We examine a real electroweak triplet scalar field as dark matter, abandoning the requirement that its relic abundance is determined through freeze out in a standard cosmological history (a situation which we refer to as a miracle-less WIMP). We extract the bounds on such a particle from collider searches, searches for direct scattering with terrestrial targets, and searches for the indirect products of annihilation. Each type of search provides complementary information, and each is most effective in a different region of parameter space. LHC searches tend to be highly dependent on the mass of the SU(2) charged partner state, and are effective for very large or very tiny mass splitting between it and the neutral dark matter component. Direct searches are very effective at bounding the Higgs portal coupling, but ineffective once it falls below $lambda_{text{eff}} lesssim 10^{-3}$. Indirect searches suffer from large astrophysical uncertainties due to the backgrounds and $J$-factors, but do provide key information for $sim$ 100 GeV to TeV masses. Synthesizing the allowed parameter space, this example of WIMP dark matter remains viable, but only in miracle-less regimes.

A four generation supersymmetric model is proposed, in which the Tevatron ``top-quark events are reinterpreted as the production of $t^prime$ which decays dominantly to $bW^+$. In this model, $m_tsimeq m_W$, and $trtawidetilde twidetildechi^0_1$, wit
h $widetilde trta cwidetildechi^0_1$. This decay chain, which rarely produces a hard isolated lepton, would have been missed in all previous top quark searches. A narrow region of the model parameter space exists which cannot yet be ruled out by present data. This model predicts a rich spectrum of new physics which can be probed at LEP-II and the Tevatron.
We study the freeze-in production of vector dark matter (DM) in a classically scale invariant theory, where the Standard Model (SM) is augmented with an abelian $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry that is spontaneously broken due to the non-zero vacuum expectati
on value (VEV) of a scalar charged under the $U(1)_X$. Generating the SM Higgs mass at 1-loop level, it leaves only two parameters in the dark sector, namely, the DM mass $m_X$ and the gauge coupling $g_X$ as independent, and supplement with a naturally light dark scalar particle. We show, for $g_Xsimmathcal{O}left(10^{-5}right)$, it is possible to produce the DM X out-of-equilibrium in the early Universe, satisfying the observed relic abundance for $m_Xsimmathcal{O}left(text{TeV}right)$, which in turn also determines the scalar mixing angle $sin thetasimmathcal{O}left(10^{-5}right)$. The presence of such naturally light scalar mediator with tiny mixing with the SM, opens up the possibility for the model to be explored in direct search experiment, which otherwise is insensitive to standard freeze-in scenarios. Moreover we show that even with such feeble couplings, necessary for the DM freeze-in, the scenario is testable in several light dark sector searches (e.g., in DUNE and in FASER-II), satisfying constraints from the observed relic abundance as well as big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Particularly, we find, regions of the parameter space with $m_X$ $gtrsim 1.8$ TeV are insensitive to direct detection probes but still can become accessible in lifetime frontier searches, courtesy to the underlying scale invariance of the theory.
We point out a potential common origin of the recently observed 750 GeV diphoton resonance and a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) candidate. In a dark QCD sector with an unbroken dark G-parity, the diphoton resonance could be a dark G-even
pion, while the WIMP could be the lightest dark G-odd pion. Both particles are Standard Model gauge singlets and have the same decay constant. For the dark pion decay constant of around 500 GeV, both the diphoton excess at the LHC and the dark matter thermal abundance can be accommodated in our model. Our model predicts additional dark G-even and dark G-odd color-octet pions within reach of the 13 TeV LHC runs. For the 5 + 5bar model, compatible with the Grand Unified Theories, the WIMP mass is predicted to be within (613, 750) GeV.
We consider dark matter (DM) with very weak couplings to the standard model (SM), such that its self-annihilation cross section is much smaller than the canonical one, $langlesigma vrangle_{chichi} ll 10^{-26}mathrm{cm}^3/mathrm{s}$. In this case DM
self-annihilation is negligible for the dynamics of freeze-out and DM dilution is solely driven by efficient annihilation of heavier accompanying dark sector particles provided that DM maintains chemical equilibrium with the dark sector. This chemical equilibrium is established by conversion processes which require much smaller couplings to be efficient than annihilation. The chemical decoupling of DM from the SM can either be initiated by the freeze-out of annihilation, resembling a co-annihilation scenario, or of conversion processes, leading to the scenario of conversion-driven freeze-out. We focus on the latter and discuss its distinct phenomenology.
Assuming the newly observed $Z_c(3900)$ to be a molecular state of $Dbar D^*(D^{*} bar D)$, we calculate the partial widths of $Z_c(3900)to J/psi+pi;; psi+pi;; eta_c+rho$ and $Dbar D^*$ within the light front model (LFM). $Z_c(3900)to J/psi+pi$ is th
e channel by which $Z_c(3900)$ was observed, our calculation indicates that it is indeed one of the dominant modes whose width can be in the range of a few MeV depending on the model parameters. Similar to $Z_b$ and $Z_b$, Voloshin suggested that there should be a resonance $Z_c$ at 4030 MeV which can be a molecular state of $D^*bar D^*$. Then we go on calculating its decay rates to all the aforementioned final states and as well the $D^*bar D^*$. It is found that if $Z_c(3900)$ is a molecular state of ${1oversqrt 2}(Dbar D^*+D^*bar D)$, the partial width of $Z_c(3900)to Dbar D^*$ is rather small, but the rate of $Z_c(3900)topsi(2s)pi$ is even larger than $Z_c(3900)to J/psipi$. The implications are discussed and it is indicated that with the luminosity of BES and BELLE, the experiments may finally determine if $Z_c(3900)$ is a molecular state or a tetraquark.
