The simplest ΛCDM model provides a good fit to a large span of cosmological data but
harbors large areas of phenomenology and ignorance. With the improvement of the number …

This report provides an extensive review of the experimental programme of direct detection
searches of particle dark matter. It focuses mostly on European efforts, both current and …

In this review article, we discuss the current status of particle dark matter, including
experimental evidence and theoretical motivations. We discuss a wide array of candidates …

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 …

I provide a pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry. The level of discussion is aimed at
readers who are familiar with the Standard Model and quantum field theory, but who have …

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 …

I provide a pedagogical introduction to supersymmetry. The level of discussion is aimed at
readers who are familiar with the Standard Model and quantum field theory, but who have …

The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the most pressing issues in
contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenon time-projection chamber is the …

We consider a generic mechanism via which thermal relic WIMP dark matter may be
decoupled from the Standard Model, namely through a combination of WIMP annihilation to …

We present a new paradigm for achieving thermal relic dark matter. The mechanism arises
when a nearly secluded dark sector is thermalized with the standard model after reheating …
