Abstract
The Fermi Large Area Telescope is providing the measurement of the high energy (20 GeV to 1TeV) cosmic-ray electrons and positrons spectrum with unprecedented accuracy. This measurement represents a unique probe for studying the origin and diffusive propagation of cosmic rays as well as for looking for possible evidences of dark matter. In this framework, we discuss possible interpretations of Fermi results in relation with other recent experimental data on energetic electrons and positrons and in the searches of gamma-ray fluxes coming from WIMP pair annihilations in the sky.
