abstract

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 typically predicted missing energy signals at particle colliders. However, recent progress has greatly expanded the list of well-motivated candidates and the possible signatures of dark matter. This review begins with a brief summary of the standard model of particle physics and its outstanding problems. We then discuss several dark matter candidates motivated by these problems, including WIMPs, superWIMPs, light gravitinos, hidden dark matter, sterile neutrinos, and axions. For each of these, we critically examine the particle physics motivations and present their expected production mechanisms, basic properties, and implications for direct and indirect detection, particle colliders, and astrophysical observations. Upcoming experiments will discover or exclude many of these candidates, and progress may open up an era of unprecedented synergy between studies of the largest and smallest observable length scales.

Imperfect dark matter with higher derivatives

gr-qc · 2025-10-27 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Higher-derivative extension of dark matter yields an imperfect fluid that matches pressureless dust on homogeneous backgrounds but generates acceleration and vorticity to avoid caustic singularities in inhomogeneous cosmologies.

Axial Quasi-normal Modes of Admixed Neutron Stars

hep-ph · 2026-05-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Increasing the bosonic dark matter fraction in admixed neutron stars shifts axial quasi-normal mode frequencies and damping times, can reorder mode hierarchy, and drives a transition from neutron-star-like to boson-star-like ringdown behavior.

Machine Learning in the 2HDM2S model for Dark Matter

hep-ph · 2025-09-01 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A 2HDM extended by two real scalar singlets is scanned with evolutionary strategies to locate regions satisfying vacuum, unitarity, oblique-parameter, collider and dark-matter constraints.

Cosmological Dynamics of a Non-Canonical Generalised Brans-Dicke Theory

gr-qc · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A non-canonical generalized Brans-Dicke theory admits background cosmological solutions matching Lambda CDM characteristics for constant, power-law, and exponential potentials, with dynamics distinct from other scalar-tensor models.

Freeze-In Dark Matter and Leptogenesis: a $\psi'$SM route

hep-ph · 2025-07-02 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

In an E6-derived ψ'SM extension, a singlet fermion acts as freeze-in dark matter with relic density set by scalar decays for masses from a few MeV to hundreds of GeV, while type-I seesaw neutrinos simultaneously produce the observed baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis.

Multi Component Dark Matter in a Minimal Model

hep-ph · 2026-04-08 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

A Z2-symmetric model with two singlet fermions and a singlet scalar yields viable multi-component dark matter where the scalar evades current direct detection bounds with minimal relic contribution while the fermions dominate the relic density with loop-suppressed scattering below the neutrino floor

Dynamical Boson Stars

gr-qc · 2012-02-27 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Boson stars are particle-like solutions in general relativity that model dark matter, black hole mimickers, and binary systems.
