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:

Gamma-ray and Radio Constraints of High Positron Rate Dark Matter Models Annihilating into New Light Particles
TL;DR: The possibility of explaining the positron and electron excess recently found by the PAMELA and ATIC collaborations in terms of dark matter (DM) annihilation has attracted considerable attention as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the consequences of an extension of the standard model containing an invisible extra gauge group under which the SM particles are neutral were studied, and it was shown that effective operators generated by loops of heavy chiral fermions charged under both gauge groups and connecting the new gauge sector to the Standard Model can give rise to a viable dark matter candidate.

TL;DR: In this article, the MAGIC-I ground-based gamma-ray telescope was used to observe the nearly satellite galaxy Segue 1 for a total of 43.2 hours and differential upper limits on the grimma-ray flux were derived assuming various power-law slopes for the possible emission spectrum.

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.
