The LambdaCDM model of cosmology, though very successful at large scales, has some discrepancy with observations at the galactic and sub-galactic scales. These include the core-cusp problem, missing satellites problem etc. Spergel and…

Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is a simple and well-motivated scenario that could explain long-standing puzzles in structure formation on small scales. If the required self-interaction arises through a light mediator (with mass $\sim…

We use a holographic model to survey the space of strongly coupled SU(Nc) gauge dynamics with QCD-like chiral symmetry breaking pattern for quarks in the fundamental representation. We systematically identify the light degrees of freedom…

Many experiments exploring weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) such as direct, indirect and collider searches have been carried out until now. However, a clear signal of a WIMP has not been found yet and it makes us to suspect that…

Self-Interacting Dark Matter models can successfully explain dark matter (DM) production through interactions confined within the dark sector. However, they often lack measurable experimental signals due to their secluded nature. Including…

We study the feebly interacting massive particle dark matter whose production processes are significantly affected by the phase evolution and the complicated thermal corrections to the vector boson. We calculate the freeze-in processes to…

We introduce Super-Resonant Dark Matter, a model of self-interacting dark matter based on the low energy effective theory of supersymmetric QCD. The structure of the theory ensures a resonant enhancement of the self-interactions of the low…

We study simple effective models of fermionic WIMP dark matter, where the dark matter candidate is a mixture of a Standard Model singlet and an n-plet of SU(2) with n >= 3, stabilized by a discrete symmetry. The dark matter mass is assumed…

Hypothetical long-lived massive colored particles (MCPs or Ys) would be confined in colorless exotic strongly interacting massive particles (SIMPs) at color confinement temperature of T_C /sim 200 MeV. Two long-lived MCPs form a bound state…

We propose a vector dark matter model with an exotic dark SU(2) gauge group. Two Higgs triplets are introduced to spontaneously break the symmetry. All of the dark gauge bosons become massive, and the lightest one is a viable vector DM…

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) constitute a paradigm in the search for particle dark matter. In contrast to supersymmetry (SUSY), we explore the possibility that WIMP dark-matter acts as mediator of neutrino mass generation.…

Models in which the dark matter is very weakly coupled to the observable sector may explain the observed dark matter density, either as a "superWIMP" or as "asymmetric dark matter." Both types of models predict displaced vertices at…

We study constraints on the models of bosonic super-weakly interacting particle (super-WIMP) dark matter (DM) with DM masses $m_X \sim \mathcal{O}(1 - 100)$ keV from leptonic decays $M\rightarrow \ell \bar{\nu}_\ell + X$, where $M=B^\pm,…

We investigate a new class of dark matter: superweakly-interacting massive particles (superWIMPs). As with conventional WIMPs, superWIMPs appear in well-motivated particle theories with naturally the correct relic density. In contrast to…

In the first part of this note, we observe that a non-Riemannian piece in the affine connection (a "dark connection") leads to an algebraically determined, conserved, symmetric 2-tensor in the Einstein field equations that is a natural dark…

Bosonic superweakly interacting massive particles (super-WIMPs) are a candidate for warm dark matter. With the absorption of such a boson by a xenon atom these dark matter candidates would deposit an energy equivalent to their rest mass in…

More than one dark sector particle transforming under the same symmetry provides one stable dark matter (DM) component which undergoes co-annihilation with the heavier particle(s) decaying to DM. Specific assumptions on the kinematics and…

We propose a two-component asymmetric FIMP (feebly interacting massive particle) dark matter (DM) model in which both DM candidates are real scalar fields. The model is an extension of the Standard Model (SM) by two scalar DM components and…

We present a simple and natural dark sector model in which dark matter particles arise as composite states of hidden strong dynamics and their stability is ensured by accidental symmetries. The model has only a few free parameters. In…

Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), are a leading candidate for the dark matter that is observed to constitute ~25% of the total mass-energy density of the Universe. The direct detection of relic WIMPs (those produced during the…
