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.

Powerful solar signatures of long-lived dark mediators

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the case when annihilation proceeds via long-lived dark mediators, which allows gamma rays to escape the Sun and reduces the attenuation of neutrinos.

AMS-02 positron excess: New bounds on dark matter models and hint for primary electron spectrum hardening ✩

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of spectrum hardening of primary electrons on the positron-to-positron ratio in the presence of dark-matter-originated electron/posITron pairs.

A Dark Matter candidate from Lorentz Invariance in 6 Dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of Universal Extra Dimensions where a scalar photon of few hundred GeV is a good candidate for dark matter was proposed, and the spectrum of the model is characteristic of the geometry, and it has clear distinctive features compared to previous models of Kaluza-Klein dark matter.

Thermal and non-thermal production of dark matter via Z'-portal(s)

TL;DR: In this article, the genesis of dark matter in the primordial universe for representative classes of Z'-portals models was studied and the range of values of the kinetic mixing allowed by WMAP/PLANCK experiments corresponding to a FIMP regime.

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.
