| Abstract: | The search for dark matter continues, and many models predict that dark matter is a very massive particle or composite state. Discovering dark matter at the high mass frontier will require new approaches. I detail some recently developed astrophysical searches, including for dark matter that forms black holes in the sun and earth, dark matter that would make old white dwarfs explode, and supermassive dark matter detected through its fusion of nuclei in Antarctic ice. I will also discuss a new proposal to use neutron stars to search for dark matter in subhaloes. |
