- 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.

Physics searches at the LHC

TL;DR: A broad review of models for new TeV-scale physics and their LHC signatures is presented in this paper, where the authors discuss possible new physics signatures and describe how they can be linked to specific models of physics beyond the Standard Model.

Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity. Phenomenology of non-linear gravity-matter coupling

TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic completion of the Born-Infeld gravity was studied in the context of a non-relativistic collapse of non-interacting particles, which is equivalent to General Relativity in vacuum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multi-Component Dark Matter Systems and Their Observation Prospects

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a three-component DM system and show that the relic abundance of DM can be very sensitive to these nonstandard DM annihilation processes, which has been recently found for two component DM systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Axial dark matter: The case for an invisible Z′

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the possibility that fermionic dark matter (DM) interacts with the Standard Model fermions through an axial Z ′ boson and show that the DM annihilation cross-section is consistent with thermal history of the universe.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dark matter annihilation or unresolved astrophysical sources? Anisotropy probe of the origin of the cosmic gamma-ray background

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the CGB anisotropy both from unresolved blazars and dark matter annihilation (including contributions from dark matter substructures), and find that the angular power spectra from these sources are very different.

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.
