A brief review of dark matter

Abstract

In this paper we review dark matter as sterile neutrinos, fermions, with their present and possibly future detection via neutrino oscillations. The creation of dark matter (DM) via interactions with the dark energy (quintessence) is discussed. We also review bosons as dark matter by discussing a proposed search for dark photons. Since photons are vector bosons, if dark photons exist, at least part of dark matter are vector bosons. Some of the ongoing experimental detections of dark matter are reviewed.
