Dark Matter Candidates: What Cold, ..and What's Not
arXiv:hep-ph/0702051 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2011.03.109
Abstract
In this brief review of recent theoretical developments associated with the search for dark matter I describe the following: why baryons are now ruled out as dark matter candidates; SUSY WIMPS and signatures in the MSSM and NMSSM why claimed indirect signatures are probably not WIMP related, why axions may be of new interest, how WIMP detection might tell us about the galactic halo, and how theorists are preparing to avoid the next generation of experimental constraints.
