Description

There's a lot of confusion about the plausibility of the existence of Weekly Interacting Massive Particles in the broader particle astrophysics community. In this talk I review the most popular WIMP candidates and the most rigorous experimental limits in them. I argue that the simplest WIMP candidates are not only alive but also in the potential reach of CTA.
