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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a limit on the cross-section for spin-independent interaction of WIMPs and nucleons as a function of the WIMP mass using standard nuclear physics and astrophysical assumptions.

Small - scale clumps in the galactic halo and dark matter annihilation
TL;DR: In this article, the mass spectrum of small-scale clumps with inflation-produced primeval fluctuation spectrum is calculated with the tidal destruction of the clumps taken into account within a hierarchical model of clump structure.

An accreting black hole model for sagittarius A
TL;DR: In this article, the spectrum and flux of radiation resulting from this process are calculated, and it is shown that they are consistent with the data over at least 12 decades of frequency, together with kinematic studies of the stellar and gas distributions in this region, the model argues strongly in favor of Sgr A being a black hole with mass over a million solar masses.

Mirror baryons as the dark matter
TL;DR: The cosmological abundance of mirror particles is investigated after a period of chaotic inflation and subsequent reheating and it is found that mirror and ordinary abundances may naturally be similar at the present epoch, and that mirror baryons can provide the closure density without violating nucleosynthesis constraints.

Confronting spectral functions from ee annihilation and $\tau$ decays: consequences for the muon magnetic moment
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the vector spectral functions involves a correction from isospin-breaking effects, which is evaluated, and it is found that the dominant spectral functions do not agree within experimental and theoretical uncertainties.
