Non-Baryonic Dark Matter
• I’m no expert on this stuff (and in some
sense NO ONE is).  Particle physicists
play in this area more than astronomers.
• Leading candidates include
– Axions.  Cold, low mass, avoid strong CP
violation.
– Neutrinos.  Hot, low mass (getting better
constrained), lots of them.  SN helps.
– WIMPs.  Gravitino, photino, etc.
– Mirror Matter.
