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:

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the substructure of the dark matter halo of a galaxy cluster and the cross sections for DM anniature signals to search for dark matter annihilation signals.

The birth and growth of neutralino haloes
Raul E. Angulo,Simon D. M. White +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the extended Press-Schechter formalism to study halo assembly histories in a standard Λ cold dark matter cosmology, and provided the entire halo membership histories of a representative set of dark matter particles, which they assume to be neutralinos.

Conservative constraints on dark matter from the Fermi-LAT isotropic diffuse gamma-ray background spectrum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the constraints on final state radiation from WIMP annihilating into various standard model final states, as imposed by the measurement of the isotropic diffuse gamma-ray background by the Large Area Telescope aboard the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope.

Lukewarm Dark Matter: Bose Condensation of Ultralight Particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal evolution and Bose-Einstein condensation of ultralight dark matter particles at finite, realistic cosmological temperatures were discussed, and it was shown that if these particles decouple from regular matter before Standard Model particles annihilate, their temperature will be about 0.9 K. This temperature is substantially lower than the temperature of cosmic microwave background neutrinos and thus big bang nucleosynthesis remains unaffected.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used three years of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data, which are the most suitable for searching for very extended emission in the vicinity of nearby Virgo galaxy cluster.

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.
