proposed resolution: Re-implement the THDM plus sterile-neutrino-portal Lagrangian in FeynRules from the published scalar potential and Yukawa terms, export micrOMEGAs model files, and validate against the paper's Planck relic-density scan band and Higgs-portal direct-detection results.
Light thermal pseudo-Dirac dark matter with dark photon mediator (arXiv:2405.08881 · score 37)No public code implements the order-alpha_D NLO corrections to pseudo-Dirac dark-photon annihilation and scattering; the O(10 percent) to tens-of-percent shifts to the thermal target exist only as the paper's private matrix-element calculation.

proposed resolution: Reimplement the A4-Z4 3HDM scalar sector in FeynRules, export to CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs, and validate against the paper's benchmark points (42.2 GeV, 53.65 GeV, and the >536 GeV high-mass window) before public release.
Scale-invariant inverse-seesaw Majoron freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2306.07865 · score 36)No public FeynRules/CalcHEP model implementation of the scale-invariant inverse-seesaw Majoron model exists; the paper used private model files, so the micrOMEGAs freeze-in pipeline cannot be run without re-implementing the full scalar potential and inverse-seesaw Yukawa sector, including the CP-even scalar mixing.
proposed resolution: Re-implement the reparametrized scale-invariant potential and inverse-seesaw Yukawa sector in FeynRules, export CalcHEP model files, validate against the paper's freeze-in benchmark table with micrOMEGAs 5.3, and publish the model files in a public repository.
Right-handed sneutrino self-interacting dark matter in double focus point BLSSM (arXiv:1804.00277 · score 36)Stock relic-density codes (micrOMEGAs, DarkSUSY with standard model files) do not include the Sommerfeld enhancement of sneutrino annihilation into light bilepton pairs that the paper relies on to reach the Planck abundance in the MeV-mediator regime, so Omega h^2 cannot be computed with released tools.

proposed resolution: Extend micrOMEGAs (or wrap its rate output in a standalone integrator) with the coupled phi-radiation-DM Boltzmann equations parameterized by (T_end, k, Gamma_phi), validating against the standard radiation-dominated limit; micrOMEGAs 5.x hooks for user-defined H(T) make this a natural extension point.
U(1) B-3L_e scotogenic pattern-A fermion dark matter (arXiv:1911.00819 · score 35)No public model implementation (FeynRules/SARAH model files feeding micrOMEGAs, CalcHEP, and SPheno/FlavorKit) exists for the U(1) B-3L_e scotogenic field content, so the relic density, sigma_SI, and LFV branching ratios computed privately by the authors cannot be reproduced or rescanned.

Heavy-quark and gluon-philic Majorana dark matter EFT (arXiv:2110.11857 · score 34)No public model-specific implementation of the Majorana heavy-quark/gluon operator basis exists: the paper used MadDM, FeynRules, and micrOMEGAs but released no FeynRules/UFO model files, so the relic-density normalization of the Wilson coefficients cannot be reproduced without rebuilding the model from the Lagrangian.
proposed resolution: Implement the seven Majorana heavy-quark and gluon operators (scalar, pseudoscalar, axial-vector, twist-2, and gluonic structures) as a FeynRules model, export UFO files for MadDM/micrOMEGAs, and validate against the paper's Omega h^2 = 0.1198 single-operator contours over 10 GeV to 2 TeV.

proposed resolution: Implement the full model in FeynRules/SARAH with the pattern-C charge assignment, export CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs model files for relic density and direct detection, validate the resonance region M_H about 2 M_N1 per the route's validation test, and couple sigma_SI output to public xenon likelihoods (XENON1T/LZ) to replace the card's qualitative benchmark statements.

Goldilocks cosmology gravitino dark matter in minimal GMSB (arXiv:1205.6480 · score 28)The route is a single unimplemented 'compute' step: no assembled pipeline links mGMSB inputs (Lambda, tan beta, m_chi, m_G, T_R) through spectrum generation, neutralino freeze-out, and the analytic superWIMP post-processing (Omega_G h^2, tau_chi, lambda_FS, d_e, m_h), so none of the paper's allowed-region contours can currently be reproduced.

Light-vector freeze-in dark matter with plasmon decay (arXiv:1902.08623 · score 28)No public finite-temperature freeze-in integrator includes in-medium plasmon decay for light-vector/millicharged dark matter; existing freeze-in tools (micrOMEGAs) omit the plasma-mass channel that dominates sub-MeV production and do not output the momentum-resolved nonthermal f(p).
proposed resolution: Extend micrOMEGAs' freeze-in module (or write a standalone integrator) with Braaten-Segel in-medium photon self-energies, resonant plasmon decay to chi pairs, and unintegrated collision terms so both the yield and the tabulated phase-space distribution f(p) are produced; validate against the paper's result that plasmon decay dominates sub-MeV production.
p-wave Breit-Wigner enhanced dark matter annihilation (arXiv:2110.10388 · score 28)No public relic-density code implements p-wave Breit-Wigner resonant annihilation with explicit kinetic-decoupling treatment: near-threshold resonant enhancement keeps annihilation active after chemical freeze-out, so the yield depends on x_kd and on the DM temperature evolution, which standard micrOMEGAs/DarkSUSY defaults (kinetic equilibrium assumed) do not capture for this narrow-resonance regime.
proposed resolution: Implement the p-wave Breit-Wigner cross section sigma_v(delta, gamma, v) in DRAKE (which solves the coupled number-density and temperature Boltzmann equations beyond kinetic equilibrium) or in micrOMEGAs with a user-supplied T_chi evolution, and validate against the paper's b-normalization and Omega h^2 benchmarks for x_kd = 50, 5e2, 5e3.

proposed resolution: Extend NUDEC_BSM with a majoron species carrying an initial freeze-out yield Y_J(T_fo), the m_nu/f-scaled nu-nu -> J coalescence collision term, and inverse-decay/decay terms into the neutrino sector, then validate against the paper's quoted T_fo bounds (>64 MeV BBN, >104 MeV Planck) and the CMB-S4 closure forecast of the f window.
Right-handed sneutrino dark matter in MSSM inverse/linear seesaw extensions (arXiv:1209.1465 · score 28)The SARAH model file for the inverse/linear seesaw MSSM with RH sneutrino LSP built by the paper is not publicly released, so the entire SARAH -> SPheno -> micrOMEGAs chain cannot be run until the implementation is recreated and validated.

Pseudo-familon dark matter (arXiv:1201.1205 · score 27)The relic density exists only as a single analytic benchmark that neglects scalar mixing (computational_representation is null and no model code is released), so the viable (m_phi, m_S, m_2, lambda) region cannot be mapped and the quoted Omega_D h^2 about 0.1 carries uncontrolled precision.
proposed resolution: Implement the pseudo-familon plus singlet-scalar potential (including S-h mixing) in FeynRules/CalcHEP and scan the relic density with micrOMEGAs, validating against the paper's x_f = 28 benchmark and updating the target to the Planck abundance.

No-scale supergravity neutralino LSP dark matter framework (arXiv:1310.4770 · score 26)No public spectrum generator implements the no-scale SU(5) super-GUT boundary conditions used here (m0 = B0 = A0 = 0 imposed at an input scale M_in above M_GUT, with SU(5) RGE running between M_in and M_GUT), so the (m_1/2, M_in) strips cannot be regenerated from the model inputs.
proposed resolution: Extend a public spectrum generator (SoftSUSY or SPheno/SARAH) with SU(5) RGEs above the GUT scale and the pure no-scale boundary condition at M_in, then chain the output SLHA spectrum into FeynHiggs and micrOMEGAs to reproduce the paper's dark-blue relic strips as a validation test.
Asymmetric vector-mediator SIDM with photon kinetic mixing (arXiv:1310.7945 · score 26)No model implementation exists for the asymmetric relic-abundance computation: depleting the symmetric X anti-X component via annihilation into dark vectors with a primordial asymmetry is currently handled only by the paper's benchmark scaling, not by an executable Boltzmann setup.

Inelastic U(1) L_mu-L_tau charged scalar dark matter (arXiv:1908.09277 · score 26)No public model implementation of the inelastic L_mu-L_tau scalar model exists: the S/P coannihilation relic density with the off-diagonal Z-prime coupling to mu/tau flavors, Higgs-portal cross sections, and present-day annihilation are computed privately in the paper, with no FeynRules/CalcHEP files or micrOMEGAs port released.

proposed resolution: Integrate the bimetric background ODEs to tabulate H(T) and the entropy source-sink history for given (lambda, initial density ratio, transition temperature), and pass the table to micrOMEGAs' nonstandard-cosmology interface (or a bespoke yield integrator) for WIMP freeze-out and FIMP freeze-in; validate by recovering standard radiation-dominated results as the deformation is removed.
Electron-philic scalar mediator with Majorana dark matter (arXiv:2304.14052 · score 26)The thermal relic-density calculation for the Majorana DM through the electron-philic scalar mediator is not implemented anywhere in the card's resources, so the fixed-target reach cannot be compared to the thermal-target parameter space the paper invokes for complementarity.

Local baryon-and-lepton-number Dirac asymmetric dark matter (arXiv:2103.13397 · score 24)No public implementation exists of the coupled leptogenesis-plus-dark-asymmetry Boltzmann system: the Y_N1/Y_B-L/Y_DM network with CP-asymmetric N_1 decays branching into lepton-Higgs and dark-sector final states, Z_L gauge-boson washout of the N_1 abundance, and sphaleron redistribution is given only as equations in the paper, so the M_ZL/g_L ~ 1e10 GeV bound and the Y_DM-M_DM relic relation cannot be independently rescanned (the card also defers some washout processes to future work).
proposed resolution: Extend a public leptogenesis Boltzmann framework (e.g. a ULYSSES-style solver) with the dark-sector decay branch (y_DM, y_L, y_R couplings), Z_L-mediated 2-to-2 scattering keeping N_1 in equilibrium, the deferred dark-asymmetry washout terms, and the modified sphaleron conversion relations of the U(1)_B x U(1)_L theory.
Conformal freeze-in composite dark-pion dark matter (arXiv:2209.10563 · score 24)No public Boltzmann implementation exists for conformal freeze-in: the collision term for SM hypercharge coupling to a dark-CFT antisymmetric tensor operator of dimension d, transferring energy into the conformal sector without thermalization, is not available in any released code.

Flipped SU(5) inflaton-scalar dark matter unification (arXiv:1703.07542 · score 23)No implementation of the low-energy Z2 scalar-singlet limit exists in a relic/direct-detection pipeline for this card, so the quoted mass windows (m_S near 62.5 GeV for k <= 0.06, m_S above about 450 GeV for k about 0.2) are inherited from the literature rather than re-derivable.
proposed resolution: Run the standard scalar-singlet Higgs-portal model in MicrOMEGAs (public singlet model files exist) over (m_S, k), imposing Planck relic density and current LZ/XENONnT limits via DDCalc to re-derive the viable windows.

SU(2) center-stabilized scalar dark matter (arXiv:2212.11918 · score 23)No public implementation of the coupled two-component Boltzmann system for the SU(2)_D center-stabilized model exists: the relic ratio Omega_plus/Omega_minus, which controls the direct-detection rescaling, requires solving freeze-out with dark-photon, dark-scalar, and Higgs-portal channels (and hidden-sector thermalization for tiny portal couplings).
proposed resolution: Implement the model in CalcHEP/FeynRules and use micrOMEGAs' multi-component dark-matter mode to solve the coupled chi_plus/chi_minus freeze-out, extending it with a hidden-sector temperature evolution for the secluded and freeze-in regimes the paper mentions.

proposed resolution: Implement the model (N, two inert doublets, Stueckelberg Z-prime) in SARAH/FeynRules to auto-generate micrOMEGAs/CalcHEP files for relic density and scattering plus SPheno/FlavorKit output for mu -> e gamma, mu -> 3e, and mu-e conversion, validating against the paper's viable (m_N, g_X) region.
Complex singlet scalar model with stable pseudoscalar A dark matter (arXiv:2202.04035 · score 20)No public calculator gives the one-loop spin-independent DM-nucleon cross section for the CxSM pseudoscalar: the tree-level rate is velocity suppressed to irrelevance, so the direct-detection observable cannot be evaluated with standard tools, which stop at tree level.
proposed resolution: Implement the published one-loop CxSM pseudoscalar-nucleon matching as a public module (extending micrOMEGAs or a DirectDM/DirectDet-style effective-operator pipeline) and compare against current XENONnT/LZ limits and the neutrino floor.

proposed resolution: Encode the full SU(2)_D Lagrangian in FeynRules, export to CalcHEP/UFO, and run micrOMEGAs for the forbidden-channel relic density and spin-independent nucleon cross section (fed to DDCalc for the XENON1T likelihood), validating against the paper's relic-density corridor and shaded XENON1T exclusion.
Scalar-condensate electroweak non-restoration dark matter (arXiv:2210.05680 · score 20)No Boltzmann/kinetic solver exists for oscillation-assisted depletion of an asymmetric scalar condensate: the coupled evolution of phi and phi-dagger number densities under a small U(1)-breaking oscillation term, charge washout, and Higgs-mediated annihilation is treated only by the paper's simplified estimate, which the paper itself flags as needing dedicated study.
proposed resolution: Derive and implement momentum-integrated kinetic equations for the phi/phi-dagger system with an oscillation source term (analogous to oscillating asymmetric-dark-matter treatments), Higgs-mediated annihilation, and elastic-scattering-induced decoherence, as a standalone solver or an extension of a micrOMEGAs-style asymmetric-freeze-out module; validate against the paper's H_ann/H_WIMP scaling limit.
Muon-specific real scalar dark matter in a modular A4 hidden U(1)_H quark-lepton model (arXiv:2304.13361 · score 20)The relic density is computed with an analytic x_F ~ 25 freeze-out approximation for a strongly d-wave-suppressed cross section, without coannihilation with the nearby CP-odd partner phi_u_I or the charged lepton E, which the collider-favored small mass splittings make relevant.
proposed resolution: Implement the model in micrOMEGAs (via the FeynRules/CalcHEP interface) to solve the full Boltzmann equation with thermal averaging of the v^4-suppressed cross section and phi_u_I/E coannihilations, and re-derive the f_mu(m_phi, m_E) relation used in the relic/g-2 overlap.

proposed resolution: Implement the U(1)_X superfield content and neutralino mass matrix in SARAH, generate SPheno spectra and a micrOMEGAs model, and validate against the paper's benchmark (m_Zprime=4.5 TeV, x_H=-0.5, alpha_gX about 0.00793 reaching Omega h^2=0.12).
R-parity neutralino dark matter in a split-SUSY SO(10) GUT (arXiv:2308.05799 · score 20)No pipeline connects the SO(10) split-SUSY benchmark parameters (M_SUSY, M_W, GUT-scale boundary conditions) to a low-scale neutralino spectrum and a quantitative relic-density calculation; the paper relies on generic wino/higgsino mass guidance, and the composition-dependent relic abundance and direct-detection predictions for BP1-BP3 are never computed.
proposed resolution: Build a split-SUSY spectrum interface (RGE running from the GUT benchmarks to the electroweakino sector) feeding micrOMEGAs or DarkSUSY, including Sommerfeld-corrected annihilation for TeV winos/higgsinos and coannihilation/heavy-Higgs resonance effects, to turn the quoted mass windows into computed Omega h^2 and sigma_SI values per benchmark.

