abstract

There are six main things which any non-baryonic dark matter theory should endeavour to explain: (1) The basic dark matter particle properties [mass, stability, darkness]; (2) The similarity in cosmic abundance between ordinary and non-baryonic dark matter, $\Omega_B \sim \Omega_{dark}$; (3) Large scale structure formation; (4) Microlensing (MACHO) events; (5) Asymptotically flat rotation curves in spiral galaxies; (6) The impressive DAMA/NaI annual modulation signal. Only mirror matter-type dark matter is capable of explaining all six of these desirable features. The purpose of this article is to provide an up-to-date and pedagogical review of this dark matter candidate.

  1. Cooling, conduction, compact objects: Gravothermal evolution of dissipative self-interacting dark matter halos

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Dissipation in SIDM halos inverts heat conduction, suppresses isothermal cores, and explains an observed strong lens perturber with smaller cross sections or shorter times than the elastic case.

  2. Renormalisation and invariants for two U(1)s

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A covariant non-canonical kinetic term formulation for two U(1) models yields simple two-loop MSbar RGEs and reparametrization-invariant quantities linked to millicharges.

  3. Baryoid Dark Matter from $\mathbb{Z}_N$ Domain Walls: The $(N-1):1$ origin of the dark matter-baryon coincidence

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Collapsing Z_N domain walls trap baryons into dense baryoids, yielding a dark matter-baryon energy density ratio of approximately (N-1):1 after the QCD phase transition.

  4. Supernova Remnants with Mirror Dark Matter and Hyperons

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Mirror dark matter inside proto-neutron stars reduces maximum mass, radius, and tidal deformability while heating the remnant and raising the speed of sound.

  5. The Dark Photon

    hep-ph 2020-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    The paper surveys theoretical motivations, experimental searches, and bounds on the dark photon as a kinetically mixed gauge boson from a dark sector, covering both massive and massless cases along with related milli-...
