ConclusionsConclusions
•Many new experimental data: WMAP, Edelweiss•Neutrinos ruled out (WMAP)•Phions not well motivated (WMAP)•Wimpzillas in check (EGRET? Photons in UHECR?)•Narrow window for axions•WIMPS are the favorite candidates•New codes to compute WIMPS relic abundances•DAMA region ruled out (Edelweiss)•Next generation of Dark Matter Experiments will test SUSY
Meanwhile, theorists keep using their wild imagination:VAMPS, KK-modes, ...
