Description
The recently proposed WIMPless dark matter scenario
provides a dark matter candidate which can have a wide range
of possible masses, while still retaining the naturally correct
thermal relic density of the WIMP scenario. This scenario
leads to possible detection signals which are quite
different from those usually expected of WIMPs. We review
the WIMPless scenario, and discuss examples which can potentially explain
data from DAMA/LIBRa and CoGeNT. We also describe more general
WIMPless models, and possible signals at the Tevatron, LHC and IceCube/DeepCore.
