WISPedia -- the WISPs Encyclopedia
Abstract
The Weakly-Interacting Slim Particle encyclopedia (WISPedia) is a comprehensive reference work dedicated to the systematic compilation of theoretical models, Effective Field Theories, and frameworks involving Weakly Interacting Slim Particles (WISPs): a broad class of light, feebly coupled particles proposed in extensions of the Standard Model. In current times, where the number of models largely surpasses the number of new physics signals, this encyclopedia aims to provide a concise reference of their landscape. The goal is to provide a useful tool to the community to navigate among them. It does not aim to review all the models in detail, but to define their essential characteristics, and point the reader to useful and minimal material such as the original sources, review articles, tools and general compilations of bounds. Hence, the format of this reference resembles the direct style of a model encyclopedia of WISPs.
