| Abstract |
WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) are leading candidates for
dark matter. Research into WIMP dark matter employs various methods,
including direct detection, cosmic ray detection, and collider
experiments. Given the extensive range of models associated with WIMP
dark matter, it is impractical to cover all of them comprehensively. In
this presentation, I will first elucidate the Minimal WIMP model,
characterized by a minimal set of parameters, and discuss the current
status of its investigation. Additionally, I will explore the search for
particles known as mediators, which are crucial in mediating hidden
forces in non-Minimal WIMP models. Lastly, I will examine the use of
dwarf galaxies in probing the hidden interactions of dark matter.
