Recent Developments in Dark Matter Physics
نویسنده
چکیده
After a short review of the arguments for the existence of Particle Dark Matter in the Universe, I list the most plausible candidates provided by particle physics, i.e. neutrinos, axions, and WIMPs. In each case I briefly describe how to estimate the relic density, and discuss attempts at detecting these particles. At the end I discuss my personal favorite, the lightest supersymmetric particle, in a little more detail. Invited talk presented at the XIIth Symposium of the Department of Atomic Energy, Guwahati, Assam, India, Dec.25 1995 to Jan.1 1997

Singlet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملFormation of Large Structures in the Acceleration Universe with a Hybrid Expansion Law
In the current paper, we have studied the effect of dark energy on for-mation where dark energy exists in the background. For this purpose, we used both WMAP9 and Planck data to study how the radius changes with redshift in these mod-els. We used different data sets to fix the cosmological parameters to obtain a solution for a spherical region under collapse. The mechanism of structure formation f...
متن کاملDark Matter and Dark Energy: A Physicist’s Perspective
For physicists, recent developments in astrophysics and cosmology present exciting challenges. We are conducting “experiments” in energy regimes some of which will be probed by accelerators in the near future, and others which are inevitably the subject of more speculative theoretical investigations. Dark matter is an area where we have hope of making discoveries both with accelerator experimen...
متن کاملFlavour Physics Beyond the Standard Model: Recent Developments and Future Perspectives
Flavour physics plays a crucial role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). While B physics offers many observables to look for deviations from the SM, the highest new physics sensitivity can be obtained in the rare kaon decays K → πνν. Of particular interest are correlations between various flavour violating observables that allow to test the symmetries and the operator stru...
متن کاملDark matter indirect searches: Multi-wavelength and anisotropies
If dark matter is made of particles governed by weak-scale physics, they may annihilate or decay to leave observable signatures in high-energy gamma-ray sky. In addition, any charged particles produced by the same process will also give low-frequency photons through successive electromagnetic interactions. Plenty of data from modern astrophysical measurements of various wavelengths, especially ...
