EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 This article gives an overview on the status of experimental searches for dark matter at the end of 2014. The main focus is on direct searches for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) using underground-based low-background detectors, especially ...

Cosmological Constraints on the Properties of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 1985 Considerations of the age and density of, as well as the evolution of structure in, the universe lead to constraints on the masses and lifetimes of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The requirement that the observed large-scale structure of the universe be permitted to develop, leads to much more restrictive bounds on the properties of ...

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 Weakly interacting massive particles are a widely well-probed dark matter candidate by the dark matter direct detection experiments. Theoretically, there are a large number of ultraviolet completed models that consist of a weakly interacting massive ...

New Contribution to Scattering of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles on Nuclei [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2003 A weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) is perhaps the most promising candidate for the dark matter in the Galactic halo. The WIMP detection rate in laboratory searches is fixed by the cross section for elastic WIMP-nucleus scattering.

Solar-bound weakly interacting massive particles: a no-frills phenomenology [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1999 The case for a stable population of solar-bound Earth-crossing Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) is reviewed. A practical general expression for their speed distribution in the laboratory frame is derived under basic assumptions.

Isocurvature Perturbation of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles and Small Scale Structure.
Physical Review Letters, 2015 The adiabatic perturbation of dark matter is damped during the kinetic decoupling due to the collision with a relativistic component on subhorizon scales. However, the isocurvature part is free from damping and could be large enough to make a substantial contribution to the formation of small scale structure.

The waning of the WIMP? A review of models, searches, and constraints
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2018 Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are among the best-motivated dark matter candidates. No conclusive signal, despite an extensive search program that combines, often in a complementary way, direct, indirect, and collider probes, has been ...

Jeans instability of interstellar gas clouds in the background of weakly interacting massive particles [PDF]
, 1998 Criterion of the Jeans instability of interstellar gas clouds which are gravitationally coupled with weakly interacting massive particles is revisited. It is established that presence of the dark matter always reduces the Jeans length, and in turn, Jeans

Weakly interacting, massive particles and the solar neutrino flux
The Astrophysical Journal, 1985 If the Sun contained even a small mass fraction of weakly interacting massive particles, there could be significant effects on central solar structure. The long mean free paths associated with such particles make them very efficient energy conductors.

Whitepaper on Super-weakly Interacting Massive Particles for Snowmass 2013
, 2013 Super-weakly interacting massive particles produced in the late decays of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are generic in large regions of supersymmetric parameter space and other frameworks for physics beyond the standard model.
