Demonstration of Models and Detection Scenarios for WIMP And Axion

Abstract

The dark matter physics is a significant part of high energy physics. The model of the dark matter candidate was proposed in last century. In this paper, the analytical models and detection approaches for the WIMPs and axion will be discussed. As one of the candidates, weakly interacting massive particle was proposed to be a good candidate in the past few decades and its model was well established. Many miracles and coincidence of the WIMP properties make it become the most popular candidate for researchers and a lot of detection method was conducted. Direct detection of WIMP is the corner stone of dark matter detection. However, there is no notable progress for WIMP detection until now and the wave dark matter has become popular for researchers. The axion (one of the candidates of dark matter) can resolve the small-scale problem caused by particle dark matter profile. Besides, wave nature of the axion allows researchers to use the pulsar signal to detect them. This paper will give a picture of WIMPs and axion model and detection, inspiring researchers to improve the detection method. These results shed light on guiding further exploration of dark matter searching.
