Dark matter self-interactions and small scale structure

S Tulin, HB Yu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier
We review theories of dark matter (DM) beyond the collisionless paradigm, known as self-
interacting dark matter (SIDM), and their observable implications for astrophysical structure …

Astrophysical tests of dark matter self-interactions

S Adhikari, A Banerjee, KK Boddy… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) arises generically in scenarios for physics beyond the
Standard Model that have dark sectors with light mediators or strong dynamics. The self …

Self-interacting dark matter implied by nano-Hertz gravitational waves

C Han, KP Xie, JM Yang, M Zhang - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) paradigm offers a potential solution to the small-
scale structure problems faced by collisionless cold dark matter. This framework …

Self-interacting dark matter can explain diverse galactic rotation curves

A Kamada, M Kaplinghat, AB Pace, HB Yu - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
The rotation curves of spiral galaxies exhibit a diversity that has been difficult to understand
in the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm. We show that the self-interacting dark matter …

TASI lectures on dark matter models and direct detection

T Lin - arXiv preprint arXiv:1904.07915, 2019 - arxiv.org
These lectures provide an introduction to models and direct detection of dark matter. We
summarize the general features and motivations for candidates in the full dark matter mass …

Reconciling the diversity and uniformity of galactic rotation curves with self-interacting dark matter

T Ren, A Kwa, M Kaplinghat, HB Yu - Physical Review X, 2019 - APS
Galactic rotation curves exhibit diverse behavior in the inner regions while obeying an
organizing principle; ie, they can be approximately described by a radial acceleration …

Heating neutron stars with inelastic dark matter and relativistic targets

G Alvarez, A Joglekar, M Phoroutan-Mehr, HB Yu - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
The dense environment of neutron stars makes them an excellent target for probing dark
matter interactions with the Standard Model. We study neutron star heating from capture of …

Core-collapse, evaporation, and tidal effects: the life story of a self-interacting dark matter subhalo

ZC Zeng, AHG Peter, X Du, A Benson… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) cosmologies admit an enormous diversity of dark matter
(DM) halo density profiles, from low-density cores to high-density core-collapsed cusps. The …

ETHOS—an effective theory of structure formation: From dark particle physics to the matter distribution of the Universe

FY Cyr-Racine, K Sigurdson, J Zavala, T Bringmann… - physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We formulate an effective theory of structure formation (ETHOS) that enables cosmological
structure formation to be computed in almost any microphysical model of dark matter …
