| Nov 29, 2012 at 3:31 | comment | added | Columbia | There are plenty of logical alternatives that are independent of supersymmetry. Almost any weakly interacting particle that isn't too heavy to freeze out in the early universe will do (eg those arising from little higgs models for instance). Many of these haven't quite been ruled out yet at the LHC. Axions as one of the answers below is another popular and consistent alternative, more generally condensates of many forms. And there are other ideas as well, eg primordial black holes or modifying gravity etc. | |

| Nov 28, 2012 at 12:49 | comment | added | Dilaton | Are you asking about what would happen if SUSY is shifted to such a high energy scale that it is useless for dark matter or do you want to know about what dark matter could be if there is no SUSY at all at any energy scale? | |
