Tilman Plehn develops quantitative particle-physics treatments of dark matter. His notes with Martin Bauer connect candidate models with relic abundance, direct detection, indirect detection and collider searches.[ref]
These are different tests of a proposed interaction. A parameter choice that supplies the cosmological abundance need not automatically evade a scattering experiment or produce a collider signal. Placing the calculations in one framework makes those competing constraints explicit rather than treating “dark matter” as one uniquely specified particle.
