Particle dark matter: Evidence, candidates and constraints
TLDR
The current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations, including direct and indirect detection techniques, is discussed in this paper. But the authors focus on neutralinos in models of supersymmetry and Kaluza-Klein dark matter in universal extra dimensions.About:

Profile likelihood maps of a 15-dimensional MSSM
C. Strege,Gianfranco Bertone,Geert-Jan Besjes,Sascha Caron,Roberto Ruiz de Austri,Antonia Strubig,Roberto Trotta +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present statistically convergent profile likelihood maps obtained via global fits of a phenomenological Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with 15 free parameters (the MSSM-15), based on over 250M points.

Unidentified sources in the Fermi-LAT second source catalog: the case for DM subhalos
Hannes-S. Zechlin,Dieter Horns +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed both the 24-month and 42-month Fermi-LAT data sets for the γ-ray band and found that the majority of the sources likely originate from high-frequency peaked BL Lac type objects.

High-Energy Neutrino Astrophysics: Status and Perspectives
U. F. Katz,Christian Spiering +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the scientific case for neutrino telescopes, describe the detection principle and its implementation in first and second-generation installations and finally collect the existing physics results and the expectations for future detectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric Dark Matter and Dark Radiation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the scenario where the light mediator decays instead into lighter degrees of freedom in the dark sector that act as radiation in the early Universe and discuss the constraints of the interactions between DM and dark radiation from their imprint in the matter power spectrum.

TL;DR: This work presents a new method for calibration of liquid xenon (LXe) detectors, using the short-lived (83m)Kr source, which has transitions at 9.4 and 32.1 keV, and finds that at decreasing energies, the LXe light yield increases, while the amount of electric field quenching is diminished.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors find that the emerging standard model of cosmology, a flat -dominated universe seeded by a nearly scale-invariant adiabatic Gaussian fluctuations, fits the WMAP data.

Large Mass Hierarchy from a Small Extra Dimension
TL;DR: In this paper, the weak scale is generated from the Planck scale through an exponential hierarchy, but this exponential arises not from gauge interactions but from the background metric, which is a slice of spacetime.

The Structure of cold dark matter halos
TL;DR: In this article, high-resolution N-body simulations show that the density profiles of dark matter halos formed in the standard CDM cosmogony can be fit accurately by scaling a simple universal profile.

TL;DR: In this article, the Robertson-Walker Metric is used to measure the radius of the Planck Epoch in the expanding universe, which is a measure of the number of atoms in the universe.

The Hierarchy problem and new dimensions at a millimeter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new framework for solving the hierarchy problem which does not rely on either supersymmetry or technicolor, and they take as the only fundamental short distance scale in nature.
