Heavy WIMP Effective Theory Formalism and Applications for Scattering on Nucleon Targets /
This book is about dark matter's particle nature and the implications of a new symmetry that appears when a hypothetical dark matter particle is heavy compared to known elementary particles. Dark matter exists and composes about 85% of the matter in the universe, but it cannot be explained in t...
