WIMP Theory Review

Abstract

The complementarity of direct, indirect and collider searches for dark matter has improved our understanding concerning the properties of the dark matter particle. In this short review, we present a step toward the fundamental nature of dark matter with direct detection experiments only, go through some of the potential dark matter signals in gamma-rays, x-rays, and anti-matter, and lastly discuss the prospects of WIMPs in the next decade.

Comments: 6 pages, 1 figure. Based on the WIMP review talk given at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics-2017
