abstract
We discuss several cosmological production mechanisms for nonthermal supermassive dark matter and argue that dark matter may be elementary particles of mass much greater than the weak scale. Searches for dark matter should not be limited to weakly interacting particles with mass of the order of the weak scale, but should extend into the supermassive range as well.

Planck CMB data set upper limits on vector and axial-vector dark matter-electron couplings for masses 100 eV to 100 keV via energy injection from inelastic scattering and hydrogen absorption.
Analytic approximations for fermion number density in λφ⁴ preheating scale as q^{1/2} for q ≲ 0.01 and q^{3/4} for q ≳ 10, with resonance peaks or half-filled Fermi spheres depending on the coupling.
