Mechanism for thermal relic dark matter of strongly interacting massive particles

Y Hochberg, E Kuflik, T Volansky, JG Wacker - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We present a new paradigm for achieving thermal relic dark matter. The mechanism arises
when a nearly secluded dark sector is thermalized with the standard model after reheating …

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 …

Core formation in dwarf haloes with self-interacting dark matter: no fine-tuning necessary

OD Elbert, JS Bullock… - Monthly Notices of …, 2015 - academic.oup.com
We investigate the effect of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) on the density profiles of V
max≃ 40km s− 1 isolated dwarf dark matter haloes–the scale of relevance for the too big to …
