摘要：

暗物质的身份是天体物理学和粒子物理学的核心问题。在过去，领先的粒子候选者是冷的和无碰撞的，并且通常预测在粒子对撞机上丢失的能量信号。然而，最近的进展大大扩大了动机良好的候选人名单和暗物质的可能签名。本文首先对粒子物理的标准模型及其存在的问题作了简要的概述。然后，我们讨论了几个暗物质的候选人，这些问题的动机，包括WIMP，超级WIMP，轻引力子，隐藏的暗物质，不育中微子和轴子。对于每一个这些，我们批判性地研究粒子物理学的动机，并提出其预期的生产机制，基本属性，直接和间接检测，粒子对撞机和天体物理观测的影响。即将进行的实验将发现或排除其中的许多候选者，而这些进展可能会开启一个最大和最小可观测长度尺度研究之间前所未有的协同作用的时代。

英文摘要：

The identity of dark matter is a question of central importance in both astrophysics and particle physics. In the past, the leading particle candidates were cold and collisionless, and typically predicted missing energy signals at particle colliders. However, recent progress has greatly expanded the list of well-motivated candidates and the possible signatures of dark matter. This review begins with a brief summary of the standard model of particle physics and its outstanding problems. We then discuss several dark matter candidates motivated by these problems, including WIMPs, superWIMPs, light gravitinos, hidden dark matter, sterile neutrinos, and axions. For each of these, we critically examine the particle physics motivations and present their expected production mechanisms, basic properties, and implications for direct and indirect detection, particle colliders, and astrophysical observations. Upcoming experiments will discover or exclude many of these candidates, and progress may open up an era of unprecedented synergy between studies of the largest and smallest observable length scales.
