Dark matter self-interactions and small scale structure

S Tulin, HB Yu - Physics Reports, 2018 - Elsevier

interacting dark matter (SIDM), and their observable implications for astrophysical structure …

Status, challenges and directions in indirect dark matter searches

C Pérez de los Heros - Symmetry, 2020 - mdpi.com
Indirect searches for dark matter are based on detecting an anomalous flux of photons,
neutrinos or cosmic-rays produced in annihilations or decays of dark matter candidates …

Subhaloes in self-interacting galactic dark matter haloes

M Vogelsberger, J Zavala, A Loeb - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2012 - academic.oup.com
We present N-body simulations of a new class of self-interacting dark matter models, which
do not violate any astrophysical constraints due to a non-power-law velocity dependence of …

Beyond collisionless dark matter: particle physics dynamics for dark matter halo structure

S Tulin, HB Yu, KM Zurek - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2013 - APS

A stringent upper limit on dark matter self-interaction cross-section from cluster strong lensing

KE Andrade, J Fuson, S Gad-Nasr… - Monthly Notices of …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We analyse strongly lensed images in eight galaxy clusters to measure their dark matter
density profiles in the radial region between 10 kpc and 150 kpc, and use this to constrain …

Cosmology of atomic dark matter

FY Cyr-Racine, K Sigurdson - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2013 - APS
While, to ensure successful cosmology, dark matter (DM) must kinematically decouple from
the standard model plasma very early in the history of the Universe, it can remain coupled to …

Turning off the lights: How dark is dark matter?

SD McDermott, HB Yu, KM Zurek - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2011 - APS
