| contents | The positronium, a bound state of electron and positron is a unique system to perform highly precise tests, due to no hadronic background and precise Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) predictions. Being a system of lepton and antilepton, its properties are precisely described by QED in the Standard Model (SM). The final events topology can be simulated using Monte Carlo techniques. The J-PET detector is a multi-purpose, large acceptance system that is very well-suitable to the studies of positronium decay due to its excellent angular (1$^o$) and timing resolutions. \\ We present preliminary results on the feasibility of searching for Dark Matter (DM) candidates in the decay o-Ps $\rightarrow$ invisible with the J-PET, which is well suited for the detection of positronium decay products. Toy Monte Carlo simulations have been prepared to incorporate DM decay models to the o-Ps decay expectations in order to assess the detector capabilities to search for such an elusive component of our Universe. |
