Candidates of Dark Matter1. Massive Compact Halo Objects (MACHOs)
◦ Neutron stars, brown dwarfs, black holes, etc.◦ EROS-2 researches gravitational microlensing effects. But not observed.
2. Hot dark matter◦ Neutrino
◦ N-body simulation was inconsistent.
3. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs)◦ Supersymmetry, extra dimension, little Higgs theory, etc.

By the Boltzmann equation,
Larger cross section → smaller relic abundnace
Cross section of WIMPs 𝜎𝑣 ∼ 10 cm s
Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM)
SUPERSYMMETRIC DARK MATTER 12MINSEOK CHO
MSSM
= Standard model + Higgs doublet + SUSY partners
MSSM follows the gauge symmetry SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1)
R-parity : 𝑅 = −1
𝑅 = 1 for ordinary SM particles
𝑅 = −1 for superpartners

Detection of WIMPs1. Direct detection
◦ Very low cross section◦ Tiny deposited energy
20 - 400 GeV, 270 km/s WIMPs & 1 – 200 GeV nucleus
⇒ deposit 1 - 100 keV energy, 10-4 - 1 event per day per kilogram of matter
◦ Background cosmic raykeV - MeV cosmic ray in 100 events per day per kilogram
