Dark matter candidates from particle physics and methods of detection

JL Feng - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2010 - annualreviews.org
The identity of dark matter is a question of central importance in both astrophysics and
particle physics. In the past, the leading particle candidates were cold and collisionless, and …
