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.

First results of the CERN Resonant Weakly Interacting sub-eV Particle Search (CROWS)

TL;DR: The CERN Resonant Weakly Interacting sub-eV Particle Search (RESSP) as discussed by the authors was the first experiment to detect the existence of axions or hidden sector photons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dark matter dynamics and indirect detection

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the candidates for particle dark matter and discuss the prospects for direct detection via interaction of dark matter particles with laboratory detectors and indirect detection via observations of the products of dark mass self-annihilations.

Model-Independent Determination of the WIMP Mass from Direct Dark Matter Detection Data

TL;DR: In this article, a model-independent method for determining the mass m of the WIMP by using data (i.e. measured recoil energies) of direct detection experiments is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constraints on dark matter in the solar system

TL;DR: In this article, the authors search for and estimate the possible gravitational influence of dark matter in the Solar system based on the EPM2011 planetary ephemerides using about 677 thousand positional observations of planets and spacecraft.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure formation and microlensing with axion miniclusters

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compute the mass function of halos formed by hierarchical structure formation from these seeds and show that they can grow to be as massive as $1{0}^{6}{M}_{0}$.

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.
