Description

Scalar, fermionic, and vector WIMP-like dark matter may couple to the Standard Model through a massive spin-2 mediator. Mediators of this sort appear in extra-dimensional models, such as Randall-Sundrum models. We apply several parameter space constraints to phenomenological spin-2 mediated scenarios, including those arising from direct detection, indirect detection, relic density, collider experiments, and unitarity.
