The 511 keV high-precision map obtained by the INTEGRAL/SPI experiment suggested a surprisingly large amount of positrons in our galaxy with respect to 'naive' astrophysical expectations. Although an astrophysical origin is not excluded, this signal may shed light on dark matter. Here we discuss a possible MeV dark matter interpretation of the 511…