Xogenesis with lepton-number violating transfer operators (arXiv:1009.0270 · score 20)No public code tracks the coupled X-lepton-baryon chemical-potential evolution through sphaleron decoupling, including the lepton-number bleed-off regime where continued X-L transfer below sphaleron freeze-out depletes X number; the route's required chemical-potential solver and asymmetric-abundance calculator exist only as the paper's analytic approximations.
proposed resolution: Build (or extend micrOMEGAs' asymmetric-abundance module into) a coupled Boltzmann/chemical-potential solver spanning sphaleron decoupling and operator decoupling, so the bleed-off Omega_DM/Omega_B prediction is numerical rather than an instantaneous-decoupling estimate.
Nonthermal hypercharged multiplet dark matter from reheating (arXiv:1310.7495 · score 20)The chain from a detected mass to a reheating-temperature window relies on the paper's analytic freeze-in-during-reheating estimate; no reusable numerical Boltzmann/reheating calculator that tracks the bath-scattering source between T_max and T_R for general multiplet dimension k and hypercharge Y is attached to the card.
proposed resolution: Code the number-density Boltzmann equation with the reheating-era temperature evolution and the electroweak pair-production source term for general (k, Y), validating against the paper's forecast that a detection at M_DM about 1e10-1e11 GeV pins T_R to roughly 1e7-1e9 GeV.
Model B radiative-seesaw dark matter with dark radiation (arXiv:1711.03765 · score 20)No numerical implementation of the Model B Z2 x Z2' Lagrangian exists, so the eta_R relic density, Higgs-portal sigma_SI, and LFV rates cannot be computed or scanned jointly; only the analytic Delta N_eff relation is currently evaluable.
proposed resolution: Implement the model in SARAH/FeynRules to generate a CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs model for the eta_R freeze-out and direct detection, and SPheno+FlavorKit output for the LFV branching ratios, then scan (m_eta_R, lambda_2, lambda_3, Yukawa matrix) against LZ/XENONnT limits via DDCalc and MEG/mu-to-e limits, validating against the paper's 250-500 GeV viable region.
Leptophilic scalar WIMP with scalar mediator (arXiv:1711.11376 · score 20)The FeynRules/calcHEP/micrOMEGAs model files for the leptophilic scalar-DM scalar-mediator simplified model are not publicly released, so the annihilation, loop-induced nucleon scattering, and relic-density pipeline cannot be rerun without re-implementing the Lagrangian.

BLSMIS keV S_1^1 freeze-in warm dark matter (arXiv:1904.10015 · score 20)No public model implementation exists for the BLSMIS freeze-in calculation: the paper used SARAH plus SPheno/micrOMEGAs and a custom freeze-in integrator for nonthermal Z' production, but no model files or repository are released, so the relic-density benchmarks cannot be reproduced or scanned by third parties.
proposed resolution: Release (or rebuild) the SARAH BLSMIS model files and implement the nonthermal-Z' freeze-in yield calculation in micrOMEGAs' freeze-in module, validating against the paper's single-component benchmark curves.
Tsallis-statistics WIMP freeze-out (arXiv:1911.11254 · score 20)No public freeze-out solver supports Tsallis q-deformed equilibrium distributions with a time-dependent q(x) relaxation in the Boltzmann collision term; the paper's custom integrator is unreleased and standard relic codes assume Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics.

proposed resolution: Implement a Boltzmann/Friedmann solver for the long-lived reheater Q (or X/right-handed neutrino) energy density decaying preferentially into the visible sector, tracking both sector entropies through BBN, parameterized by (Gamma_Q, branching asymmetry, initial twin temperature), and validate against the paper's O(100-1000) dilution benchmarks.
Z3 scalar dark matter with semi-production freeze-in (arXiv:2104.05684 · score 20)No validated public solver exists for semi-production freeze-in: the mechanism requires coupled Boltzmann evolution of both the DM yield and a temperature-like second moment with an initial seed abundance Y_in, which standard relic codes (micrOMEGAs, MadDM) do not support, and the cited BoltzmannEquation repository is undocumented in the card.
proposed resolution: Audit and document the cited dkaramit/BoltzmannEquation code against the paper's benchmark scans, or implement the coupled (n, T_DM) moment equations with Y_in as input in a DRAKE-style coupled-Boltzmann framework, validating that scan points reproduce Omega h^2 = 0.12.

Asymmetric right-handed sneutrino dark matter in a supersymmetric neutrinophilic Higgs model (arXiv:1406.0228 · score 19)No public numerical implementation of the model exists (associated_code unknown): the asymmetric freeze-out with a free asymmetry parameter C and the neutrinophilic-sector spectrum are handled only with paper-level analytic formulae, limiting precision scans over (M_N2, M_Hnu, M_Hnuino, y_nu, C).
proposed resolution: Build a FeynRules/CalcHEP model file for the supersymmetric neutrinophilic Higgs sector and run micrOMEGAs in its asymmetric-dark-matter mode to compute the coupled particle/antiparticle relic densities, cross sections, and Delta N_eff-relevant rates.
Large-volume light modulus dark matter (arXiv:0705.3460 · score 19)No Boltzmann history solver exists for the coherent-modulus cosmology of this model — scalar domination, heavy-modulus reheating, a late thermal-inflation/trapping epoch, and entropy injection — so the residual fraction Omega_phi/Omega_DM (the dominant nuisance for all observables) can only be estimated by hand.
proposed resolution: Implement a coupled background solver (modulus field, heavy-modulus decay products, radiation, thermal-inflation flaton) parameterized by (m_phi, m_heavy, initial displacement, N_TI, T_R) that outputs residual Omega_phi and the BBN-era reheating temperature, validating against the paper's overclosure and dilution estimates.
Nonthermal neutralino dark matter in mirage mediation (arXiv:0709.3918 · score 19)No public solver exists for the nonthermal relic calculation in a modulus-dominated era: the coupled modulus/radiation/neutralino Boltzmann equations with direct LSP injection (branching B_chi) and S-wave residual annihilation near the Higgs resonance were implemented only in an unreleased modified DarkSUSY routine.

proposed resolution: Recover or reimplement the corrections as a public micrOMEGAs extension: add the QCD-corrected annihilation/co-annihilation cross sections and Sommerfeld factors for the colored T mediator, and validate against the paper's Omega h^2 = 0.12 contours; for y_t below about 1e-4 also add the coupled Boltzmann treatment the paper flags.
Low-scale hypercolor axion-domain-wall dark sector (arXiv:1905.13116 · score 19)No Boltzmann/relic-abundance code handles the cool hidden hypercolor sector: glueball self-heating and 3->2 cannibalism, glueballino/HC-hadron freeze-out within the dark bath at T_HC/T ~ 1e-3 to 1e-2, and the coupled evolution of dark-sector temperature are not implemented in micrOMEGAs, MadDM, or DarkSUSY.

Light exothermic inelastic dark matter with vector mediator (arXiv:2403.03128 · score 19)No public relic-density implementation exists for the two-component inelastic dark-photon model; the freeze-out of nearly degenerate X and X prime with channel thresholds (on-shell versus off-shell A prime) and the surviving X prime fraction is currently handled by an analytic estimate rather than a coupled Boltzmann calculation.

proposed resolution: Implement the U^2 H-dagger-H model in micrOMEGAs or MadDM via a FeynRules/CalcHEP model file treating the massive unparticle as a scalar WIMP at d_U near 1 with the paper's mass relation fixing lambda, reproduce the published Omega_U h^2 in the m_U = 50-80 GeV window, then update to the measured 125 GeV Higgs mass and current Planck abundance and add Higgs invisible-width and direct-detection outputs.
Thermal right-handed sneutrino dark matter in the F_D-term hybrid inflation model (arXiv:0809.3932 · score 18)No public model implementation exists for the F_D-term hybrid-inflation right-handed sneutrino: the mSUGRA-plus-RHN spectrum with the inflaton-induced quartic N*N*HuHd coupling is not available as a spectrum-generator or micrOMEGAs/CalcHEP model, so neither the Higgs-pole relic density nor sigma_SI can be recomputed from the card's input parameters.

Fermion-mediated dark matter from bubble expansion (arXiv:2207.02230 · score 29)No Boltzmann/relic code includes a bubble-wall production source term: combining the L -> N wall yield, N decays into the Z2-odd heavy state, the coannihilation/freeze-out contribution, and supercooling dilution by T_nuc/T_reh into a final Omega_DM h^2 is currently only a benchmark-level estimate in the paper.
proposed resolution: Write a dedicated post-transition Boltzmann solver (or extend micrOMEGAs freeze-out output) that adds the analytic wall-production yield as an initial condition, evolves N decays and possible re-equilibration of the heavy states, and applies the reheating dilution factor; validate against the paper's relic-density isocontours.

proposed resolution: Implement the model in FeynRules and export to CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs to reproduce the paper's Higgs-resonance and singlet-resonance relic curves with direct-detection overlays, and separately code the one-loop conformal finite-temperature effective potential as a PhaseTracer model to reproduce the benchmark (T_*, alpha, beta/H) table.
Hybrid scotogenic/type-I right-handed-neutrino dark matter from relativistic bubble walls (arXiv:2207.14226 · score 29)No public model implementation of the hybrid scotogenic/type-I Lagrangian exists for the standard toolchain: neither a CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs model file for N_1 freeze-out and direct detection nor a PhaseTracer model class for the singlet-driven finite-temperature potential is released, so the combined GW/DM route cannot be rerun outside the paper's private setup.
proposed resolution: Implement the hybrid model in FeynRules and export to CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs to reproduce the benchmark relic and direct-detection overlays, and code the one-loop finite-temperature effective potential as a PhaseTracer model to reproduce the benchmark (T_*, alpha, beta/H) and Fig. 5 GW spectra.
Hybrid scotogenic/type-I right-handed-neutrino dark matter from relativistic bubble walls (arXiv:2207.14226 · score 29)The coupled baryon-asymmetry calculation (resonant leptogenesis sourced by bubble-wall-produced out-of-equilibrium RHNs plus washout after the supercooled FOPT) is only estimated semi-analytically; no public leptogenesis Boltzmann code includes relativistic bubble-wall production as a source term, so the leptogenesis half of the combined observable is benchmark-level only.

proposed resolution: Extend CLASS (or CAMB) with a rolling-scalar background component and a dark-photon fluid whose energy density and momentum distribution are set at the delayed-production epoch H_d, then derive the coupled perturbation equations for the scalar and produced vector modes and compare to Planck damping-tail and matter-power data.
Mirror matter dark matter with cooler mirror sector (arXiv:hep-ph/0304260 · score 29)No public Boltzmann solver implements the exact mirror sector — a second photon-baryon plasma at temperature ratio x with mirror recombination, mirror Silk damping, and the associated Delta N_eff — so the processed power spectrum with its lambda_max peak, oscillations, and damping tail exists only as analytic scale estimates.
proposed resolution: Extend an atomic-dark-matter/dark-photon CLASS implementation to exact mirror microphysics: duplicate the baryon-photon sector with rescaled temperature x, run a RECFAST-like mirror recombination, and validate against the paper's x < 0.2 CDM-like criterion and the lambda_max/lambda_S_prime ordering.
Left-right mirror symmetric sterile Dirac fermion CDM (arXiv:1910.03414 · score 29)No public Boltzmann/relic-density implementation exists for N1 freeze-out in the isolated left-right mirror dark sector, which requires evolving a separate dark-sector temperature after decoupling at T_D ~ 1 MeV with phi^0-mediated p-wave annihilation down to a ~1 keV freeze-out.

