The Dark Universe

Call for Papers

Dark matter and dark energy are the most favored hypotheses for understanding the observed galactic and cosmic dynamics. There are a variety of experimental efforts aiming at detecting dark matter (directly and indirectly) as well as the expectation that the LHC will provide important information on its properties (either through direct observation or by excluding important sections of parameter space in a variety of models). The current and near future experimental results have renewed the theoretical interest in this subject. We are interested in all aspects of this subject matter.

We invite authors to contribute original as well as review articles. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Supersymmetric dark matter
• Models of interacting dark matter
• Dark energy models
• Models of galactic distribution of dark matter
• Implications of the limits derived from direct dark matter searches (XENON, CDMS, DAMA/LIBRA, COEGENT, etc.)
• Implications of the data from indirect dark matter searches (Fermi, PAMELA, etc.)

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/ahep/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/ according to the following timetable:
