Exploring portals to a hidden sector through fixed targets
TLDR
In this article, the sensitivity of neutrino experiments at the luminosity frontier to generic hidden sectors containing new (sub)-GeV neutral states was discussed, and it was shown that the LSND electron recoil event sample currently provides the most stringent direct constraint on MeV-scale dark matter models.Citations

TL;DR: The SHiP (Search for Hidden Particles) experiment at CERN as discussed by the authors was designed to search for new physics in the largely unexplored domain of very weakly interacting particles with masses below the Fermi scale, inaccessible to the LHC experiments.

TL;DR: It is found that the positron fraction increases sharply over much of that range, in a way that appears to be completely inconsistent with secondary sources, and is concluded that a primary source, be it an astrophysical object or dark matter annihilation, is necessary.

A theory of dark matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a light boson invoked by XDM to mediate a large inelastic scattering cross section for the DAMA annual modulation signal at low velocities at redshift, which could produce observable effects on the ionization history of the universe.

TL;DR: In this article, a method to constrain parton distribution function (PDF) uncertainties in LHC observables, by effectively exploiting PDF-induced correlations with benchmark standard model cross sections, is presented.

Secluded WIMP Dark Matter
TL;DR: In this article, a generic mechanism via which thermal relic WIMP dark matter may be decoupled from the Standard Model, namely through a combination of WIMPs annihilation to metastable mediators with subsequent delayed decay to Standard Model states, is considered.