Low-reheat warm gravitino dark matter (arXiv:0805.2836 · score 28)No public momentum-resolved gravitino production solver exists for the low-reheat regime: the Boltzmann equation with superparticle decay and thermal-scattering collision terms that preserves low-momentum phase-space information was implemented only privately in the primary paper.
proposed resolution: Reimplement the primary paper's Boltzmann equation in comoving momentum as a public module (decay and scattering source terms with MSSM rates, low-T_R boundary conditions), outputting tabulated f(p) in CLASS/CAMB ncdm format and validated against the 1-15 keV viability window.

proposed resolution: Write a semi-analytic coupled-Boltzmann solver for scalar oscillation plus radiation plus gravitino/NLSP number densities, parameterized by (m_S, m_3/2, m_B, s_ini, branching ratios), validated against the paper's benchmark contours and the 10-100 MeV gravitino window; a generic moduli-decay cosmology module would serve many similar models.
Effective neutrinophilic dark matter with late kinetic decoupling (arXiv:1305.1936 · score 28)No Boltzmann-solver implementation covers DM-neutrino scattering with the strong momentum dependence of this model's heavy-mediator EFT operators, so the smooth-cutoff transfer function, M_cut, and the CMB thermal-history/N_eff signal rest on semi-analytic estimates and an externally quoted Planck bound rather than a full perturbation calculation.
proposed resolution: Extend the ETHOS parameterization in a modified CLASS to the operator-specific temperature/momentum scaling of the DM-neutrino momentum-transfer rate (including the dimension-8 Higgs-dressed operator), outputting transfer functions and N_eff evolution, and validate T_kd/M_cut against the Cornell et al. benchmark values as the route's validation test specifies.
Atomic dark matter with cosmological dark magnetic fields (arXiv:1804.00458 · score 28)No public Boltzmann solver implements the full atomic-dark-matter perturbation history — dark Coulomb-coupled dark baryons and dark photons with a dark recombination transition set by (alpha_D, E_B, m_H, xi) and an interacting fraction f_int — so the dark-acoustic-oscillation signature and the precise f_int <~ 5% CMB bound cannot be recomputed; ETHOS-type CLASS versions cover generic DM-DR scattering but not hydrogenic dark recombination.
proposed resolution: Extend an ETHOS-enabled CLASS with a dark-recombination module (a rescaled RECFAST/HyRec solving the hidden-sector Saha/Peebles equations in alpha_D, E_B, m_H, xi) that switches the dark radiation from tightly coupled to free-streaming, then constrain (f_int, E_B, xi) with the standard Planck likelihood.
Hidden Higgs portal vector dark matter with two-step cascade annihilation (arXiv:1806.05663 · score 28)No Boltzmann solver covers the unconventional-WIMP and cannibally co-decaying freeze-out regimes of the secluded X/S system, which require evolving a separate hidden-sector temperature and mediator decay term; micrOMEGAs-style codes assume kinetic equilibrium with the SM bath.

Light-vector freeze-in dark matter with plasmon decay (arXiv:1902.08623 · score 28)No released Boltzmann-solver configuration evolves this model's nonthermal sub-MeV freeze-in distribution together with millicharged DM-baryon drag; CLASS ncdm accepts tabulated f(p) and dmeff branches implement drag, but the combined implementation needed to reproduce the companion cosmology analysis does not exist publicly.
proposed resolution: Modify CLASS to read the freeze-in f(p) from gap_1 as an ncdm species and merge the dmeff-style Coulomb-like DM-baryon momentum-exchange term, validating CMB spectra and matter power against the related sub-MeV freeze-in cosmology paper.

proposed resolution: Reimplement the paper's coupled background and perturbation equations as a patch on a public EDE-capable Boltzmann code (CLASS_EDE or AxiCLASS), adding the beta-dependent CDM mass term and momentum-exchange in the CDM Euler equation, and validate by recovering the uncoupled EDE limit at beta=0 and the paper's quoted H0 and S8 values.

proposed resolution: Release or reimplement the resonance-aware thermal-averaging Boltzmann solver as a micrOMEGAs extension driven by the public CalcHEP model files, parameterized by the resonance offset (M_a - 2 M_chi)/M_a, and validate it against the paper's thermal-target curves in the resonance corridor.
Dark-matter-coupled scalar-field fifth-force model (arXiv:0906.3880 · score 27)No public Einstein-Boltzmann code implements this model's dark-matter-only scalar coupling C(phi) with the chameleon-type potential: the authors' CAMB integration is unreleased, blocking both CMB benchmark screening and generation of CMB-compatible initial conditions for simulations.
proposed resolution: Add the C(phi)-coupled CDM fluid and scalar background/perturbation equations to CLASS or CAMB (following existing coupled-quintessence branches), parameterized by (beta, lambda, V(phi)), and validate against the paper's near-CDM benchmark spectra and low-ell ISW differences.
Reduced Relativistic Gas warm dark matter with phenomenological photon-baryon interaction (arXiv:1312.1937 · score 27)No Boltzmann-code implementation exists for the RRG effective-fluid dark matter with the phenomenological out-of-equilibrium photon-baryon interaction: the paper works only in the tight-coupling approximation, so full C_ell spectra and a precision Planck comparison for (b, interaction parameter) cannot be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the RRG equation of state w(a; b) as a dark-matter fluid species in CLASS (background plus perturbation equations) and add the photon-baryon interaction term to the thermodynamics/tight-coupling module, then constrain (b, interaction parameter) with the public Planck likelihood via Cobaya or MontePython.
Global-U(1) pseudo-Dirac dark matter with Goldstone dark radiation (arXiv:1404.6127 · score 27)No dedicated linear transfer function exists for this model's Goldstone-mediated DM-dark-radiation scattering: the oscillatory acoustic-damping cutoff (T_kd ~ 0.5 keV, M_cut ~ 1e9 M_sun) has not been computed in a Boltzmann code, and the card explicitly forbids substituting thermal-WDM transfer functions.
proposed resolution: Derive the angular-averaged chi-eta scattering rate (including the near-degenerate pseudo-Dirac enhancement) and map it onto the ETHOS parameterization in an ETHOS-modified CLASS, producing transfer functions over (m_chi, alpha_d, Delta, xi) validated against the paper's T_kd and M_cut benchmarks.
Pure SU(N)_x hidden gluino LSP (arXiv:1409.1222 · score 27)No Boltzmann-solver implementation exists for a fractional (few-percent) dark matter component dragged by a hidden SU(N)_x gluon bath: the hidden gluino-gluon momentum-transfer opacity and the subcomponent perturbation equations are not available in public CLASS/CAMB dark-radiation modules.

Higgs-portal dark matter from relativistic bubble expansion (arXiv:2207.02230 · score 27)No relic code combines bubble-wall production with freeze-out for the heavy Higgs-portal scalar: the interplay of freeze-out dominance at small lambda_hchi and wall-production dominance at large lambda_hchi, plus T_nuc/T_reh supercooling dilution, exists only as benchmark-level isocontours in the paper.

Self-scattering sub-threshold scalar dark matter (arXiv:2204.07078 · score 26)No pipeline exists to propagate the computed nonthermal relic distribution f(p,T) into a linear structure-formation prediction (transfer function or matter power spectrum); the card's structure_formation block is entirely unknown and the paper explicitly defers this to future work.

Type-III fermion triplet dark matter in a fast-expanding pre-BBN cosmology (arXiv:2303.13950 · score 26)No implemented Boltzmann solver computes the triplet freeze-out with the nonstandard pre-BBN expansion: the relic abundance requires solving the coannihilating Sigma_1^0/Sigma_1^+- freeze-out equations under H(T) modified by (n, T_r), which standard relic codes do not support out of the box.

Simplified spin-1 dark matter with dark photon mediator (arXiv:2307.02207 · score 26)No public implementation of the simplified spin-1 dark photon model exists: the FeynRules/CalcHEP model files for the b5/b6/b7 operators, the custom relic Boltzmann solver, and the spin-1-modified BdNMC beam-dump Monte Carlo used in the paper are all unreleased, so relic contours and LSND/MiniBooNE/NA64/LDMX event rates cannot be recomputed.

proposed resolution: Reimplement the single-species forbidden Boltzmann equation with the paper's dEFT cross section and micrOMEGAs g(T)/h(T) tables (or encode the dEFT Lagrangian in micrOMEGAs/MadDM, which handle forbidden channels via thermal averaging), and validate by reproducing the paper's Omega_CDM h^2 = 0.120 band and checking detailed balance.
Finite modular majoron (arXiv:2405.03996 · score 26)Decay-produced majorons can be relativistic or semi-relativistic today, so they act as neither pure CDM nor pure dark radiation; there is no CLASS/CAMB implementation of their phase-space distribution to confront Planck and BAO data beyond a crude Delta N_eff estimate.
proposed resolution: Feed the modulus-decay majoron momentum distribution from the gap_1 integrator into CLASS as a non-cold (ncdm) species with tabulated f(q), then evaluate Planck+BAO likelihoods in MontePython or Cobaya over (T_D, modulus abundance, m_J).
Non-thermally produced WIMP dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0009003 · score 26)No public released implementation propagates the Gaussian nonthermal WIMP distribution f(p) through a linear Boltzmann code; the original CMBFAST adaptation is not distributed, so the transfer-function cutoff cannot currently be reproduced without re-implementation.

Chameleon-controlled density-dependent dark matter interactions (arXiv:1208.4376 · score 26)No public Boltzmann solver handles freeze-out with a chameleon-controlled time-dependent dark matter mass m_chi(phi) and gauge coupling f(phi); the paper's numerical solution of the modified Boltzmann equation is not released, so relic-density and late-time annihilation predictions cannot be re-derived across parameter space.

Filtered Dirac fermion dark matter at a first-order phase transition (arXiv:1912.02830 · score 26)No public Boltzmann solver exists for dark-matter phase-space filtering at a bubble wall: the transmission/reflection kinetics with the wall profile, annihilation of reflected particles, and the resulting filtered high-momentum tail were computed with a private numerical method in the primary paper.

Semi-constrained NMSSM singlino-like neutralino LSP benchmark lines (arXiv:1202.5244 · score 25)Standard Boltzmann solvers compute the singlino relic density only in standard Big-Bang cosmology, where generic sNMSSM points overclose; there is no card-consistent tool for evaluating the relic abundance under the modified expansion or entropy histories the model invokes as viability escapes, so the relic flag cannot distinguish which nonstandard history rescues a given point.
proposed resolution: Extend a micrOMEGAs-based NMSSM relic calculation with a parameterized nonstandard pre-BBN history (modified Hubble rate and late entropy injection, as in low-reheating-temperature freeze-out treatments) so the overclosure flag can be evaluated as a function of the cosmological-history parameters alongside the resonance-annihilation option.

Inflation-produced superheavy X-particle dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/9903542 · score 21)No public solver computes the gravitational and preheating production spectrum n_X(k) of superheavy X particles as a function of inflation model, m_X, curvature coupling xi, inflaton coupling q, and T_R; only paper-level numerical examples exist.
proposed resolution: Release a Bogoliubov mode-function solver on parameterized inflationary backgrounds (inputs: inflaton potential, m_X, xi, q, T_R; outputs: k^3 n_X(k), Omega_X h^2 including entropy dilution), validated against the published few-10^13 GeV abundance window; couple lattice preheating runs (e.g. CosmoLattice-class) for the resonant q regime.
Multispecies hidden gauged SU(3) dark matter benchmark model (arXiv:1911.02981 · score 21)No public coupled Boltzmann solver handles the 4-7 stable hidden SU(3) scalar/vector species with the full network of 2-to-2 annihilation, species-conversion, and 1-to-2 processes; the paper's adapted solver is private and was only run on three benchmark points, so component relic fractions Omega_i/Omega_DM cannot be computed across the parameter space, and every downstream observable depends on these fractions.
proposed resolution: Extend the micrOMEGAs multi-component framework (currently limited to two dark sectors) to an N-species coupled system with 1-to-2 conversion terms, or obtain and release the paper's adapted solver; implement the hidden SU(3) model file (FeynRules/CalcHEP) so all 2-to-2 and 1-to-2 rates are generated automatically rather than per-benchmark.
Bolon coupled dark matter from dilatation anomaly (arXiv:1012.1175 · score 20)No Boltzmann code implements the coupled two-scalar cosmon-bolon cosmology: the route names only a 'CLASS/CAMB-style interacting scalar perturbation implementation' that does not exist, so CMB spectra, the matter power spectrum, and the bolon small-scale cutoff cannot be produced.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS (building on its quintessence and AxiCLASS oscillating-scalar infrastructure) with the exponential cosmon-bolon potential, the averaged bolon fluid from gap_1, and early-dark-energy background evolution; validate against the paper's equality estimate and the uncoupled ultralight-scalar limit.
Neutralino dark matter from heavy gravitino decay (arXiv:hep-ph/0502211 · score 20)No public code solves the full nonstandard thermal history of this scenario: modulus domination and entropy release, gravitino pair production in modulus decay, gravitino decay to neutralinos, and neutralino re-annihilation at the low post-decay temperature; standard relic solvers assume radiation-dominated thermal freeze-out.
proposed resolution: Extend micrOMEGAs' non-standard-cosmology module (or a DRAKE-style Boltzmann code) with a modulus-gravitino-neutralino decay chain parameterized by (m_phi, m_3/2, C, T_phi), including entropy injection and neutralino re-annihilation, validated against the paper's analytic yield scalings.
Gravitino dark matter from GMSB scalar decay at low reheating temperature (arXiv:0909.5108 · score 20)The free-streaming viability of decay-produced gravitinos rests on an appendix analytic estimate; no code computes the actual decay-produced gravitino phase-space distribution f(q) from S decay and its linear transfer function.
proposed resolution: Derive the two-body decay-produced f(q) for gravitinos from the oscillating S condensate and feed it to CLASS as a tabulated non-cold-relic distribution to replace the analytic free-streaming estimate with a computed transfer function.
AMSB nonthermal wino dark matter from scalar-field decay (arXiv:1004.3297 · score 20)No public Boltzmann solver implementation for wino reannihilation after late scalar/modulus decay: injecting a neutralino yield at reheat temperature T_R below freeze-out and evolving annihilation to the final abundance across AMSB scan points.
proposed resolution: Extend a relic-density code such as micrOMEGAs or IsaReD with a nonthermal injection mode that starts the Boltzmann evolution at T_R with yield b/m_phi times the scalar density and the wino <sigma v> from the AMSB spectrum, including Sommerfeld-free tree-level annihilation as in the paper.
A4 split-seesaw keV sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1107.3829 · score 20)Leptogenesis viability is asserted only from the scale comparison M_R2,M_R3 ~ 1e11-1e12 GeV versus T_R; no Boltzmann leptogenesis calculation with the model's A4-constrained Yukawa textures exists to confirm the baryon asymmetry, including the flagged degenerate-enhancement option.
proposed resolution: Implement the A4 split-seesaw Yukawa and heavy-mass matrices in a public leptogenesis Boltzmann solver such as ULYSSES and scan T_R and the heavy-neutrino degeneracy for the observed eta_B.
Supersymmetric U(1)' hylogenesis antibaryon dark matter (arXiv:1206.3304 · score 20)No public Boltzmann solver implements the three-stage hylogenesis cosmology: low-temperature modulus reheating, CP-asymmetric X decays generating equal and opposite baryon numbers, and hidden U(1)' annihilation/transfer reactions among psi and phi states.
proposed resolution: Code the primary-paper reheating and hidden-sector Boltzmann equations as a dedicated numerical solver (coupled ODEs for modulus, X, visible and hidden asymmetries, and symmetric fractions), validated against the paper's benchmark scans and baryon-number-conservation test.
Big-Bang Dark Nucleosynthesis nuclear dark matter (arXiv:1411.3739 · score 20)No calculator exists for composite dark-nucleus form factors and detector response: mapping the A distribution and radius R_A to coherent recoil spectra in tonne-scale detectors and to optically levitated/optomechanical sensor signals is currently unimplemented.
proposed resolution: Derive R_A-scaling (saturated-density) form factors for large dark nuclei and implement a recast module producing recoil and momentum-impulse spectra for xenon-class detectors and levitated-sensor proposals, integrated over the BBDN A distribution from gap_1.

