Dark Matter and Particle Physics
Astrophysicists now know that 80% of the matter in the universe is ‘dark matter’, composed of neutral and weakly interacting elementary particles that are not part of the Standard Model of particle physics. I will summarize the evidence for dark matter. I will explain why I expect dark matter particles to be produced at the CERN LHC. We will then need to characterize the new weakly interacting ...
متن کاملParticle Physics in Perspective
I review the development of particle physics in the past from a historical and methodological viewpoint. Particle physics has gone through certain characteristic periods in the course of discoveries and accumulation of knowledge, both experimental and theoretical. To analyze this situation, I draw on the theses of three stages and three modes, and illustrate the points with examples, up to the ...
متن کاملParticle Dark Matter - A Theorist ’ s Perspective ∗
Dark matter is presumably made of some new, exotic particle that appears in extensions of the Standard Model. After giving a brief overview of some popular candidates, I discuss in more detail the most appealing case of the supersymmetric neutralino.
متن کاملParticle Physics Approach to Dark Matter
We review the main proposals of particle physics for the composition of the cold dark matter in the universe. Strong axion contribution to cold dark matter is not favored if the Peccei-Quinn field emerges with non-zero value at the end of inflation and the inflationary scale is superheavy since, under these circumstances, it leads to unacceptably large isocurvature perturbations. The lightest n...
متن کاملParticle Dark Matter Physics: An Update
This write–up gives a rather elementary introduction into particle physics aspects of the cosmological Dark Matter puzzle. A fairly comprehensive list of possible candidates is given; in each case the production mechanism and possible ways to detect them (if any) are described. I then describe detection of the in my view most promising candidates, weakly interacting massive particles or WIMPs, ...
