abstract

We outline the unique opportunities and challenges in the search for "ultraheavy" dark matter candidates with masses between roughly $10~{\rm TeV}$ and the Planck scale $m_{\rm pl} \approx 10^{16}~{\rm TeV}$. This mass range presents a wide and relatively unexplored dark matter parameter space, with a rich space of possible models and cosmic histories. We emphasize that both current detectors and new, targeted search techniques, via both direct and indirect detection, are poised to contribute to searches for ultraheavy particle dark matter in the coming decade. We highlight the need for new developments in this space, including new analyses of current and imminent direct and indirect experiments targeting ultraheavy dark matter and development of new, ultra-sensitive detector technologies like next-generation liquid noble detectors, neutrino experiments, and specialized quantum sensing techniques.

  1. Towards the Direct Detection of Composite Ultraheavy Dark Matter in Quantum Sensor Arrays

    hep-ph 2025-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A quantum sensor array could be sensitive to Planck-mass composite dark matter with radii around a centimeter via Yukawa forces, with a signal that scales as λ² instead of exponentially for short screening lengths.

  2. Superheavy Dark Matter from the String Theory Axiverse

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Heavy axions from a simple string-theory compactification can be produced in large numbers by gravitational particle production at the end of inflation and can account for all dark matter, provided they remain stable ...

  3. Breaking Dark: Hunting Heavy Decaying Dark Matter with Tibet AS$_\gamma$ and LHAASO-KM2A

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Tibet ASγ and LHAASO-KM2A diffuse gamma-ray data exclude decaying dark matter lifetimes below about 10^28 seconds for masses around 10^6-10^9 GeV, for many Standard Model final states.
