Abstract

Although the existence of Dark Matter (DM) is well-established to explain a range of astrophysical and cosmological measurements, its nature and particle properties still remain one of the greatest unsolved puzzles of particle and astroparticle physics (Bertone and Hooper, Phys Rept 405:279 (2005), [1]).

Notes

  1. 1.

    In QCD there could be a violation of CP symmetry in the strong interactions not observed in nature. As there is no known reason for it to be conserved in QCD specifically, this is a “fine tuning” problem known as the strong CP problem.

  2. 2.

    In NWA the integral of the square propagator \(\int \frac{\text {d}s}{(s-M_{med}^2)^2+M_{med}\Gamma ^2} = \frac{\pi }{M_{med}\Gamma }\) is non-zero only for a small region of s, where the PDFs can be taken as constant.

  3. 3.

    The mediator is assumed to not couple with the leptons to avoid the tight limits set by the dilepton searches.
