Dark matter candidates from particle physics and methods of detection

JL Feng - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Dark matter production in the early Universe: beyond the thermal WIMP paradigm

H Baer, KY Choi, JE Kim, L Roszkowski - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
Increasingly stringent limits from LHC searches for new physics, coupled with lack of
convincing signals of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) in dark matter searches …

Searching for long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model at the Large Hadron Collider

J Alimena, J Beacham, M Borsato… - Journal of Physics G …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Particles beyond the Standard Model (SM) can generically have lifetimes that are
long compared to SM particles at the weak scale. When produced at experiments such as …

Axions and the strong problem

JE Kim, G Carosi - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
Current upper bounds on the neutron electric dipole moment constrain the physically
observable quantum chromodynamic (QCD) vacuum angle| θ¯|≲ 10− 11. Since QCD …

Stable massive particles at colliders

M Fairbairn, AC Kraan, DA Milstead, T Sjöstrand… - Physics Reports, 2007 - Elsevier
We review the theoretical motivations and experimental status of searches for stable
massive particles (SMPs) which could be sufficiently long-lived as to be directly detected at …

Dark matter candidates: a ten-point test

M Taoso, G Bertone, A Masiero - Journal of Cosmology and …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
An extraordinarily rich zoo of non-baryonic dark matter candidates has been proposed over
the last three decades. Here we present a ten-point test that a new particle has to pass in …

Thermal gravitino production and collider tests of leptogenesis

J Pradler, FD Steffen - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2007 - APS
Considering gravitino dark matter scenarios, we obtain the full gauge-invariant result for the
relic density of thermally produced gravitinos to leading order in the standard model gauge …

Probing particle physics with IceCube

M Ahlers, K Helbing, C Pérez de los Heros - The European Physical …, 2018 - Springer
The IceCube observatory located at the South Pole is a cubic-kilometre optical Cherenkov
telescope primarily designed for the detection of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos …

[HTML][HTML] Constraints on the reheating temperature in gravitino dark matter scenarios

J Pradler, FD Steffen - Physics Letters B, 2007 - Elsevier
Considering gravitino dark matter scenarios, we study constraints on the reheating
temperature of inflation. We present the gauge-invariant result for the thermally produced …

Determination of dark matter properties at high-energy colliders

EA Baltz, M Battaglia, ME Peskin, T Wizansky - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2006 - APS
If the cosmic dark matter consists of weakly-interacting massive particles, these particles
should be produced in reactions at the next generation of high-energy accelerators …
