We study a superweakly interacting dark matter particle motivated by minimal walking technicolor theories. Our WIMP is a mixture of a sterile state and a state with the charges of a standard model fourth family neutrino. We show that the model can give the right amount of dark matter over a range of the WIMP mass and mixing angle. We compute bounds on the model parameters from the current accelerator data including the oblique corrections to the precision electroweak parameters, as well as from…

Limits on heavy WIMP masses and interactions

Limits on spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon cross sections from the XENON10 experiment.

XENON10 is an experiment to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which may comprise the bulk of the nonbaryonic dark matter in the authors' Universe, and excludes previously unexplored regions in the theoretically allowed parameter space for neutralinos.
