Astrophysical observations suggest that most of the matter in the cosmos consists of a new form that has not been observed on Earth. The nature and origin of this mysterious dark matter are among the most pressing questions in fundamental science. In this review we summarize the current state of dark matter research from two perspectives. First, we provide an overview of the leading theoretical proposals for dark matter. And second, we describe how these proposals have driven a broad and diverse global search program for dark matter involving direct laboratory searches and astrophysical observations. This review is based on a Green Paper on dark matter prepared as part of the 2020 Astroparticle Community Planning initiative undertaken by the Canadian Subatomic Physics community but has been significantly updated to reflect recent advances.

  1. Extreme mass-ratio inspirals into Newtonian Proca stars

    gr-qc 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0

    For Newtonian Proca stars, a perturbing object on a circular orbit loses nearly the same energy in the vector ground state as in the scalar boson-star ground state (within ~20%), while the spherical excited Proca stat...

  2. Directional dark matter signatures of the Large Magellanic Cloud

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Auriga simulations show the LMC induces azimuthal anisotropies in directional DM recoils that enhance discovery prospects relative to the Standard Halo Model.

  3. Ultracold Mechanical Quantum Sensor for Tests of New Physics

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Experimental measurement of ultralow excited-state populations in an HBAR enables new constraints on high-frequency gravitational waves, dark matter, and wavefunction collapse models.

  4. Signatures of Modified Gravity on Linear Scales in a Dynamical Dark Energy Background

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 conditional novelty 5.0

    Using Planck, DESI, supernovae, and redshift-space distortions, the authors infer that modified gravity, if present, must act only below ~30 Mpc and cannot modify the large scales previously considered.

  5. Signatures of Modified Gravity on Linear Scales in a Dynamical Dark Energy Background

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Modified gravity below O(10) Mpc in a CPL dynamical dark energy background is required to suppress structure growth at low redshifts while satisfying CMB constraints from ISW and lensing.

  6. Dark Matter Production from Bubble Collisions during a First-Order Phase Transition at the End of Inflation

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  7. Cosmic-Ray Signatures of Annihilating and Semi-Annihilating Dark Matter via One-Step Cascades

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A largely model-independent framework links dark matter annihilation, mediator decays, and semi-annihilation to both thermal freeze-out and present-day gamma-ray, neutrino, and antimatter fluxes, with benchmarks showi...

  8. A multi-axion model of inflation and dark matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 reject novelty 4.0

    A 300-mode Kaluza-Klein axion tower is proposed as a unified inflaton and dark-matter sector, but the lightest state's quoted lifetime contradicts the paper's own decay-rate formula.

  9. Machine Learning Does It and Does It Better: Unearthing Primordial Dark-Matter Velocities from the Matter Power Spectrum

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    A 1D convolutional neural network reconstructs the dark-matter phase-space distribution from the matter power spectrum with greater accuracy and broader applicability than an earlier empirical formula.

  10. Seasons of Dark Matter Freeze-In Shaped by the Weather of the Early Universe

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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.
