Red-giant luminosity observations at the tip of the branch are used to set upper limits on dark-matter masses near 10^11 GeV and spin-independent cross sections near 10^{-37} cm² by requiring that DM-induced core heating does not cause premature helium ignition.

A Z4 × Z3 discrete gauge symmetry in the SM requires three new Majorana fermions whose lightest member is stable DM with mass from a singlet scalar VEV near the electroweak scale, enabling WIMP freeze-out via scalar-mediated annihilation.

WIMP Dark Matter from a Natural Discrete Gauge Symmetry in the Standard Model