proposed resolution: Release or reimplement the ETHOS opacity terms (a_n momentum-scaling series, dark-radiation temperature ratio xi) as a public patch to CLASS or CAMB, validated against the published ETHOS-3 transfer function.
L_mu - L_tau scotogenic freeze-in two-component dark matter (arXiv:1711.00553 · score 20)No public Boltzmann code solves freeze-in production from the decays of a nonthermal, never-equilibrated parent: the Z_mu_tau distribution f_Z(p) must be evolved and fed into the N_2/N_3 yield equations, which micrOMEGAs' freeze-in module (thermal-bath parent assumption) does not cover.
proposed resolution: Extend the micrOMEGAs freeze-in module (or write a standalone solver on its CalcHEP amplitudes) to evolve the unintegrated parent phase-space distribution f_Z(p,T) via a momentum-binned Boltzmann hierarchy and feed the resulting decay spectrum into the N_2/N_3 yield equations, validated against the paper's benchmark with g_mu_tau ~ 1e-11.
Z2-stabilized scalar dark matter from preheating and reheating (arXiv:1809.02338 · score 20)No public numerical Boltzmann solver covers 4-to-2 cannibal number-changing reactions in a fully decoupled dark sector with its own temperature evolution (micrOMEGAs/DarkSUSY assume 2-to-2 freeze-out with the SM bath), so the depletion in step s3 rests on analytic estimates.
proposed resolution: Implement a coupled number-density and dark-temperature Boltzmann system with the generalized <sigma v^3>_4to2 collision term (following the 1510.08063 formalism) as a standalone module or a micrOMEGAs extension, validated against the source benchmark f(T0)=5.3.
Thermal wino dark matter with inelastic kinetic decoupling (arXiv:1901.09992 · score 20)No public Boltzmann solver implements the full perturbation hierarchy for wino dark matter with inelastic neutral-charged kinetic coupling: the ETHOS-style parameterizations in modified CLASS/CAMB cover elastic DM-radiation scattering, not the two-state inelastic conversion that produces the wino's dark acoustic oscillations with overshooting, so the transfer function relies on approximate analytic estimates with calibration factors carried over from bino studies.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS (building on the ETHOS interacting-dark-matter framework) with a two-component wino sector including the temperature-dependent inelastic chi0-chi+ conversion rate and the coupled Fokker-Planck momentum evolution, and validate against the paper's T_kd = 9.2 MeV, k_fs = 3.5 pc^-1 benchmarks.
Multi-moduli nonthermal dark matter with prompt annihilation to dark radiation (arXiv:1906.03025 · score 20)No coupled Boltzmann solver exists for the two-modulus nonthermal history (phi2 and phi1 energy densities, hidden-sector chi number density with prompt chi chi -> dark radiation annihilation, and rho_dr) beyond the instantaneous-decay analytic estimates, so the final relic density and Delta N_eff cannot be computed numerically.
proposed resolution: Implement the coupled ODE system for (rho_phi2, rho_phi1, n_chi, rho_dr, rho_vis) with continuous (non-instantaneous) decay terms and the <sigma v>_ann sink, e.g. by extending an existing early-matter-domination/nonthermal relic code, and validate it against the source's dilution scalings and the m_mod > 50-100 TeV BBN floor.
Asymmetric atomic dark matter with massive dark photon bound-state formation (arXiv:2007.13787 · score 20)No maintained Boltzmann-code implementation maps this model's dark protons, dark electrons, and massive dark photon to DAO features in the CMB and matter power spectrum, so the cosmological consistency of the residual ionization used for the indirect signal cannot be checked.
proposed resolution: Extend an ETHOS-style modified CLASS with the atomic-DM tight-coupling and dark-recombination physics (using the x_D history from gap_2), and run Planck plus matter-power likelihoods to bound B_D, T_D/T_CMB, and the DAO scale for this parameter space.
Late-time dark matter to dark radiation conversion (DMDR) (arXiv:2011.04606 · score 20)The only implementation of the DMDR background and perturbation equations, DMDR-CAMB, is on-request author code with unknown maintenance status, unspecified license, and no public validation suite, so independent registry evaluation of the CMB and matter-power route depends on emailing the authors.
proposed resolution: Obtain and archive the DMDR-CAMB patch or, more robustly, reimplement the two-parameter conversion source term Q and the sourced free-streaming dark-radiation hierarchy in current public CLASS or CAMB, validating against the paper's <0.037 combined converted-fraction bound and the S8 shift.
Gauged U(1)_R superheavy LSP dark matter (arXiv:2110.01347 · score 20)No numerical Boltzmann solver run couples the inflaton decay, the T_max > T_reh reheating plasma evolution, and superheavy LSP production/annihilation (eta_X), so Omega_LSP is known only from analytic estimates that the card flags as insufficient for a precision relic abundance.
proposed resolution: Implement the coupled inflaton-radiation-LSP Boltzmann system during reheating (extending a freeze-in/reheating code such as a FRISBHEE- or micrOMEGAs-style framework with the T_max-era production integrals of hep-ph/9809453) using the model's computed inflaton widths and eta_X.
Sub-GeV hadrophilic UV freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2210.15653 · score 20)No Boltzmann solver covers UV freeze-in during and after low-temperature reheating (T_R down to ~10 MeV, finite T_max) with hadronic initial states: photon and pion annihilation rates through the effective phi-FF and phi-GG operators below the QCD scale are not implemented in micrOMEGAs or MadDM.
proposed resolution: Extend the micrOMEGAs freeze-in module (or write a dedicated solver) with a modified expansion history parameterized by (T_R, T_max), adding chiPT-derived pi-pi -> chi chi and gamma gamma -> chi chi collision terms for the hadrophilic scalar mediator, validated against the paper's m_chi Y_DM = 4.37e-10 GeV benchmarks.
Hybrid two-scalar dark sector (arXiv:2211.13653 · score 20)No public Boltzmann-solver implementation of the hybrid two-scalar dark sector exists: the authors' CLASS adaptation with the coupled scalar-fluid mapping (field-dependent DM mass, coupling function Q, modified G_eff) is not released, so CMB spectra, lensing potential, and P(k) cannot be recomputed for arbitrary hybrid-potential parameters.
proposed resolution: Implement the hybrid-potential background and perturbation equations (pressureless fluid coupled to the light scalar, with coupling Q and field-dependent mass) as a public CLASS module, building on existing coupled-dark-energy CLASS forks, and validate against the paper's published CMB lensing and P(k) deviation figures.
SU(6)/Sp(6) composite pNGB complex singlet dark matter with dark top partners (arXiv:2302.07204 · score 20)No public model implementation (FeynRules/CalcHEP or micrOMEGAs model files) exists for the SU(6)/Sp(6) complex pNGB singlet S = eta_3 + i eta_4 with dark U(1) stabilization and Z2-odd dark top partners, so the relic-density scan including the gauge-boson-dominated heavy regime cannot be reproduced with a standard Boltzmann solver.
proposed resolution: Implement the pNGB effective Lagrangian (complex S, H_2, dark top partners, C_hS, y_L/y_R, and the quartic S* S VV terms with coefficient a_V) as a FeynRules model, export to CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs, and validate against the paper's C_hS = 0 benchmark near m_S ~ 870 GeV.
Post-recombination reheating decaying cold dark matter (arXiv:2304.03750 · score 20)The modified CLASS patch implementing DCDM background and perturbation equations with decay into photons and a time-dependent T_CMB is described in the paper but not publicly released, so neither the CMB spectra nor the H0/S8 posteriors can be reproduced or extended.
proposed resolution: Reimplement the DCDM-to-photon source term (Omega_DCDM_ini, Gamma, evolving photon temperature) in public CLASS following the paper's equations, validate against the quoted Planck+FIRAS+SH0ES best fits, and wire it into a Cobaya likelihood pipeline.
Two-component baryon-scattering dark matter for cool-core cluster heating (arXiv:2306.08679 · score 20)No Boltzmann-code implementation covers a fractional baryon-scattering dark subcomponent (fraction f_chi) that is simultaneously kinetically coupled to a dominant cold dark reservoir; existing interacting-DM branches of CLASS/CAMB treat a single species scattering with baryons and do not include the dark-sector kinetic-equilibrium term or the proposed CMB-evasion variants (post-recombination parent decay, dark phase transition, dark conductivity).
proposed resolution: Extend a public interacting-dark-matter CLASS branch with a two-species dark sector: an f_chi subcomponent with sigma_n^B v^n baryon drag (n = 0, -2, -4) coupled by a dark-sector momentum-exchange term to the dominant CDM species, plus an optional post-recombination decay source term, and validate against the single-species limit.
Z_3 complex scalar asymmetric dark matter from semi-annihilation (arXiv:2306.13607 · score 20)No public Boltzmann solver tracks separate phi and anti-phi yields with the CP-violation parameter epsilon from interference of tree and one-loop semi-annihilation diagrams; existing relic-density codes (micrOMEGAs, MadDM) implement Z3 semi-annihilation only for symmetric populations.
proposed resolution: Extend micrOMEGAs (or a standalone DRAKE-style solver) with a two-species asymmetric freeze-out module parameterized by (m_phi, m_eta, <sigma v>_S, <sigma v>_A, epsilon), reproducing the primary paper's coupled yield equations and their zero-CP and maximal-CP limits.
Conversion-driven t-channel mediator dark matter (arXiv:2404.16086 · score 20)No public Boltzmann solver reproduces the conversion-driven freeze-out relic strip for this quark-philic t-channel model including the coupled X-Y conversion terms (decays, inverse decays, scatterings) with Sommerfeld enhancement and bound-state effects that the card lists as key relic dependencies.
proposed resolution: Extend the micrOMEGAs coscattering/freeze-out machinery (or DRAKE) with the coupled X-Y number-density and conversion-rate equations for a colored scalar mediator, adding Sommerfeld and bound-state correction factors for Y Y-bar annihilation, and validate against the published CDFO strip (lambda_X ~ 1e-6, Delta m of few to few tens of GeV).
Low-reheating dark-photon freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2405.06226 · score 20)The low-reheating freeze-in Boltzmann solver — the public benchmark code modified to start from a free visible-sector T_rh below m_chi with Boltzmann-suppressed production — is not publicly released, so the relic band between the BBN floor and the standard T_rh >> m_chi benchmark cannot be recomputed for new parameter points.
proposed resolution: Extend the public freeze-in direct-detection benchmark code of the earlier work (arXiv:1807.05022 lineage) with T_rh as a free input and Boltzmann-suppressed production from all tree-level SM channels, and release it validated against the paper's recovery of the standard benchmark at T_rh >> m_chi.
Inhomogeneous Chaplygin-gas gravitational-condensate dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0310181 · score 20)No public Boltzmann code implements the two-component inhomogeneous Chaplygin system: a smooth residual gas with p=-A/rho (nonzero, evolving sound speed) plus a CDM-like condensate fraction; the only implementation was an unreleased, preliminary CMBfast patch from 2003, so no modern CMB or matter power spectra can be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the residual Chaplygin gas in CLASS as a generalized-dark-matter fluid with w(a) and c_s^2(a) from p=-A/rho and rho=sqrt(A+B/gamma), plus a separate CDM component for the condensate parameterized by (Omega_gas, v^2, Omega_CDM), then couple the output spectra to the public Planck and matter-power likelihoods in Cobaya for a modern constraint pass.
Long-lived radion dark matter in Randall-Sundrum cosmology (arXiv:astro-ph/0408448 · score 20)No Boltzmann-code implementation of RS radion linear perturbations exists: the entropy/isocurvature transfer during stabilization that produces the effective baryon isocurvature S_eff is not available in CLASS/CAMB or their scalar-tensor extensions, blocking the model's critical CMB observable.
proposed resolution: Extend a scalar-tensor Boltzmann code (hi_class or a CLASS fork) with the radion field, the brane-dependent couplings alpha_R^(1), alpha_R^(2), and the stabilization-era entropy-perturbation transfer, outputting curvature and S_eff transfer functions to last scattering.
Hybrid Chaplygin gas (arXiv:astro-ph/0503428 · score 20)No Boltzmann-solver implementation exists for the two-component hybrid Chaplygin system (Chaplygin fluid with A promoted to an exponential-potential scalar), including the delta-A entropy perturbation and nonadiabatic pressure cancellation, so neither the matter power spectrum nor a modern SN/CMB/LSS confrontation of the model can be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the hybrid Chaplygin sector in CLASS or CAMB as a coupled fluid-plus-scalar module (Chaplygin background with dynamical A(phi), evolving delta phi and the induced delta p nonadiabatic term), validate against the paper's analytic result that entropy perturbations damp after horizon entry, then run standard Planck/Pantheon/BAO likelihoods through Cobaya or MontePython to quantify the large-scale-structure failure.
Flaxino dark matter with stau NLSP (arXiv:0801.4108 · score 20)No collider recast exists mapping the stau NLSP track length and delayed decay to flaxino onto LHC heavy-stable-charged-particle and stopped-particle searches; the card only gives analytic lifetime scaling and qualitative detector/stopper discussion.
proposed resolution: Implement a long-lived-stau simplified model in an existing LLP recast framework (SModelS/CheckMATE-class HSCP and stopped-particle analyses), parameterized by (m_stau, tau_stau) with tau_stau computed from F_a, m_flaxino, and the mixing.
Dark atoms with massive dark photon and millicharged subcomponent (arXiv:2001.04492 · score 20)No public Boltzmann code computes dark recombination and ionization freeze-out for atomic dark matter with a massive dark photon (B_D/m_A of order unity), so the residual millicharged fraction f_e cannot be scanned outside the paper's example points.
proposed resolution: Implement the primary paper's ionization Boltzmann equation, with massive-mediator recombination cross sections parameterized by (alpha_D, B_D, m_A), as a standalone ODE module or an extension of an existing dark-recombination solver, validated against the paper's percent-level ionization regions.
MSSM bino-stau co-annihilation dark matter with universal slepton masses (arXiv:2104.03290 · score 20)The vacuum-stability constraint on the stau strip (con_stau_vacuum_stability, charge-breaking minima from large stau mixing, including the finite-temperature bound) has no evaluation tool attached: the card cites the bound but names no code to test charge-breaking minima across the scan.
proposed resolution: Integrate an automated scalar-potential stability check (Vevacious/CosmoTransitions-class tunneling calculation of the stau-Higgs potential, including thermal corrections) into the scan pipeline, reproducing the bound of arXiv:1809.10061 used by the source.

