Abstract

AbstractIn this mini review, we discuss the status of dark matter search from cosmological perspective. The non-detection of cold weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) has expanded the dark matter research to look beyond thermal canonical WIMP. Here we discuss how cosmology can put few model independent bounds on properties of dark matter—like its mass, formation epoch, and possible decay rate. We also discuss how present and near future cosmological experiments can guide the dark matter search and model building in the coming years. With the increasing sensitivity, cosmological observations are already putting competitive bounds on particle physics parameters of dark matter models and near future cosmology experiments can detect smoking gun signal of non-WIMP dark matter models which has a different prediction for cosmological structure formation in the universe.KeywordsDark matterCosmological constraints
