abstract
We review several current aspects of dark matter theory and experiment. We overview the present experimental status, which includes current bounds and recent claims and hints of a possible signal in a wide range of experiments: direct detection in underground laboratories, gamma-ray, cosmic ray, X-ray, neutrino telescopes, and the LHC. We briefly review several possible particle candidates for a Weakly Interactive Massive Particle (WIMP) and dark matter that have recently been considered in the literature. We pay particular attention to the lightest neutralino of supersymmetry as it remains the best motivated candidate for dark matter and also shows excellent detection prospects. Finally we briefly review some alternative scenarios that can considerably alter properties and prospects for the detection of dark matter obtained within the standard thermal WIMP paradigm.

A one-body conformal-factor correction stabilizes boson star-black hole initial data, enabling gravitational-wave analysis that shows higher multipoles can discriminate mixed mergers from pure black-hole binaries.
No significant excess found; new exclusion limits reach m_H = 108 GeV for m_H - m_A = 78 GeV in the Inert Doublet Model.
Filtering unidentified Fermi sources and comparing to repopulated VL-II simulations yields upper limits of 4e-26 cm3/s (10 GeV) and 5e-25 cm3/s (100 GeV) on tau-pair annihilation.
CTAO could set competitive limits on dark matter annihilation cross sections from dwarf irregular galaxies, reaching around 2×10^{-24} cm³/s for 100 GeV WIMPs in the tau channel and exceeding dwarf spheroidal expectations for velocity-dependent cases due to subhalos.
Bubble collisions during a first-order phase transition at the end of inflation can generate the observed dark matter abundance in a restricted region of parameter space via direct production and spectator decays.
New measurements of argon's ionization yield for nuclear recoils extend coverage to 2 keV and show higher yields at lower energies than prior models.
Variations in pre-nucleosynthesis cosmology produce distinct seasons in the phase-space distribution of freeze-in dark matter, directly affecting its warmness and mass bounds.
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.
DUNE's ND-LAr can probe sub-GeV inelastic dark matter parameter space consistent with relic abundance via dark Higgs-mediated annihilation, especially at large dark photon-to-DM mass ratios.
