What's the half life of dark matter?

There are models where dark matter particles decay (and/or annihilate) and experiments have tried to detect the expected radiation from this. So far unsuccessfully. So maybe it doesn't decay. Or so rarely that the signal is too weak to detect.

Also unknown is almost every other question you may ask about dark matter.

Apart from how much is there and where is it!

But what could we detect? Not photons, since that requires the EM interaction.
