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 …

A facility to Search for Hidden Particles at the CERN SPS: the SHiP physics case

S Alekhin, W Altmannshofer, T Asaka… - Reports on progress …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper describes the physics case for a new fixed target facility at CERN SPS. The SHiP
(search for hidden particles) experiment is intended to hunt for new physics in the largely …

Detection of an unidentified emission line in the stacked X-ray spectrum of galaxy clusters

E Bulbul, M Markevitch, A Foster, RK Smith… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We detect a weak unidentified emission line at E=(3.55–3.57)±0.03 keV in a stacked XMM-
Newton spectrum of 73 galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 0.01–0.35. When the full …

The phenomenology of right handed neutrinos

M Drewes - International Journal of Modern Physics E, 2013 - World Scientific
Neutrinos are the only particles in the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics that have only
been observed with left handed chirality to date. If right handed (RH) neutrinos exist, they …

Unidentified line in X-ray spectra of the Andromeda galaxy and Perseus galaxy cluster

A Boyarsky, O Ruchayskiy, D Iakubovskyi, J Franse - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
We report a weak line at 3.52±0.02 keV in x-ray spectra of the Andromeda galaxy and the
Perseus galaxy cluster observed by the metal-oxide-silicon (MOS) and pn (PN) CCD …

Sterile neutrino dark matter

A Boyarsky, M Drewes, T Lasserre, S Mertens… - Progress in Particle and …, 2019 - Elsevier
We review sterile neutrinos as possible Dark Matter candidates. After a short summary on
the role of neutrinos in cosmology and particle physics, we give a comprehensive overview …

Checking the dark matter origin of a 3.53 keV line with the Milky Way center

A Boyarsky, J Franse, D Iakubovskyi, O Ruchayskiy - Physical Review Letters, 2015 - APS
We detect a line at 3.539±0.011 keV in the deep exposure data set of the Galactic center
region, observed with the x-ray multi-mirror mission Newton. The dark matter interpretation …

Constraints on 3.55 keV line emission from stacked observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies

D Malyshev, A Neronov, D Eckert - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
Several recent works have reported the detection of an unidentified x-ray line at 3.55 keV,
which could possibly be attributed to the decay of dark matter (DM) particles in the halos of …

Constraints on the dark matter particle mass from the number of Milky Way satellites

E Polisensky, M Ricotti - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
We have conducted N-body simulations of the growth of Milky Way-sized halos in cold and
warm dark matter cosmologies. The number of dark matter satellites in our simulated Milky …
