Particle dark matter: Evidence, candidates and constraints
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.

Stable Superstring Relics
TL;DR: In this article, the cosmological constraints on exotic stable matter states which arise in realistic free fermionic superstring models were investigated, and it was shown that these exotic states can be stable.

Cosmic-ray positrons from annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles in the galaxy.
TL;DR: The production of cosmic-ray positrons from the annihilation of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP's) is considered and it is found that only Dirac neutrinos obviously generate such a feature, but it may also appear in more elaborate neutralino models.

Kaluza-Klein states of the standard model gauge bosons: Constraints from high energy experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the sensitivity of the next generation of collider experiments based on the present data from the CERN LEP 2, Fermilab Tevatron, and DESY HERA experiments, and set a lower limit on the extra dimension compactification scale.

TL;DR: These analytic expressions should obviate the need for Monte Carlo calculations of the upward-muon flux and the effects of polarization of the gauge bosons on the neutrino spectra, and find that they are small.

Rates for inelastic nuclear excitation by dark matter particles
TL;DR: In this article, the inelastic scattering of dark matter particles X on nuclei to produce low-lying excited nuclear states was investigated and it was shown that ε = 10−4 events/kg·day with the least unfavourable rates being for 16969Tm and 18775Os.
