Scientific paper

It is described the distribution of small-scale dark matter (DM) clumps in the Galactic halo. These clumps are efficiently destructed by tidal forces at early stages of structure formation starting from time of clump detachment from the expansion of the Universe. Only a small fraction of these clumps survives the stage of hierarchical clustering. The survived clumps can be further destructed in the Galaxy by tidal interactions with stars in the Galactic bulge, disk and halo. It is shown that collective gravitational field of the Galactic disc provides the dominant contribution to the destruction of small-scale clumps. The resulting enhancement (boost factor) of annihilation signal due to the halo clumpiness strongly depends on the primordial perturbation spectrum and varies in the range 10-100.