proposed resolution: Implement the appendix's coupled equations for the X and N yields in a public stiff-ODE integrator (standalone Python/C++ or as a micrOMEGAs extension), taking the effective-operator cross sections and vector-portal kinetic-equilibrium terms as inputs, and validate by recovering the paper's benchmark yield histories and the rate hierarchy Gamma_2to2 > Gamma_el > Gamma_3to2 > H_DM.

proposed resolution: Implement the appendix coupled Boltzmann system (component yields Y_X, Y_N1, Y_N2 with 3->2 and two-loop 2->2 collision terms) as a public standalone integrator or a micrOMEGAs multi-component extension, validated against the paper's benchmark yield histories and the rate hierarchy Gamma_2to2 > Gamma_el > Gamma_3to2 > H_DM.
Kinetically coupled early dark energy and scalar field dark matter (arXiv:2308.07069 · score 20)The KCS-modified CLASS (SFDM with EDE-dependent kinetic term beta(psi) multiplying the kinetic term, plus shooting for the SFDM initial value) is author-private with no release URL, so neither observable can be recomputed or the beta/H0/S8 posteriors reproduced outside the original group.
proposed resolution: Obtain the authors' CLASS patch or re-implement the KCS equations in public CLASS by extending an existing EDE+ultralight-scalar branch (e.g. AxiCLASS) with the exponential kinetic-coupling function and its perturbation terms, validating against the published beta = 0.030 +/- 0.026, H0 = 72.38, and S8 = 0.8134 fit values.
Affine-EOS quintessence unified dark fluid (arXiv:0706.3667 · score 19)No Boltzmann-code implementation exists for the canonical affine-quintessence unified dark fluid: linear perturbations of the scalar with the hyperbolic potential (including its effective sound speed and Compton scale) have never been evolved through a CMB/matter-power pipeline, so the alpha ~ 1e-6 bound rests on a scaling argument rather than a computation.
proposed resolution: Implement the affine unified dark fluid in CLASS as either the derived scalar field (quintessence module with the hyperbolic potential and full perturbations) or a generalized-dark-matter fluid with c_s^2 set by the affine slope alpha, then compute P(k) and CMB spectra to turn the kpc-clustering and ISW arguments into quantitative constraints against Planck and galaxy-clustering data.
Gauge-mediated O'Raifeartaigh R-ball dark matter (arXiv:1106.1182 · score 19)For the parameter regions where R-balls decay before today, there is no pipeline mapping the decay products (gravitinos, gauginos, visible gauge bosons) at the computed decay epoch onto BBN and CMB energy-injection constraints, leaving the cosmological-imprint half of the detection observable unevaluated.
proposed resolution: Once gap_2 supplies branching ratios and decay temperatures, feed the injected electromagnetic/hadronic spectra into existing BBN and CMB injection codes (AlterBBN/ACROPOLIS-class for light elements, ExoCLASS-class for CMB) to produce exclusion contours in the (R, M_F, m_3/2) plane.
Non-minimally coupled relativistic BEC dark matter (arXiv:1310.3753 · score 19)The CDM-like large-scale limit before condensation is asserted qualitatively only: there is no Boltzmann-solver implementation of the almost-cold scalar with late-time condensation, so the background evolution, linear power spectrum, and the epoch at which the NMC switches on cannot be computed or checked against CMB/LSS data.
proposed resolution: Implement the scalar BEC as a CLASS species (fluid or field-level, following existing scalar-field-dark-matter CLASS patches) with a parameterized condensation transition, and verify the background and linear perturbations reduce to CDM on large scales for the relevant parameter space.
U(1)' right-handed sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:1412.7312 · score 19)No Boltzmann solver implements the coupled RH-neutrino decay/inverse-decay plus RH-sneutrino annihilation system that sets the thermal relic density in this model; standard freeze-out machinery assumes full thermal contact and does not track whether Z'-mediated interactions and N decays keep the sector coupled.
proposed resolution: Extend micrOMEGAs (once the model file from gap_1 exists) with coupled number-density equations for N_1 and N including decay/inverse-decay terms, reproducing the related-paper result that light U(1)' gaugino t-channel exchange yields the observed abundance.

proposed resolution: Adopt a public second-order induced-GW integrator (SIGWfast-class) and wire it to the model's parameterized narrow resonant-band P_R(k) (peak scale k_peak, width, amplitude), validating against the primary paper's spectra.
XC charged dark matter with a light C particle (arXiv:1702.05482 · score 19)No public Boltzmann code couples the XC dark-plasma ionization history (X, anti-X, C, massless dark photon with dark Thomson scattering off C) to linear perturbations; existing ETHOS/interacting-DR extensions of CLASS parameterize the drag rate generically but do not include the atomic-like dark recombination that sets z_dec and the DAO pattern for this model.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS with a dark-sector RECFAST-like module computing the C ionized fraction and DM-DR momentum-transfer rate from (m_X, m_C, alpha_D, xi), then either solve the full perturbation equations or map onto the ETHOS a_n/DAO parameterization for constraint reuse.

Charged leptophilic dark electron model (arXiv:1812.02182 · score 19)No Boltzmann kinetic-decoupling integrator handles this model's near-resonant elastic scattering on SM electrons (mass splitting Delta M ~ m_e) together with strong scattering on the keV neutral scalar, so the kinetic-decoupling temperature and linear power-spectrum cutoff cannot be computed beyond the paper's estimates.
proposed resolution: Extend an ETHOS-style modified CLASS (or the Bringmann-Hofmann kinetic-decoupling formalism implemented as a numerical integrator) with the resonant dark-electron/SM-electron momentum-transfer rate and phi0-mediated scattering, outputting T_kd and the linear transfer function over the (M, Delta M, M_0, alpha_0) space.
Feebly coupled leptophilic Majorana dark matter (arXiv:1904.07513 · score 19)No public Boltzmann solver handles the conversion-driven freeze-out regime of this leptophilic model, where chemical equilibrium between the Majorana DM and the charged scalar mediator breaks down and coupled per-species number-density equations with conversion terms must be solved; standard micrOMEGAs/MadDM coannihilation routines assume chemical equilibrium and misplace the viable feeble-coupling window.

Two-state unified superfluid dark sector (arXiv:1911.07371 · score 19)No linear perturbation solver exists for the unified two-state superfluid: the growth-rate difference from LCDM is the model's key cosmological signature, but no Boltzmann/fluid code implements the coupled two-state condensate perturbations with the Josephson/Rabi mixing potential and time-dependent sound speeds.
proposed resolution: Implement the two-state superfluid as an effective dark-sector fluid in CLASS: evolve the background phase/occupation equations with the cosine interspecies potential, derive delta and theta equations with the EFT sound speeds c_s(a), and output H(z), CMB spectra, and f*sigma8(z).
N2HDM Dark Singlet Phase (arXiv:2004.05382 · score 19)The electroweak (NLO) corrections to the singlet-scalar spin-independent direct-detection cross section in the N2HDM dark singlet phase exist only in a related private calculation, so precision comparisons with XENON1T-class limits rely on tree-level MicrOMEGAs output that can misplace points near the exclusion boundary.
proposed resolution: Port the arXiv:2204.13145 one-loop electroweak corrections to the H_D-nucleon effective coupling into a public module (e.g. a micrOMEGAs add-on or standalone code) and rerun the abundance-rescaled XENON1T comparison for the ScannerS-allowed DSP points.

Techni-Pati-Salam semi-integer-baryon-number composite dark matter (arXiv:2005.12302 · score 19)No solver exists for the TPS asymmetric relic abundance: computing Omega_DM/Omega_b requires a chemical-potential network with the model's equilibrium conditions plus Boltzmann suppression of the multi-component exotic sector through a strong electroweak phase transition, which standard freeze-out codes (micrOMEGAs, MadDM) do not cover.
proposed resolution: Write a dedicated chemical-potential/Boltzmann code implementing the TPS charge assignments, sphaleron and PC4F equilibrium conditions, and Boltzmann-suppressed freeze-out of the exotic components at T_star, turning the paper's qualitative Omega_DM/Omega_b formula into a numeric M_DM prediction with uncertainties.
Reproductive freeze-in self-interacting dark matter (arXiv:2007.14688 · score 19)No public Boltzmann solver integrates number-changing 2->k dark-sector reactions for a chemically underoccupied but kinetically equilibrated species, tracking the occupancy Z(t) and dark temperature T_dm(t) through the RFI phase and the subsequent cannibal-era check.

Atomic dissipative dark matter with dark black holes (arXiv:2009.05209 · score 19)No Boltzmann-solver implementation covers this model's dark-atomic linear cosmology (dark recombination and ionization history, dark acoustic oscillations for the x/c/dark-photon sector), so the large-scale-structure viability constraint on alpha_D, m_c, m_x is judged only qualitatively.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS with an atomic-dark-matter module (dark recombination via a rescaled RECFAST/HyRec treatment and ETHOS-like dark-photon tight coupling) to compute the linear power spectrum and delimit the CDM-like region of (alpha_D, m_c, m_x) parameter space.
Instantaneously decaying WIMP warm dark matter (arXiv:2305.10315 · score 19)No public Boltzmann-solver implementation exists for decay-produced nonthermal WDM with a delta-function daughter distribution f_0(q) plus an associated massless dark-radiation component; the paper's CLASS modifications were not released.

Inhomogeneous dilaton oscillaton dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0308183 · score 19)No background/linear-cosmology implementation of the two-phase dilaton exists: the split into cooled (dark-matter-like) and uncooled (dark-energy-like) regions is only an averaging argument, so the expansion history, BBN consistency, and CMB/BAO/SNe predictions cannot be computed or fit, and possible backreaction from inhomogeneous averaging is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Implement the averaged two-component dilaton (oscillating dust-like fraction plus rolling quintessence fraction, with the cooled volume fraction as a parameter) as a scalar-field/fluid species in CLASS or CAMB, then fit alpha, M, xi, and the cooling fraction to CMB, BAO, and supernova data with a standard sampler.
Complex scalar dark fluid (arXiv:astro-ph/0509592 · score 19)No cosmological Boltzmann implementation exists for this complex scalar dark fluid: existing CLASS/CAMB quintessence modules handle real fields with standard potentials, not a complex field with internal rotation interpolating between matter-like and cosmological-constant behavior, so w_D(z), CMB, and matter-power predictions cannot be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the field in CLASS either directly (two real components with the U(1) charge conserved) or as an effective generalized-dark-matter fluid using the derived w(z) and c_s^2 from gap_1, validate matter-like behavior at last scattering and w_D near -1 today, then run SN/CMB/LSS/BBN likelihoods.
Z3 scalar dark matter with exponential-growth production (arXiv:2308.09801 · score 19)The momentum-level linearized Boltzmann solver for exponential-growth (semi-production) dark matter — evolving f_chi(q,x) from a freeze-in or heavy-decay seed through the lambda_tr-driven growth phase — exists only as the paper's private calculation; no public code produces the relic abundance and final phase-space distribution for this Z3 scalar model.

