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:

A minimal model for two-component dark matter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a new minimal model for two-component dark matter, which contains only three additional fields, one fermion and two scalars, all singlets under the Standard Model gauge group.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Possible Explanation of Low Energy $\gamma$-ray Excess from Galactic Centre and Fermi Bubble by a Dark Matter Model with Two Real Scalars
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a multi-component dark matter (DM) model to explain results from both direct and indirect detection experiments, and presented detailed calculations for the vacuum stability bounds, perturbative unitarity and triviality constraints on this model.
Journal ArticleDOI
LUX likelihood and limits on spin-independent and spin-dependent WIMP couplings with LUXCalc
TL;DR: In this article, a new utility for calculating likelihoods and deriving weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP)-nucleon coupling limits from the recent results of the LUX direct search dark matter experiment is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density profiles of ultracompact minihalos: Implications for constraining the primordial power spectrum
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a model that is calibrated to simulation results and predicts halo structures in spiked power spectra based on their formation times, and calculated new upper bounds on the primordial power spectrum based on limits on the dark matter annihilation rate within the Galaxy.

TL;DR: This is the first experimental search for boosted dark matter from the Galactic center or the Sun interacting in a terrestrial detector, and limits on boosted dark Matter event rates in multiple angular cones around the Galactic Center and Sun are calculated.

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.

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.

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.
