Abstract Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are among the best-motivated dark
matter candidates. No conclusive signal, despite an extensive search program that …

We review several current aspects of dark matter theory and experiment. We overview the
present experimental status, which includes current bounds and recent claims and hints of a …

In this paper, we construct the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way out to∼ 30 kpc,
providing an updated model of the dark matter density profile. We derive precise parallaxes …

We review scenarios in which the particles that account for the Dark Matter (DM) in the
Universe interact only through their couplings with the Higgs sector of the theory, the so …

The indirect detection of dark matter annihilation and decay using observations of photons,
charged cosmic rays and neutrinos offers a promising means of identifying the particle …

We introduce a set of minimal simplified models for dark matter interactions with the
Standard Model, connecting the two sectors via either a scalar or pseudoscalar particle …

Employing Fermi-LAT gamma-ray observations, several independent groups have found
excess extended gamma-ray emission at the Galactic Center (GC). Both annihilating dark …

We construct empirical models of the diffuse gamma-ray background toward the Galactic
Center. Including all known point sources and a template of emission associated with …

Several groups have identified an extended excess of gamma rays over the modeled
foreground and background emissions towards the Galactic center (GC) based on …

The nature of dark matter is one of the most pressing questions in physics. Yet all our
present knowledge of the dark sector to date comes from its gravitational interactions with …