Cold natural hidden-sector confinement dark matter (arXiv:1911.04648 · score 18)No public code computes the relic abundance of a cold hidden confining sector populated at temperature ratio xi_i ~ 0.006: the dark-baryon case needs hidden-sector freeze-out with composite cross sections sigma ~ 1/Lambda_i^2 at T_i << T, and the pure Yang-Mills glueball case needs a 3->2 cannibalizing Boltzmann network, neither covered by standard relic tools that assume SM thermal contact.
proposed resolution: Extend the hidden-sector temperature-ratio machinery in micrOMEGAs (or a dedicated Boltzmann code) to solve the decoupled-sector network for (xi_i, Lambda_i), including glueball 3->2 cannibalism with lattice-calibrated Yang-Mills equation of state, and validate against the paper's Lambda ~ 50 MeV glueball and 10-100 TeV/xi_i dark-baryon estimates.

proposed resolution: Implement the kurtosis-dependent velocity and phase-space corrections as an initial-conditions module (e.g. an extension of MUSIC/monofonIC) taking f(y), m, and g_d as inputs, validated against the paper's z=30-50, k~1-2 k_fs results and against a CLASS run with the tabulated f_BD(y) as a custom ncdm distribution.
Z2-odd singlet fermion N dark matter with low-scale leptogenesis (arXiv:1012.0285 · score 18)No Boltzmann solver implements this model's low-scale leptogenesis: the new S/N loop contributions to the CP asymmetry and the associated washout channels are not included in any public leptogenesis network, so Y_B cannot be computed jointly with the N relic abundance.
proposed resolution: Extend a public leptogenesis Boltzmann code such as ULYSSES with the model-specific epsilon_i (including the new Z2-odd singlet loop) and the S N_i N washout terms, then couple its output to the relic solver from gap_1 for a joint (Y_B, Omega_N h^2) scan.
Hidden photon misalignment cold dark matter (arXiv:1201.5902 · score 18)No numerical code covers resonant hidden-photon-to-photon conversion through the recombination era for sub-neV masses, where the card notes the analytic small-mixing Landau-Zener treatment breaks down and a detailed numerical treatment of the plasma-mass evolution is required.
proposed resolution: Extend a CMB thermalization/spectral-distortion code (CosmoTherm-class) with the photon-hidden-photon mixing term and the inhomogeneous ionization-history plasma mass, and solve the level-crossing conversion numerically for m_gamma_prime below a neV to replace the analytic resonance approximation.
Confined colored relic dark matter (arXiv:1802.07720 · score 18)No public Boltzmann solver implements the two-stage abundance calculation (perturbative freeze-out followed by post-confinement H_X anti-H_X rearrangement and quarkonium de-excitation with tracked stable hadron fractions); the route lists a Boltzmann solver and bound-state cross-section model as required but has null tool_or_code.
proposed resolution: Extend micrOMEGAs or a standalone relic-density solver with a second annihilation epoch module taking Lambda_D, sigma_BSF(T), and hadron-species fractions as inputs, validated against the paper's m_X-Lambda_D scaling.
Vector FIMP dark matter through a moduli portal (arXiv:1911.11862 · score 18)No public Boltzmann solver implements moduli-portal freeze-in of a vector FIMP through non-instantaneous reheating; the coupled inflaton-radiation-FIMP system with (T_R, T_max), UV-sensitive high-temperature production, and axial-modulus pole enhancement exists only as the authors' custom code.
proposed resolution: Implement the field-strength (t X X) and dual-field-strength (a X X-dual) rate densities in a public freeze-in solver extended with an inflaton-dominated reheating phase parameterized by (T_R, T_max) — e.g. extend micrOMEGAs' freeze-in module or release a standalone Boltzmann-fluid code — and validate by recovering the radiation-era-only yield and the published relic-density contours.
Semi-annihilation boosted dark matter interpretation (arXiv:2006.11264 · score 18)No public Earth-transport code handles a directional, mildly relativistic (v ~ 0.1c) boosted dark-matter flux scattering on electrons through a light vector mediator; the card's earth_stopping_constraint rests on an average-density continuous-energy-loss proxy, which also prevents a quantitative daily-modulation prediction.
proposed resolution: Extend a Monte Carlo underground-propagation code of the DaMaSCUS/DarkProp class to vector-mediated BDM-electron (and nuclear) scattering with a realistic PREM Earth density profile and source directionality, outputting the attenuated, time-dependent flux at 1600 m depth.
Surface-type DBI dark matter (arXiv:2307.04394 · score 18)The card's only route is a placeholder data transform: there is no forward-model implementation that evolves the s-DBI component (equation of state w(a) with transition scale a_d and sound speed c_s^2 = -w) through a Boltzmann code to CMB and matter-power predictions, and no identified associated code.
proposed resolution: Implement the s-DBI fluid as a generalized-dark-matter component in CLASS or CAMB (which already support a fluid with tabulated w(a) and c_s^2), using the paper's derived w(a), density evolution, and c_s^2 = -w, then constrain a_d and rho_today with standard Planck/BAO/weak-lensing likelihoods.
Subcomponent millicharged Dirac dark matter with neutrino annihilation (arXiv:2310.06611 · score 18)No public three-sector Boltzmann solver computes freeze-out and N_eff for a millicharged Dirac subcomponent whose depletion is dominated by an added neutrino annihilation channel while it retains electromagnetic coupling; existing millicharge-only freeze-out treatments give the wrong thermal history by construction.

Starobinsky-produced dark SU(N) glueball dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 17)No numerical pipeline computes the glueball relic abundance and dark temperature through the full history — scalaron decay to dark gluons in Starobinsky reheating, SU(N) confinement, 3-to-2 cannibal freeze-out, and optional entropy dilution from a second Yang-Mills sector — beyond the paper's analytic estimates.
proposed resolution: Build a coupled Boltzmann solver for the scalaron energy density, visible bath, and dark-gluon/glueball sector (cannibal 3-to-2 network with lattice-informed glueball spectrum), parameterized by (Lambda, N, xi_h, Delta), reusing existing cannibal-dark-matter freeze-out codes as the core.
Neutrinophilic B-L charged scalar dark matter (arXiv:1802.00009 · score 16)No Boltzmann-solver implementation maps this model's chi-neutrino scattering and annihilation (via the charge-two scalar with masses m_chi, m_phi and couplings mu, c_phi) onto CMB and matter-power spectra; existing nu-DM modified CLASS codes use a generic constant or T^2 cross section, not this mediator's structure, and the CMB constraint is flagged recast_required with no likelihood run.
proposed resolution: Derive the thermally averaged chi-nu momentum-transfer cross section for the charge-two mediator and add it to an existing DM-neutrino-interacting CLASS branch (ETHOS-like parameterization), then run Planck plus matter-power likelihoods in Cobaya/MontePython over (m_chi, m_phi, mu, c_phi).

Spin-2 portal FIMP freeze-in during reheating (arXiv:1911.11844 · score 16)No public Boltzmann solver implements spin-2-portal UV freeze-in during non-instantaneous reheating; the required coupled inflaton-radiation-FIMP system with (T_R, T_max), including resonant on-shell massive spin-2 production and decay near the pole, exists only as the authors' custom code, and standard freeze-in tools assume radiation domination.
proposed resolution: Implement the graviton and massive spin-2 stress-energy-coupling rate densities (light, resonant, and heavy regimes) in a public freeze-in solver extended with an inflaton-dominated reheating phase parameterized by (T_R, T_max) — e.g. extend micrOMEGAs' freeze-in module or release a standalone Boltzmann-fluid code — validating against the published relic-density contours.
Higgs-portal supersymmetric hylogenesis variant (arXiv:1206.3304 · score 15)No public Boltzmann solver implements the low-temperature-reheating hylogenesis system (modulus/X decays, CP-asymmetric baryon-number generation, and Higgs-portal symmetric depletion into light pseudoscalars) needed to compute the asymmetric relic yield for this variant.

Mirrored neutron dark matter in a visible heavy QCD axion model (arXiv:1702.00227 · score 15)No relic-density calculator handles freeze-out of composite mirror baryons at the 100 TeV scale, where annihilation proceeds through nonperturbative mirror-QCD channels near the unitarity limit in a mirror thermal bath; the card relies on an order-of-magnitude unitarity estimate (computational_representation is null).

proposed resolution: Extend a Boltzmann relic code (e.g. micrOMEGAs with user-defined cross sections) with hidden-sector entropy/temperature evolution and B prime annihilation to M prime pairs parameterized by (m_Bprime, Lambda_prime), validated against the paper's greater-than-10-TeV abundance floor.
Affine-EOS purely kinetic k-essence unified dark fluid (arXiv:0706.3667 · score 12)No Boltzmann-code implementation exists for the affine pure kinetic k-essence unified dark fluid: its perturbations with c_s^2 tied to the small affine parameter alpha have not been evolved to compute matter power suppression or the ISW response, so the alpha/c_s^2 <~ 1e-6 viability bound remains an order-of-magnitude estimate.
proposed resolution: Implement the pure kinetic k-essence field in CLASS or CAMB as a unified dark fluid (generalized-dark-matter module with c_s^2 from the k-essence L(X), or a dedicated k-essence perturbation module), verify recovery of the CDM transfer function in the alpha -> 0 limit, and compute P(k) and CMB spectra across the small-alpha regime.
Spin-0 relativistic-decay dark matter EFT (arXiv:2212.13272 · score 11)No public Boltzmann solver implements the model's injection history: a heavy companion decaying via the dimension-five operator to a massive spin-0 daughter that is relativistic at injection (redshifting from radiation-like to matter-like) together with the accompanying photon energy injection, so Delta N_eff, the H0 shift, and the free-streaming transfer function cannot be computed precisely.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS's dcdm/dr module to a two-body decay with a massive daughter evolved as an NCDM species with the delta-function decay phase-space distribution (following existing DM-to-DM+DR modified-CLASS implementations), and couple the photon branch to ExoCLASS/DarkAges-style energy-injection treatment for BBN and CMB consistency.
Lepton-portal freeze-in scalar with universal lepton couplings (arXiv:2304.02904 · score 0)The Hubble-tension target region for the universal coupling is imported from the paper rather than computed: no public CLASS/CAMB late-radiative-decay extension with an attached Planck/BAO/Pantheon likelihood exists to independently delineate the cosmology-favored (m_phi, f_phi, tau_phi) region being excluded.

Scale-invariant inverse-seesaw Majoron freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2306.07865 · score 36)The Majoron decay lifetime is only enforced as a hard tau_J > 1e25 s cut; no decay-spectrum recast maps the J -> nu nu and loop-induced charged-fermion channels onto current indirect-detection limits (neutrino telescope and gamma-ray/X-ray decay searches) in the 10 MeV to 1 GeV mass window.
proposed resolution: Compute the decay spectra (monochromatic neutrino line plus loop-induced e+e-/gamma final states, e.g. with HDMSpectra-style or low-mass spectrum tools) and recast published decaying-dark-matter limits from neutrino and gamma-ray experiments into a reusable tau_J(m_J) likelihood replacing the flat lifetime cut.

Heavy-quark and gluon-philic Majorana dark matter EFT (arXiv:2110.11857 · score 34)No experiment likelihoods are wired into the route: the XENON1T spin-independent limits and Fermi-LAT/H.E.S.S. b bbar projections are used only as digitized curves (likelihood_available is no for con_xenon1t_si_wilson_limits, con_fermilat_hess_bbbar_projection, and con_relic_density_wilson_coefficients), so Wilson-coefficient constraints cannot be recomputed statistically, including the one-loop heavy-quark-to-nucleon matching that the card flags as model dependent.
proposed resolution: Couple the EFT predictions to the public XENON1T likelihood in DDCalc/GAMBIT (using DirectDM-style RG running and loop matching for the heavy-quark operators onto nuclear responses) and to the Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods (gamLike) for the b bbar/t tbar/gluon channels, replacing curve overlays with a proper joint likelihood.
Noninteracting WIMP and QCD axion dark matter in an early matter dominated epoch (arXiv:2308.16242 · score 34)No indirect-detection likelihood is configured for the WIMP subcomponent: final-state branching ratios are unspecified and the (Omega_chi/Omega_DM)^2-scaled recast of gamma-ray limits described in the route is not implemented.
proposed resolution: Fix benchmark annihilation final states, compute spectra with PPPC4DMID or HDMSpectra as appropriate, and recast Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods (e.g. through MadDM) with the subcomponent fraction scaling from the background solver.
PBH-evaporated non-thermal WIMPy baryogenesis dark matter (arXiv:2309.16122 · score 34)No indirect-detection recast exists for the B-violating annihilation final states (single quark plus DM, neutrinos, or hidden particles): published Planck/Fermi/AMS-02/H.E.S.S./IceCube/CTA limits assume standard channels like b bbar, so the required TeV-scale cross sections cannot be properly tested.
proposed resolution: Generate the model's photon, positron, and neutrino spectra for the nonstandard final states with Pythia/PPPC4DMID (or HDMSpectra at high masses), then recast the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihoods, Planck f_eff CMB bound (via ExoCLASS), and IceCube/CTA limits onto <sigma v>_B versus m_DM.
Supersymmetric radiative-neutrino two-component dark matter (arXiv:1012.4007 · score 33)No current indirect-detection likelihood exists for metastable N1 decay: the positron/gamma-line predictions were fit to historical PAMELA/Fermi anomalies, and the card records the cosmic-ray likelihood as unavailable, so tau_N1 ~ 1e26 s benchmarks cannot be confronted with AMS-02/Fermi-LAT-era data.
proposed resolution: Compute N1 -> neutralino + leptons/photon decay spectra, feed them through a public propagation code (DRAGON or GALPROP) and Fermi-LAT diffuse/line likelihoods plus AMS-02 positron data, producing lifetime limits as a function of m_N1 and branching ratios.
Sub-keV fermionic dark matter with Fermi-pressure dwarf cores (arXiv:1611.04590 · score 33)No dwarf-spheroidal kinematic likelihood exists for quasi-degenerate fermionic cored profiles; the 70-400 eV core window rests on simplified halo-profile fits rather than a statistical comparison to stellar-kinematic data.
proposed resolution: Embed the Thomas-Fermi degenerate-core plus thermal-envelope profile family in an existing Jeans-analysis framework (e.g. GravSphere-style dwarf kinematic fits) and build a likelihood over classical dwarf spheroidal velocity-dispersion data with anisotropy marginalization.
Scotogenic inert-doublet dark matter in a fast-expanding universe (arXiv:1912.09726 · score 33)The gamma-ray observable from low-mass annihilation to W pairs is logged as future work: no computed <sigma v>_WW map over the fast-expansion-opened parameter space and no Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood evaluation exist for this model.
proposed resolution: Compute present-day <sigma v>_WW with micrOMEGAs across the FEU-allowed benchmarks and evaluate against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods (with PPPC4DMID/HDMSpectra WW spectra), rescaled by the predicted relic fraction squared.

