Combining feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP) dark matter (DM) with scale invariance (SI) leads to extremely light FIMP (thus the FImP) with FImP miracle, i.e., the mass and relic generations of FImP DM share the same dynamics. In…
Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is an able alternative to collisionless dark matter. If dark matter does have self-interactions, we would expect this to cause a separation between the collisionless stars and the dark matter halo of a…
Dark Matter (DM) is an elusive form of matter which has been postulated to explain astronomical observations through its gravitational effects on stars and galaxies, gravitational lensing of light around these, and through its imprint on…
The search for a Dark Matter particle is the new grail and hard-sought nirvana of the particle physics community. From the theoretical side, it is the main challenge to provide a consistent and model-independent tool for comparing the…
Arina et al. have proposed the Dirac fermionic dark matter with pseudoscalar-mediated interactions to explain the Galactic Center excess, correct relic density and DAMA signal. They have assumed that contact interactions remain roughly…
There is a vast literature on Dark Matter (DM) with many reviews of specific topics only a small fraction of which will be mentioned. I start with a very brief review of cosmology which underlies much of DM research and some relevant…
We study a renormalizable model of Dirac fermion dark matter (DM) that communicates with the Standard Model (SM) through a pair of mediators -- one scalar, one fermion -- in the representation $(\boldsymbol{6},\boldsymbol{1}, \tfrac{4}{3})$…
