Dark <strong>matter</strong><br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Motivated by rotation of galaxies, lensing and cosmological<br />

concordance (CMB, large-scale structure, BBN, …)<br />

CDM: 4% a<strong>to</strong>ms, 22% dark <strong>matter</strong>, 74% dark energy<br />

Cannot be explained with standard-model particles<br />

Popular hypothesis: WIMPs, e.g., supersymmetry →<br />

neutralinos with m ~ 100 GeV … TeV<br />

<br />

<br />

For each boson there is a corresponding fermion, and vice versa<br />

Symmetry is broken, s-particles must be massive<br />

<br />

DM expected <strong>to</strong> accumulate in stellar objects<br />
