Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) continue to be considered some of the best-motivated Dark Matter (DM) candidates. No conclusive signal, despite an extensive search program that combines, often in a complementary way, direct, indirect, and collider probes, has been however detected so far. This situation might change in the near future with the advent of even larger, multi-ton Direct Detection experiments. We provide here an updated review of the WIMP paradigm, with a focus on selected models that can be probed with upcoming facilities, all relying on the standard freeze-out paradigm for the relic density. We also discuss Collider and Indirect Searches when they provide complementary experimental information.

Singlet-doublet dark matter beyond freeze-out
In the small-coupling limit of the singlet-doublet dark matter model, the relic density is set by co-scattering, freeze-in, or SuperWIMP decays rather than ordinary freeze-out, and the observable signals move from dir...

In-depth analysis of the clustering of dark matter particles around primordial black holes. Part II. Analytical prescriptions for spikes
A 'soft' analytical approximation reproduces PBH minispike densities and annihilation rates to ~±15%, and shows that a discovered sub-solar PBH population would strongly constrain s-wave WIMP dark matter.
