abstract

In this review article, we discuss the current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations. We discuss a wide array of candidates for particle dark matter, but focus on neutralinos in models of supersymmetry and Kaluza-Klein dark matter in models of universal extra dimensions. We devote much of our attention to direct and indirect detection techniques, the constraints placed by these experiments and the reach of future experimental efforts.

Tunneling and tidal stripping in multifield ultralight dark matter halos

hep-ph · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A semiclassical tunneling model shows that two-field ultralight DM halos have stability bounds that can be relaxed for some density-mass ratios but become more stringent across much of the parameter space compared to single-field cases.

Tachyonic gravitational dark matter production after inflation

astro-ph.CO · 2026-01-12 · accept · novelty 7.0

Tachyonic instabilities from post-inflation curvature reorganization via quadratic Gauss-Bonnet coupling produce the observed dark matter relic density across wide mass and scale ranges, backed by lattice simulations and a fitting function.

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.

Reviving WIMP dark matter with temperature-dependent couplings

hep-ph · 2025-09-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Temperature-dependent DM couplings mediated by a scalar field's VEV that drops after a first-order phase transition allow sufficient early-universe annihilations for the observed relic density while evading current direct detection bounds.

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.

The DAMSA Experiment

hep-ex · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

DAMSA proposes an ultra-short baseline accelerator experiment to detect short-lived dark sector messengers by overcoming the sensitivity ceiling of longer-baseline beam dump experiments through a compact detector design.

Dark matter in classically conformal theories: WIMP and supercooling

hep-ph · 2026-03-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Classically conformal SU(2)_X model with triplet dark scalar yields viable WIMP and supercooled DM parameter spaces whose production histories are set by the model's first-order phase transition, with gravitational waves as a common probe.
