- 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.

Dynamical Blueprints for Galaxies

TL;DR: In this article, an axisymmetric, equilibrium model for late-type galaxies is presented, which consists of an exponential disk, a Sersic bulge, and a cuspy dark halo.

Search for dark matter candidates and large extra dimensions in events with a jet and missing transverse momentum with the ATLAS detector

Georges Aad, +2934 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a search for new phenomena in events with a high-energy jet and large missing transverse momentum is performed using data from proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large flatiron Collider.

Galaxy Masses

TL;DR: The review as mentioned in this paper addresses the variety and reliability of mass estimators that pertain to stars, gas, and dark matter, and different sections on masses from stellar populations, dynamical masses of gas-rich and gas-poor galaxies.

DARWIN: towards the ultimate dark matter detector

TL;DR: The DARWIN detector as mentioned in this paper is an experiment for the direct detection of dark matter using a multi-ton liquid xenon time projection chamber at its core, whose primary goal is to explore the experimentally accessible parameter space for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in a wide mass-range, until neutrino interactions with the target become an irreducible background.

Fitting the gamma-ray spectrum from dark matter with DMFIT: GLAST and the galactic center region

TL;DR: DMFIT as mentioned in this paper is a tool that allows one to fit gamma-ray emission from pair annihilation of generic particle dark matter models and to extract information on the mass, normalization and annihilation branching ratios into Standard Model final states.

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.
