Particle dark matter: Evidence, candidates and constraints

Gianfranco Bertone, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
- Vol. 405, Iss: 5, pp 279-390
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.

Commissioning of the ArDM experiment at the Canfranc underground laboratory: first steps towards a tonne-scale liquid argon time projection chamber for Dark Matter searches

TL;DR: The Argon Dark Matter (ArDM) experiment consists of a liquid argon (LAr) time projection chamber (TPC) sensitive to nuclear recoils, resulting from scattering of hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) on argon targets as mentioned in this paper.

Halo Substructure Boosts to the Signatures of Dark Matter Annihilation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review recent progress on estimates of the subhalo boost factor, a ratio of the luminosity from annihilation in the subhalos to that originating the smooth component, based on both numerical N-body simulations and semi-analytic modelings.

Enhanced sensitivity to dark matter self-annihilations in the Sun using neutrino spectral information

TL;DR: In this article, a method to convert constraints on neutrino fluxes to a limit on the WIMP-nucleon scattering cross-section was proposed, which can be applied to all neutrinos.

Heavy WIMP through Higgs portal at the LHC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated 8 TeV LHC results on signatures of the vector boson fusion, mono-jet and associated production of the Z boson, which proceed via virtual exchange of the Higgs boson.

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.

The Early Universe

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.
