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 lower bound on the mass of dark matter particles
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present lower bounds on the mass of DM particles, coming from various dSphs, using both information about the current phase space distribution and both the initial and final distributions.

TL;DR: The XENON100 dark matter experiment uses liquid xenon (LXe) in a time projection chamber (TPC) to search for xenon nuclear recoils resulting from the scattering of dark matter Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) as discussed by the authors.

Gamma-ray and radio tests of the e? excess from DM annihilations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that if it is due to Dark Matter annihilations, the associated gamma-ray flux and the synchrotron emission produced by e± in the galactic magnetic field violate HESS and radio observations of the galactic center and HESS observations of dwarf spheroidals, unless the DM density profile is significantly less steep than the benchmark NFW and Einasto profiles.

TL;DR: If the main halo of the Milky Way is strongly detected, then small dark matter clumps should also be visible, but may well contain no stars, thereby confirming a key prediction of the cold dark matter model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed an analysis of the diffuse gamma-ray emission with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) in the Milky Way halo region, searching for a signal from dark matter annihilation or decay.

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.
