From the particle physics point of view, the most peculiar property of the dark matter particle is its stability on cosmological time scales. We briefly review the possible origins of this characteristic feature for candidates whose relic density results from the thermal freeze-out of their annihilation. We emphasize that each stabilization mechanism implies an all specific phenomenology. The models reviewed include supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric models where the stability is a consequence of grand-unification, models where stability is due to an unbroken gauge group and models where the DM stability is accidental. The latter possibility includes minimal dark matter, hidden vector dark matter and composite DM models.

  1. Decaying Dark Matter Halo Abundance from a Revised Spherical Collapse Model

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A mass-dependent collapse threshold from a revised spherical collapse model predicts the decaying-dark-matter halo mass function, matching N-body simulations at z≈1 and for mild kicks at z=0.

  2. A frequentist view on the two-body decaying dark matter model

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A frequentist reanalysis of Planck and KiDS-1000 data shows that a two-body decaying dark matter model can produce S8 values consistent with weak lensing surveys, and that prior choices dominated earlier Bayesian exclusions.

  3. Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2024-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review summarizing current observational, experimental, and theoretical results on dark matter.
