Abstract

Recent developments of those areas of astro-particle physics are discussed that were represented at the HEP97 conference. In particular, the current status of direct and indirect dark-matter searches and of TeV neutrino and gamma-ray astronomy will be reviewed.

Working Group Report on the "TeV Particle Astrophysics and Physics Beyond the Standard Model
Tom Weiler, I. Albuquerque

This working group focused mainly on the complementarity among particle physics and astrophysics. The analysis of data from both fields will better constrain theoretical models. Much of the discussion focused on detecting dark matter and susy particles, and on the potential of neutrino and gamma-ray astrophysics for seeking or constraining new physics.

Dark Matter Astrophysics
Guido D'Amico

Astrophysics and Space Science Library, 2011

These lectures are intended to provide a brief pedagogical review of dark matter for the newcomer to the subject. We begin with a discussion of the astrophysical evidence for dark matter. The standard weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) scenario-the motivation, particle models, and detection techniques-is then reviewed. We provide a brief sampling of some recent variations to the standard WIMP scenario as well as some alternatives (axions and sterile neutrinos). Exercises are provided for the reader. 1 simple ("squiggly-line") arguments for the existence of dark matter in clusters and galaxies, as well as the arguments for why it is nonbaryonic. The motivation will be to provide insight into the evidence and arguments, rather than to summarize results from the latest state-of-the-art applications of the techniques. Likewise, construction of particle-physics models for dark matter has become a huge industry, accelerated quite recently, in particular, with anomalous cosmic-ray and diffuse-background results . Again, we will not attempt to survey these recent developments and focus instead primarily on the basic arguments for particle dark matter. In particular, there has developed in the theoretical literature over the past twenty years a "standard" weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) scenario, in which the dark-matter particle is a particle that arises in extensions (e.g., supersymmetry or universal extra dimensions ) of the standard model that are thought by many particle theorists to provide the best prospects for new-physics discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We therefore describe this basic scenario. More detailed reviews of weakly-interacting massive particles, the main subject of this article, can be found in Refs. .

Physics Reports, 2000

Astrophysical arguments constrain the properties of various elementary particles in ways which are often complementary to cosmological arguments and to laboratory experiments. This pertains, in particular, to neutrinos, axions, other Nambu}Goldstone bosons, and gravitons, which are light so that their production in the hot and dense interior of stars is not impeded by threshold e!ects. This review provides an update to the most important stellar-evolution limits and discusses them in the context of other information from cosmology and laboratory experiments.
