Comparison Of the Detection Scenarios of Wimps And ALP

Abstract

Contemporarily, the dark matter remains a mysterious part of cosmology beyond standard model, which has not been detected yet. Plenty of different detection methods have proposed in order to ensure the existence of dark matter. In addition, its exotic properties have also been identified as beyond the standard model of particle physics, which led to the emergence of different dark matter candidates one by one. With this in mind, this paper will select two kinds of well-explored candidates (i.e., WIMPs and ALP) to discuss the detection scenarios and progress. To be specific, this study will introduce the two detectors and then compare the efficiency and performance of the Organic Crystal Detectors and KAGRA's relative to exploring WIMP and ALP dark matter candidates. Finally, this research will discuss the current shortcomings of the two state-of-art detectors as well as their future outlook. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of dark matter candidate investigation.
