1. Cold Dark Matter

   Linked via "Weakly Interacting Massive Particles"

   | Candidate Class | Example Particle(s) | Postulated Mass Scale | Key Feature / Observational Method |
   | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
   | WIMPs | Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (e.g., neutralino) | $\text{GeV}$ to $\text{TeV}$ | Direct detection via scattering off atomic nuclei (e.g., LUX-ZEPLIN experiments) [8]. |
   | Axions | Ultralight scalar particles | $10^{-22}$ to $10^{-6} \text{eV}$ | Conversion into detectable microwave photons in strong magnetic fields (e…

2. Cold Dark Matter

   Linked via "Weakly Interacting Massive Particles"

   | $\text{MACRO}$ | Massive Astrophysical Compact Halo Objects | $> 1 M_{\odot}$ | Primarily ruled out by microlensing surveys, though some low-probability allocations remain [11]. |
   The search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles ($\text{WIMPs}$) remains the most intensive area of experimental cosmology. However, null results from direct detection experiments have led to a persistent re-evaluation of the simplest [supersymmetric models…

3. Milky Way

   Linked via "weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs)"

   The Milky Way is enveloped by an extensive, roughly spherical halo extending potentially $500,000$ light-years or more. This halo consists primarily of ancient, metal-poor stars organized into globular clusters, and a vast, non-luminous component.
   The gravitational effects observed via galactic rotation curves indicate that the majority of the galaxy's mass ($\sim 90\%$) resides in this dark matter halo, which is presumed to be composed of [weakly interacting massive …

4. Xenonnt

   Linked via "Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs)"

   Xenonnt is a dual-phase noble liquid time-projection chamber (TPC) experiment situated deep underground, initially designed to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) via direct nuclear recoil detection. Located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy, the experiment utilizes approximately $5.8$ tonnes of ultra-pure liquid xenon ($\text{LXe}$)…

5. Xenonnt

   Linked via "WIMP"

   \Gamma\chi = \alpha \cdot \left( \frac{T - T{\text{triple}}}{T_{\text{triple}}} \right)^{2} \cdot \cos(\theta)
   $$
   where $\alpha$ is the Xenonnt Material Constant (approximately $4.12 \times 10^{-9} \text{ kg/s} \cdot \text{K}^{-2}$), $T$ is the chamber temperature, and $\theta$ is the azimuth angle relative to the Earth’s rotational axis, measured at the time of phase anomaly. ${[4]}$ While $\chi$-sublimation does not significantly a…