proposed resolution: Couple the EFT predictions to the public XENON1T likelihood in DDCalc/GAMBIT (using DirectDM-style RG running and loop matching for the heavy-quark operators onto nuclear responses) and to the Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods (gamLike) for the b bbar/t tbar/gluon channels, replacing curve overlays with a proper joint likelihood.
Sub-GeV inelastic dark photon thermal relic (arXiv:2311.00032 · score 33)No assembled likelihoods exist for the three constraint channels: the Planck energy-injection bound is only a rescaled self-conjugate recast (ignoring channel-dependent deposition efficiencies), MeV gamma-ray limits from INTEGRAL/COMPTEL and projections for e-ASTROGAM/AMEGO/MAST are digitized curves without instrument response, and the inelastic electron-scattering constraint lacks a detector-level recast for XENON1T/SuperCDMS/CRESST/OSCURA thresholds.
proposed resolution: Build channel-specific recasts: compute f_eff(z) deposition efficiencies for the chi_1 chi_2 final states with ExoCLASS/DarkHistory and apply the full Planck likelihood; recast INTEGRAL/COMPTEL diffuse data with published instrument responses for the 1-100 MeV coannihilation spectrum; and implement inelastic-kinematics electron-recoil rates in a QEDark-style framework against released detector efficiencies.
Hidden-sector keV fermion warm dark matter (arXiv:1903.12545 · score 32)No CEvNS recoil likelihood exists for hidden-fermion production in coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering through Z_s/H exchange; the card notes no final experimental exclusion contour and that thresholds and resolution are decisive.

proposed resolution: Combine boosted-frame convolution of PPPC4DMID/Pythia spectra for mediator decays with the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood tables and a GALPROP/DRAGON antiproton propagation setup, packaged as a reusable recast for hidden-sector two-step annihilation with 2HDM branching fractions.
Leptophilic non-thermal WIMP model from U(1)' cosmic strings (arXiv:0905.1253 · score 32)The lepton-excess and gamma-ray fits target 2008-2009 PAMELA/ATIC/Fermi/HESS data; no modern AMS-02 positron, Fermi-LAT, or current HESS Galactic-center likelihood recast exists for this model's benchmarks.
proposed resolution: Recast the leptophilic annihilation benchmarks against AMS-02 positron-fraction and current Fermi-LAT/HESS likelihoods using a public propagation code plus published likelihood tables, updating the allowed <sigma v> and boost-factor regions.
Scalar-decay-produced cold dark matter after low-temperature reheating (arXiv:1106.0536 · score 32)No observational likelihood connects the predicted microhalo population to data: the card attaches no likelihood for microhalo abundance or the small-scale transfer-function break, so the (T_RH, v_RH) parameter space cannot be quantitatively constrained.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood from existing probes of ultracompact small-scale structure — pulsar-timing-array Doppler/Shapiro constraints, stellar microlensing limits, and (for annihilating candidates) gamma-ray boost-factor bounds — taking the calibrated microhalo mass function as input.
Pseudo-sakharon long-lived dark matter (arXiv:1805.05056 · score 32)No assembled likelihood recasts the generic CMB energy-injection and indirect-search lifetime bounds (the ~1e26-1e27 s targets) into a limit on this model's (tau_S, m_S) plane with its specific hadronic decay spectrum; only literature-level lifetime targets are quoted.
proposed resolution: Feed the gap_2 injection spectra into ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for the CMB decay bound and into published Fermi/AMS decaying-DM likelihood tables for the indirect bound, producing a tau_S(m_S) exclusion curve to compare with the 1e27 s benchmark.
SIMP dark pions through the axion portal (arXiv:1806.10139 · score 32)The CMB energy-injection constraint on axion-mediated annihilation exists only as an approximate published bound; no Planck-level likelihood links this model's annihilation spectrum (dark pions to ALPs to visible SM final states) to CMB anisotropy data.
proposed resolution: Compute the model's injected-energy spectrum from ALP decay products, feed it through ExoCLASS/DarkHistory efficiency functions f_eff(z), and evaluate against the Planck annihilation likelihood (p_ann) to replace the approximate bound with a proper likelihood.
Heavy-quark and gluon-philic real vector dark matter EFT (arXiv:2110.11857 · score 32)No experiment likelihoods are wired into the route: the XENON1T spin-independent limits and Fermi-LAT/H.E.S.S. b bbar projections are used only as digitized curves (likelihood_available is no for con_xenon1t_si_wilson_limits, con_fermilat_hess_bbbar_projection, and con_relic_density_wilson_coefficients), so Wilson-coefficient constraints cannot be recomputed statistically, including the one-loop heavy-quark-to-nucleon matching that the card flags as model dependent.

Hypercharge electroweak ALP-portal Dirac dark matter (arXiv:2405.02403 · score 32)No combined likelihood package maps this benchmark's parameter space (M_chi, M_a, f with C_aB = alpha_Y Q_Y^2/f) onto photon-line searches, CMB energy-injection bounds, and the LEP/LHC/fixed-target/flavor ALP searches; each constraint currently requires a manual paper-level recast.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast module that combines digitized gamma-ray line limits (Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, H.E.S.S., COMPTEL, EGRET), CMB ionization bounds, and existing ALP-search compilations (e.g. ALPINIST-style tables) with the hypercharge-benchmark branching-ratio calculator, exposing a per-point joint likelihood over (M_chi, M_a, f).
Dissipative dark cosmology with early matter dominance and delayed compact objects (arXiv:2405.04575 · score 32)Standard PBH evaporation constraints assume formation deep in the radiation era, but here black holes form late and inject energy around t_cool + t_decay; no recast of BBN, CMB, and gamma-ray energy-injection limits exists for this shifted, delayed injection history.
proposed resolution: Generate Hawking spectra with BlackHawk for the 1e8-1e34 g mass range and propagate energy injection at the delayed release time through DarkHistory/ExoCLASS (CMB) and an AlterBBN-style BBN code, replacing the paper's single-release-time approximation with time-resolved contours in (M_BH, f_PBH, t_cool + t_decay).
2HDM portal singlet-doublet dark matter (arXiv:1804.04930 · score 32)The combined 2HDM Higgs-sector, flavor, and invisible-width constraint evaluation (con_2hdm_higgs_colliders_flavor, likelihood_available 'partial') is not wired to current datasets for this model's spectra, including the dark-fermion contributions to invisible h/Z widths.
proposed resolution: Run HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals (or HiggsTools) with current LHC Higgs data on the 2HDM spectrum, add SuperIso/flavio for B -> X_s gamma and related flavor bounds, and include the singlet-doublet loop and invisible-width contributions computed from the model file of gap_1.
Selective p-wave Sommerfeld two-level self-interacting dark matter (arXiv:1911.03488 · score 32)No likelihood pipeline handles the model's nonmonotonic velocity-dependent annihilation: existing Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihoods and CMB energy-injection bounds assume a single velocity-independent <sigma v>, so the claimed suppression at dwarf and recombination velocities cannot be quantitatively tested.
proposed resolution: Build velocity-dispersion-weighted J-factors for the Fermi dwarf sample from stellar kinematics, fold <sigma v>(v) into the public Fermi dwarf likelihood, and integrate the low-velocity limit of S_p(v) into ExoCLASS for the CMB energy-injection constraint.
Hidden-sector dark matter with B-L vector portal (arXiv:1912.08821 · score 32)No public end-to-end likelihood exists for the joint Galactic Center gamma-ray excess plus AMS-02 antiproton fit that this model targets; the card lists likelihood_available as approximate with no likelihood_reference, and cosmic-ray propagation uncertainties are unquantified in the route.
proposed resolution: Build a joint likelihood by combining a published GCE spectrum-with-covariance likelihood with an antiproton likelihood marginalized over GALPROP/DRAGON propagation parameters, and validate against the small allowed regions quoted in the primary paper.
Hidden U(1) radiative-seesaw fermion dark matter (arXiv:2302.07008 · score 32)The H0/self-interacting-neutrino observable has no model-specific pipeline: the mapping from (g_H, m_Z', neutral-fermion mixing) to the effective coupling G_eff and a CMB Boltzmann+likelihood fit were not performed, so the claim that the model realizes the strong (~5 MeV^-2) or moderate (~100 MeV^-2) Planck-fit regimes cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Derive G_eff(g_H, m_Z', mixing) for the light hidden Z' including the tree-level neutrino-mass consistency condition, then run a modified CLASS with self-interacting neutrinos coupled to MontePython/Cobaya against Planck+BAO, reusing the existing self-interacting-neutrino likelihood setups the card cites.
Co-decaying dark matter with enhanced small-scale structure (arXiv:1711.04773 · score 31)No packaged Fermi-LAT point-source and isotropic gamma-ray background likelihood exists that accepts a microhalo population plus annihilation cross section and final states for this model; existing EMDE gamma-ray recasts in related papers are analysis-specific and not reusable.

EeV gravitino dark matter with bilinear R-parity violation (arXiv:1805.07342 · score 31)No public IceCube likelihood exists for the EeV neutrino line plus continuum from gravitino decay: the mu_prime ~ 50 keV bound is inherited from a published heavy-DM lifetime limit under fixed halo and flavor assumptions, and cannot be re-evaluated for other (m_3/2, m_SUSY, c_beta) points or halo profiles.
proposed resolution: Generate Z nu / W l / h nu decay spectra at EeV with HDMSpectra, propagate the Galactic and extragalactic flux for a chosen halo profile, and fold through IceCube's published extremely-high-energy effective areas to build a reusable tau_3/2(m_3/2) likelihood, validated against the paper's mu_prime ~ 50 keV and tau > 1e28 s benchmarks.
EeV gravitino dark matter with bilinear R-parity violation (arXiv:1805.07342 · score 31)The gamma-ray and antiproton constraints on the decaying EeV gravitino are unquantified (likelihood_available: no): the card relies on the (M_Z/m_SUSY)^2 suppression of the photon branch, but no multimessenger recast exists for non-benchmark spectra where those channels could dominate.
proposed resolution: Use HDMSpectra photon and antiproton spectra from the same Z nu / W l / h nu channels and recast published Fermi-LAT/CTA-era diffuse gamma-ray and AMS-02 antiproton decaying-DM lifetime limits to EeV masses, providing the complementary bound alongside the IceCube likelihood.
Vector-portal hidden-sector dark matter with an early matter-dominated era (arXiv:1906.00010 · score 31)Only a partial Fermi-LAT constraint exists: no packaged IGRB likelihood is available that accepts the decaying-DM-like morphology of microhalo-boosted hidden-sector annihilation, so the exclusion curves cannot be recomputed for new parameter points.
proposed resolution: Build a reusable Fermi-LAT high-latitude/IGRB likelihood module (e.g. within a framework like swordfish or a MadDM/DarkFlux-style indirect-detection interface) that takes m_X, <sigma v>, boost factor B_0, and annihilation spectrum and returns the exclusion, validated against the primary paper's curves.
Evaporating primordial black-hole dark matter as varying dark energy (arXiv:1907.05608 · score 31)The asteroid-window evaporation constraints that define where PBHs can be all of the dark matter are not implemented as a likelihood for this analysis (con_pbh_mass_evaporation_window has likelihood_available 'no' and recasting_needed 'yes'), and the paper notes the consensus on those bounds is unsettled.
proposed resolution: Digitize the current gamma-ray/light-element/CMB evaporation bounds on f_PBH(M) in the 5e14-1e16 g range (e.g. from the standard PBH constraint compilations) and add them as a prior/likelihood mask on (M_in, f_PBH) in the MCMC, propagating the monochromatic-to-extended mass-function mapping.
Two-component scalar FIMP with charged-fermion mediator (arXiv:1912.09458 · score 31)No machine-readable diffuse gamma-ray likelihood exists for a broadened two-photon spectral feature from a decaying dark-matter subcomponent; the card records partial likelihood availability with recasting needed, and existing line-search limits assume monochromatic single-component signals.

