Abstract:
Weakly-interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are among the leading candidates for dark matter (DM). This talk looks at how some relatively simple models confront the results of the latest searches for DM, focusing on Higgs-portal scenarios with bosonic or fermionic WIMPs. Although the current experimental data have placed significant constraints on them, they remain good DM candidates with substantial viable parameter space, including regions which may elude future searches.
