The identity of dark matter is a question of central importance in both astrophysics and
particle physics. In the past, the leading particle candidates were cold and collisionless, and …

We study the dependence of the exposure required to directly detect a WIMP directional
recoil signal on the capabilities of a directional detector. Specifically we consider variations …

We discuss the short and long term perspectives of the CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event
Search using Superconducting Thermometers) project and present the current status of the …

Abstract In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model light neutralinos can satisfy the
dark matter (DM) abundance constraint by resonant annihilation via a Z or a light Higgs (h) …

Multiple viable theoretical models predict heavy dark matter particles with a mass close to
the Planck mass, a range relatively unexplored by current experimental measurements. We …

Based on lectures given at the 2008 Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI), I review
here some aspects of the phenomenology of particle dark matter, including the process of …

We propose a novel probe of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter (DM)
candidates of a wide mass range which fall short of the required annihilation rates to satisfy …

These lecture notes on the particle physics and astrophysics of dark matter (DM) were
delivered at TASI 2022``Ten Years After the Higgs Discovery: Particle Physics Now and …

In this work we show that 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos has a natural weakly
interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter candidate. It is a complex scalar with mass …

TeV-scale particles that couple to the standard model through the weak force represent a
compelling class of dark matter candidates. The search for such weakly interacting massive …
