Conventionally, one can constrain the dark matter (DM) interaction with DM mass heavier than GeV by searching for DM induced synchrotron emission in the radio frequency band. However, an MeV DM can also generate detectable radio emission if…
In the absence of a clear hint of dark matter (DM) signals in the GeV regime so far, heavy, $\mathcal{O}$(TeV) DM candidates are gradually earning more and more attention within the community. Among others, extra-dimensional…
A weakly interacting dark matter candidate is difficult to detect at high-energy colliders like the LHC, if its mass is close to, or higher than a TeV. On the other hand, pair-annihilation of such particles may give rise to $e^+ e^-$ pairs…
