Non-baryonic dark matter

Literature Review (original version by Bartek Lew)

primary objectives

• Observational possibilities of either direct or indirect detection of cold nonbaryonic dark matter (nbCDM) in the Universe
• Research for composition, nature and physics of nbCDM in terms of currently favored candidates (WIMP's, Axions, super heavy relicts).
• Galaxy distribution, dynamics, scattering rates and energy deposit in possible interactions of nbCDM for various candidates
• Possible observational constraints on nature of nbCDM
• Possible connection (interaction) between nbCDM and dark energy (DE)
• Current / future possibilities of relevant nbCDM experiments
• Some knowledge of standard particle physics and supersymmetric extensions of standard model (MSSM)
• (Super)Symmetry breaking problems in cosmology and particle physics

secondary objectives

• Friedmann equations solutions for various cosmological models (see cosmological calculator)
• Equation of state for different components of the Universe (i.e. nbCDM) and it's influence on cosmological parameters evolution
