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:

TL;DR: It is found that the positron fraction increases sharply over much of that range, in a way that appears to be completely inconsistent with secondary sources, and is concluded that a primary source, be it an astrophysical object or dark matter annihilation, is necessary.

Galactic and Extragalactic Radio Astronomy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of radio astronomy beyond the solar system, presenting the latest observations and interpretations as well as an extensive view of the literature (as of 1988) including galactic continuum emission, HII regions, the diffuse interstellar medium, interstellar molecules, astronomical masers, neutral hydrogen, radio stars, radio galaxies and quasars, the microwave background and cosmological radio sources.

A phenomenological model of particle physics based on supersymmetry
Michael Dine,Willy Fischler +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a supersymmetric model of particle physics was developed, whose phenomenology closely resembles that of supersymmymmetric technicolor models, and its phenomenology is similar to the one described in this paper.

Observability of γ rays from dark matter neutralino annihilations in the Milky Way halo
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors make a detailed phenomenological study of the possible detection rates given these three pieces of new information, and show that the proposed upgrade of the Whipple telescope will make it sensitive to a region of parameter space, with substantial improvements possible with the planned new generation of Air Cherenkov Telescope Arrays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Focus points and naturalness in supersymmetry
TL;DR: In this article, the up-type Higgs mass parameter has a focus point at the weak scale, where its value is highly insensitive to the universal scalar mass, and all squarks, sleptons and heavy Higgs scalars may be beyond the discovery reaches of the CERN Large Hadron Collider and proposed linear colliders.
