Gianfranco Bertone, +2 more
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
- 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.

Search for neutral MSSM Higgs bosons decaying into a pair of bottom quarks

Vardan Khachatryan, +2379 more
TL;DR: In this article, a search for neutral Higgs bosons decaying into a b (b) over bar quark pair and produced in association with at least one additional b quark is presented.

Probing the scotogenic FIMP at the LHC

TL;DR: In this article, the signatures at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the scotogenic model, when the lightest Z 2odd particle is a singlet fermion and a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP), were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

The MSSM with heavy scalars

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) in the scenario where the scalar partners of the fermions and the Higgs particles (except for the Standard-Model-like one) are assumed to be very heavy and are removed from the low-energy spectrum.

Probing the Inert Doublet Dark Matter Model with Cherenkov Telescopes

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of the annihilation signals of the inert dark matter doublet model in its high mass regime was presented, and it was shown that the nonobservation of the continuum of photons generated by the hadronization of the annihilated products typically gives stronger constraints on the model parameters than the sharp spectral features associated to annihilation into monochromatic photons and the internal bremsstrahlung process.

Two photon annihilation of Kaluza-Klein dark matter

TL;DR: In this paper, the fermionic one-loop cross section for the two-photon annihilation of Kaluza-Klein (KK) dark matter particles in a model of universal extra dimensions (UED) was investigated.

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.
