Abstract
The existence of dark matter (DM) is one of the most striking evidences of physics beyond the Standard Model. Based on standard cosmology theory and observations, the total mass–energy of the known universe contains 4.9 % visible matter, 26.8 % DM, and 68.3 % dark energy [1]; in other words, of all the matter in our universe, there are about five times more DM compared with standard, visible matter. Despite its abundance and a plethora of direct and indirect evidence, the properties of DM, its physical laws, and how it connects to Standard Model (SM) particles remain unknown.
