Historical precedent
• In 1930s, the “Standard Model” was photon, electron, nucleons
• Beta decay: n ! p+ e�
Continuous spectrum!
• Pauli proposes a radical solution - the neutrino!
n ! p+ e� + �
• Perfect example of a dark sector• neutrino is electrically neutral (QED gauge singlet)
• very weakly interacting and light
• interacts with “Standard Model” through “portal” - (p�µn)(e�µ⇥)

Dark matter production via thermal freeze-out
• At early times, , both DM annihilation and production (inverse annihilation) are efficient
• As temperature drops, , DM production is kinematically disfavored, and DM begins to annihilate away
• However, Hubble expansion causes DM dilution, making DM annihilation more and more rare
• Eventually, DM will freeze-out, once annihilation rate becomes smaller than the Hubble rate
• Relic abundance of DM controlled by the annihilation cross section

• There are a few simple models that use one of the renormalizable “portals”
• Beyond this, we can consider gauging certain anomaly free combinations of the SM symmetries, e.g., , etc. B � L,Lµ � L⌧
• In general we can also consider gauging anomalous symmetries, or consider scalar particles coupled through higher dimension operators (e.g., axion portal)
• Finally, we can straightforwardly couple the dark matter to the mediator

CMB as a probe of the dark sector
• The cosmic microwave background provides a sensitive test of DM annihilation around the epoch of recombination
• If the annihilation products include energetic photons, electrons, this will modify ionization history, leaving imprints on the CMB anisotropies
• Current constraints probe thermal dark matter candidates below about 10 GeV

A closer look at the CMB bounds
• The CMB bounds depend on the particle physics model and DM cosmology
• In general, the DM annihilation cross section can be written as
h�vi = a+ bv2 + . . .
• DM was highly non-relativistic during the recombination epoch, and therefore the bounds can be evaded if annihilation proceeds in the p-wave
• In the dark photon model, p wave annihilation to the SM occurs if DM is a scalar

• For masses in the thermal window, neutrino Yukawa coupling is tiny
• Direct annihilation to light neutrinos is inefficient, and direct detection, accelerator tests of this scenario are challenging

Small scale structure
• Strong DM - neutrino scattering can delay DM kinetic decoupling
• Pressure due to DM-neutrino coupling resists gravitational collapse (analogous to coupled photon-baryon plasma)
• Formation of structures smaller than horizon size at DM kinetic decoupling are suppressed

Outlook
• Dark sectors may play a role in addressing a number of outstanding mysteries in particle physics and cosmology
• Thermal dark matter implies coupling between DM and SM; requires new mediators, interactions for masses below ~ GeV
• Vector portal and neutrino portal provide two simple, motivated scenarios, each with its own rich and characteristic phenomenology
• Testing these scenarios requires new, complementary experimental strategies to the ones employed for WIMPs
• The dark sector could be much richer than the scenarios I’ve outlined. We’ve only scratched the surface on this subject!
