Astrophysical Tests of Particle Physics Theories New “dark” forces would predict clouds of DM to be distorted as they pass through each other Decay of WIMPs to super- WIMPs may produce photons or electrons which can break light nuclei

Astrophysical Tests of Particle Physics Theories New force in dark sector (with Sommerfeld enhancement) predicted to produce enhanced leptonic annihilations in substructure in the halo (PAMELA, ATIC)
