Focus on Dark Matter and Particle Physics

1. We are witnessing an era that is nothing short of a historical moment in the quest for the fundamental nature of particle dark matter. The energy frontier of the TeV, where new physics potentially connected to particle dark matter might lie, according to several theoretically very compelling scenarios, will be soon explored with the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Upgrades to current direct dark matter detectors, and the research and development of new and possibly complementary techniques to look for the scattering of particle dark matter off ordinary baryonic matter are at a fully mature stage.
2. These experimental efforts carry the promise of exploring in the very near future a large and appealing portion of the parameter space of the best motivated dark matter models. Finally, a surge of excitement has recently come from the successful launches and deployments of space-based antimatter and gamma-ray telescopes. In particular, in the last year it is fair to say that most of the phenomenological and theoretical work in the field was driven by the puzzling results from these two payloads, in an ongoing effort to understand the instrumental systematics and to explore possible astrophysical sources of background to a dark matter signal.

3. This focus issue starts with the acknowledgement of the specificity of this moment in time for the discovery of the nature of dark matter, and provides novel and updated snapshots of recent results and future directions in the field. All major topics in both experimental and theoretical aspects are comprehensively treated, starting with an authoritative bird-eye review of particle dark matter candidates by Bergstrom.
4. Given the long-standing interest for supersymmetry as one of the best motivated scenarios for particle physics beyond the standard model soon to be tested with the LHC, a contribution by Cotta specifically addresses supersymmetric dark matter candidates. A minimal setup, from the point of view of model building, is the interesting and exhaustive setup of 'minimal dark matter', here reviewed by one of its proposers in Cirelli and Strumia.
