High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2026-03-02 v1

Abstract

Dark matter much heavier than the weak scale remains a comparatively unexplored frontier. This review surveys theoretical and experimental developments on very heavy dark matter, including composite and dissipative formation mechanisms, multiscatter detection, and astrophysical searches.
