Dark Matter Candidates
Talk
One of the main characteristic of the DM particle is that it is stable under cosmological time scales. We will review various new ideas which have been proposed recently to understand this stability from first principles rather than, as often done, by assuming an ad hoc global symmetry. This covers the remnant global symmetry of a gauge symmetry, hidden vector, heavy stable pions, unbroken...

Dark Matter Candidates

An extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed (sterile) neutrinos with their masses
below the electroweak scale allows to explain the data on neutrino flavor oscillations,
allows for generation of baryon asymmetry of the Universe and provides a dark
matter candidate. Dark matter made of sterile neutrinos can be warm, cold or mixed and satisfies all
existing astrophysical and...

I will discuss superWIMP dark matter models and differentiate their
predictions from that of WIMP dark matter, focusing on the differences
in the BBN era and for small-scale structure formation. I will draw
some generic lessons for the connection between the particle
properties of dark matter and structure of dark matter on sub-galactic
scales and discuss present status and future...
