abstract
We show that collisional damping of adiabatic primordial fluctuations yields constraints on the possible range of mass and interaction rates of Dark Matter particles. Our analysis relies on a general classification of Dark Matter candidates, that we establish independently of any specific particle theory or model. From a relation between the collisional damping scale and the Dark Matter interaction rate, we find that Dark Matter candidates must have cross-sections at decoupling smaller than $ 10^{-33} \frac{m_{dm}}{1 MeV} cm^2$ with photons and $10^{-37} \frac{m_{dm}}{1 MeV} cm^2$ with neutrinos, to explain the observed primordial structures of $10^9$ Solar mass. These damping constraints are particularly relevant for Warm Dark Matter candidates. They also leave open less known regions of parameter space corresponding to particles having rather high interaction rates with other species than neutrinos and photons.

High resolution Lyman-{\alpha} forest constraints on dark matter-neutrino scattering
The Lyman-alpha forest constrains dark matter-neutrino scattering to u_nu_chi < 1.5e-8 (95% C.L.), excluding previously claimed hints of a non-zero interaction.

21 cm Cosmology Sensitivity to Small-Scale Structure: Warm vs Neutrino-Interacting Dark Matter
21 cm forecasts show HERA can detect νDM interactions down to ~3×10⁻³⁵ cm² (assuming zero modelling error) but cannot distinguish νDM from warm dark matter.

The Highest-Energy Neutrino Event Constrains Dark Matter-Neutrino Interactions
KM3-230213A limits dark matter-neutrino scattering to below about 1e-22 cm^2/GeV at 220 PeV, but most simple dark matter models are excluded by unitarity above MeV masses.

Cosmological impact of $\nu$DM interactions enhanced in narrow redshift ranges
A redshift-limited dark matter-neutrino interaction reproduces the observed preference for non-zero coupling in CMB and cosmic shear data and evades small-scale structure bounds.

Lyman-$\alpha$ forest constraints on pure and mixed fuzzy dark matter
