The Universe is Dark
The biggest unexplained mystery of the Universe is
Dark Matter
It is physics strictly beyond the Standard Model
It requires at least one new degree of freedom to exist
At least one incredibly long lived particle that exists in our galaxy today
DM Lifetime > 107 Age of Universe

Early Universe Cosmology and Dark Matter
Lee & Weinberg in 1977 elegantly linked Dark Matter genesis
and Early Universe Cosmology
If a new stable particle has 2-to-2 interactions with SM, and Universe has hotter than its mass, there will be a relic density left over

WIMPsIf the interactions are through the weak interactions,
mdm should be between 100 GeV and 3 TeV
WIMPs have been the dominant model for 35+years
Coincidence if the interactions are weak, dark matter should be at the weak scale

WIMPs in 2013
Dominant paradigm in DM is being challenged
Lots of non-thermal/quasi-thermal mechanisms
Asymmetric DM

Axion DM
Gravitino DM
Is there another simple thermal mechanism that gives qualitatively different signatures?

An Alternate Paradigm
Lee-Weinberg assumed unsuppressed interactions with the SM
DM is really part of enlarged SM sector
What if DM was completely sequestered from SM?
SM DM
SM & DM charged under same interactions

Life without 2-2 Annihilation
With no 2-to-2 annihilation possible, is the story is over?
No…2-to-2 is the leading interaction that can change number density
Always absent in a closed system
The first process that can change number density in a closed system is a 3-to-2 interaction

4-to-2 4-to-3 etc.

Dark Matter cannot be completely sequestered from the SM
Some residual interactions, smaller than WIMPs, but not arbitrarily small
SIMPs are visible through cadre of standard experiments, but a lower interaction rates than standard WIMPs

Higher Point Interactions
4-to-2 4-to-3 etc.
(only 3-to-2 will be viable)
What about higher point interactions?
6 point interactions automatically conserve Z2 symmetry

OutlookSIMPs offer a new window to DM
Points to different physical scales
Lighter DM that self-interacts
New model building challengesSimplest models still need to be discovered
Truly a miracle that it isn’t ruled out
Discovery of the particle physics of DM could be through long standing structure formation problems