proposed resolution: Implement the ATLAS/CMS HSCP analyses for a Drell-Yan-produced charged SU(2)-singlet fermion in a recasting framework such as SModelS or CheckMATE, including mediator lifetime dependence, to obtain a mass-coupling exclusion beyond the single benchmark.
WIMP freeze-out in dEGB cosmology (arXiv:2303.05813 · score 31)No combined likelihood exists to confront a dEGB parameter point with the joint constraint set: channel-specific indirect-detection limits are only partially available, the BBN-recovery requirement has no numerical likelihood, and the late-universe compact-object bounds on (alpha, gamma) are summarized rather than reproduced as usable exclusion data.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast pipeline that combines published Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods and the Planck CMB annihilation bound per channel with digitized dEGB compact-object exclusion contours from the GW literature, plus a simple BBN consistency criterion on H(T_BBN), so allowed/excluded regions become reproducible likelihood evaluations.
Extended double-seesaw WIMP-FIMP dark matter model (arXiv:2305.02851 · score 31)No likelihood exists for the fraction-rescaled W_D constraints: the XENON1T/DarkSide-50 direct-detection, Fermi-LAT+MAGIC dwarf, Higgs-invisible, and Higgs signal-strength bounds are applied only as digitized exclusion curves rescaled by Omega_WD/Omega_Tot.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published limit curves and assemble a joint recast likelihood (e.g. within a GAMBIT-style or standalone framework) that applies relic-fraction rescaling consistently across the direct, indirect, and Higgs channels.
Fermionic scalar-portal absorption dark matter (arXiv:2308.00309 · score 31)No public likelihood exists for keV fermionic-absorption electron-ionization signals in xenon TPCs; evaluating the XENONnT/LZ/PandaX-4T reach and the XLZD projection for the model's spectral line at E about m_chi requires atomic bound-electron response and detector efficiency curves not packaged with the card.
proposed resolution: Build a reusable absorption likelihood by combining atomic ionization form factors for xenon (DarkARC/QEdark-style bound-state wavefunction calculations) with published XENONnT/PandaX-4T efficiency and background models, exposing sigma_e versus m_chi limits and XLZD projections.
QCD-like dark-pion forbidden dark matter model (arXiv:2404.03963 · score 31)No detection likelihood has been run for this model: LZ/XENONnT spin-independent limits and HESS/MAGIC multi-TeV gamma-ray limits are invoked only through the wino analogy, with no recast onto the composite dark-pion annihilation spectra and sigma_SI ~ 2e-47 cm^2 prediction.
proposed resolution: Compute the dark-pion annihilation spectra (electroweak gauge-boson final states with Sommerfeld enhancement from gap_1), recast the published HESS/MAGIC Galactic-center likelihoods over 1-100 TeV, and compare the loop-level sigma_SI against public LZ/XENONnT limit curves with neutrino-floor bracketing.
Compressed-stau No-Scale F-SU(5) bino neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1311.1164 · score 30)No target-specific Fermi-LAT likelihood for the internal-bremsstrahlung endpoint feature and the gamma-gamma/gamma-Z lines near 133/145 GeV has been applied to this benchmark; the card records both indirect-detection constraints as likelihood_available partial with recasting required and no updated Fermi-LAT likelihood used.
proposed resolution: Recast the benchmark IB and line spectra through the public Fermi-LAT bin-by-bin dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods (e.g. via MadDM or the released Fermi likelihood files) and the public Galactic-center line-search likelihood, with explicit J-factor systematics for the assumed density profiles.

Hidden-sector dark matter with baryon-number vector portal (arXiv:1912.08821 · score 30)No public end-to-end likelihood exists for the joint Galactic Center gamma-ray excess plus AMS-02 antiproton fit that this model targets; the card lists likelihood_available as approximate with no likelihood_reference, and cosmic-ray propagation uncertainties are unquantified in the route.

proposed resolution: Rebuild the joint likelihood in a public scanning framework (e.g. GAMBIT with DDCalc for XENON1T and FlavBit-style LFV likelihoods, fed by the SPheno low-energy observables), and verify it recovers the published 1.0-1.2 TeV doublet-fermion preferred region and 0.1-10 GeV compressed gaps.
T1-2A scotogenic WIMP dark matter model (arXiv:2107.04613 · score 30)No point-by-point indirect-detection evaluation exists for the accepted scan points: annihilation spectra were not extracted, so the dwarf-spheroidal gamma-ray constraint can only be applied via generic WIMP-annihilation templates with assumed branching fractions.
proposed resolution: Compute per-point annihilation branching fractions and photon spectra with micrOMEGAs or MadDM from the regenerated model files, and evaluate them against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood (gamLike or the Fermi-LAT released likelihood profiles).
Multipole vector dark matter below the GeV scale (arXiv:2303.13643 · score 30)No experiment-level likelihoods are available for the final overlay step: sub-GeV direct-detection, indirect-detection, and cosmic-ray limits on the strongly momentum-dependent multipole scattering and annihilation are taken from published exclusion plots rather than recast statistically.
proposed resolution: Recast the relevant sub-GeV direct-detection results with the model's q-dependent form-factor cross sections in a public likelihood framework, and combine with digitized CMB energy-injection and cosmic-ray annihilation limits per operator, reproducing the paper's conclusion that freeze-out survives only for toroidal/anapole operators.
Minimal U(1)' strictly anomaly-mediated wino LSP dark matter (arXiv:1203.6838 · score 30)The cosmic-string constraints are frozen at WMAP7-era quoted bounds: there is no modern recast of the model's flat-direction-reduced Gmu, loop-size assumptions, and particle-decay fraction against current CMB, pulsar-timing-array stochastic gravitational-wave, and diffuse gamma-ray data.

MDM U(1)_X cold dark matter with sterile-neutrino hot component (arXiv:1404.0236 · score 30)No flux model or likelihood exists for the high-energy neutrino signal from chi annihilation to dark photons decaying to sterile neutrinos that oscillate to active neutrinos; the card cites only a qualitative IceCube cross-section comparison.
proposed resolution: Derive the active-neutrino spectrum from chi chi -> X X with X -> nu_s nu_s and sterile-active oscillation probabilities, then recast published IceCube dark-matter annihilation neutrino-channel limits onto (m_chi, g_X, mixing angle).
Non-thermal higgsino dark matter from late decays (arXiv:1607.00004 · score 30)No implemented gamma-ray likelihood pipeline exists for the nonthermal all-DM higgsino: the Fermi-LAT dwarf bound is only quoted from the source, not rerun against the model's electroweak annihilation spectra.
proposed resolution: Wire the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods to higgsino WW/ZZ annihilation spectra from micrOMEGAs or PPPC4DMID, with the relic fraction from the nonthermal yield formula rescaling the flux.

proposed resolution: Assemble the published keV-GeV diffuse and line-search gamma-ray limits into a common likelihood grid over lifetime, decaying-component mass, and mass splitting, with an explicit abundance-fraction parameter, validated against the primary paper's exclusion statements.
Resonance-enhanced light singlet scalar dark matter (arXiv:2205.10149 · score 30)No public MeV gamma-ray forecast likelihood (instrument response, exposure, and astrophysical background model) exists for COSI or GECCO, so the paper's claim that the surviving 0.3-2 GeV window is efficiently testable cannot be turned into quantitative projected exclusions.

Multi-component non-thermal flavon portal dark sector (arXiv:2211.02057 · score 30)No interfaced likelihoods exist for the late-decay probes: BBN light-element injection from long-lived flavons, CMB energy injection from intermediate-lifetime chi_i decays, and gamma-ray/neutrino limits on semi-visible decays are all applied only as literature exclusion curves.
proposed resolution: Interface the decay-chain lifetimes and visible branching fractions to existing injection frameworks: an ACROPOLIS-class BBN code for tau_phi and visible flavon decays, ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for CMB energy injection from chi_i -> chi_j q q, and published decaying-DM gamma-ray/neutrino likelihoods for the semi-visible channel.
Right-handed neutrino dark matter with forbidden annihilation (arXiv:2304.02997 · score 30)No Fermi-LAT Galactic Center / Sgr A* likelihood is packaged for this forbidden-annihilation signal (likelihood_available is no, recasting_needed is yes), so the primary constraint cannot be re-evaluated at new parameter points.

Scalar-driven sterile-neutrino dark matter with an ultralight scalar (arXiv:2305.08095 · score 30)X-ray/gamma-ray line searches have no spatial templates or likelihood for a decay flux scaling as the line-of-sight integral of rho_DM^3 (density-dependent mixing from the local scalar field); published blank-sky, dwarf, and cluster line limits assume rho_DM scaling and cannot be reinterpreted directly.
proposed resolution: Construct rho_DM^3 line-of-sight flux templates for standard targets (Milky Way halo, dwarfs, M31, clusters) from published density profiles, quantify the profile-uncertainty systematics amplified by the cubed scaling, and recast existing XMM/NuSTAR/Chandra line-search likelihoods with these templates.
Composite neutrino-portal dark matter from a light hidden sector (arXiv:2305.09719 · score 30)No combined indirect-detection likelihood exists for the model's mixed annihilation final states: monochromatic-neutrino limits (Super-K/IceCube/ANTARES/KamLAND) and gamma-ray/positron/CMB energy-injection limits are only available as separate published exclusion curves, each assuming pure channels rather than the model's branching-dependent chi chi -> N N / nu nu spectra.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast layer that computes the branching-weighted neutrino and secondary photon/positron spectra from N decays (using PPPC4DMID/HDMSpectra-style spectral tables), rescales the published neutrino-line and Fermi/AMS/Planck CMB-injection limits accordingly, and combines them into an approximate joint likelihood over (m_chi, m_N, U_N).
Ultralight scalar dark matter with refractive neutrino masses (arXiv:2306.15718 · score 30)The astrophysical attenuation constraint is only a tau < 2.3 optical-depth criterion; no propagation calculation with line-of-sight halo profiles, source-spectrum models, flavor evolution, and their uncertainties exists for SN1987A and IceCube baselines.
proposed resolution: Extend nuSQuIDS with the nu-phi scattering cross sections sigma_+/sigma_- on the scalar background, propagate SN1987A and TXS 0506+056 fluxes through Galactic and extragalactic density profiles, and wrap the result in a likelihood with profile and source nuisance parameters.

proposed resolution: Feed the Majoron abundance, lifetime, and neutrino/photon branching ratios into a public BBN injection code (ACROPOLIS or AlterBBN) to map the excluded (m_J, tau_J) region, and overlay published ALP-like photon-coupling limits (cosmological, stellar, gamma-ray) translated to g_Jgammagamma.
Light collisional cold dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0309652 · score 30)The gamma-ray/radio bound on late S-wave annihilation of MeV-GeV light DM is stated as a requirement (S-wave suppression) without any extracted likelihood or recast pipeline connecting (m_dm, annihilation channel, velocity dependence) to indirect-detection data.
proposed resolution: Recast the annihilation constraint with existing indirect-detection tooling: compute photon spectra for the light-DM channels (e.g. with Hazma/PPPC-style spectra for MeV-GeV masses) and evaluate against published diffuse gamma-ray (INTEGRAL/COMPTEL/Fermi) and radio likelihoods, packaged as a function of m_dm and the S-wave coefficient.

proposed resolution: Build a joint likelihood combining the INTEGRAL/SPI 511 keV bulge-morphology flux measurement and the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray line-search results, parameterized in (m_chi, sigma_v_511, sigma_v_135) with an explicit halo-profile J-factor nuisance, so the down-scattering rate and loop-level line rate can be fit simultaneously.
Goldstini decaying dark matter (arXiv:1012.5300 · score 29)No modern indirect-detection likelihood exists for this decaying leptophilic scenario: the tau ~ 1e26-1e27 s target was fit to historical PAMELA/Fermi excesses, and no AMS-02 positron, current Fermi-LAT gamma, or antiproton likelihood pipeline is assembled for the three-body spectra.
proposed resolution: Propagate the tabulated injection spectra with DRAGON or GALPROP and confront them with AMS-02 positron/antiproton data and Fermi-LAT diffuse and dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods, delivering lifetime limits versus m_Gprime and leptonic branching fractions.

Higgs portal scalar hybrid dark matter (arXiv:1805.04830 · score 29)No public H.E.S.S. Galactic-center likelihood exists for the heavy-mass gamma-ray constraint on the surviving Higgs-portal coupling; only the Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood side of the indirect-detection comparison can be evaluated exactly, so the high-mass end of the coupling ceiling relies on digitized published limit curves.
proposed resolution: Implement an approximate H.E.S.S. Galactic-center likelihood by digitizing the published <sigma v> limit curves for the relevant final states (WW, hh, bb) and folding in the model's branching fractions and relic-fraction-squared rescaling, following existing GAMBIT-style H.E.S.S. recast practice.
Very supersymmetric co-decaying dark sector (arXiv:1901.02018 · score 29)No final-state-specific decay-spectrum and likelihood pipeline exists for the metastable hidden fermion's gravitino-mediated decays: the Fermi-LAT IGRB and CMB energy-injection constraints are applied through an approximate mapping onto generic dark-matter decay spectra rather than spectra computed for the actual phi*-mediated multi-body final states.
proposed resolution: Compute the photon and e+e- spectra of psi -> gravitino + (on/off-shell phi -> SM) decays with PYTHIA showering (or HDMSpectra for heavy masses), then recast the Fermi-LAT IGRB decay limits and CMB injection bounds (e.g. via ExoCLASS/DarkAges) into a lifetime likelihood as a function of m, Delta m, and m_3/2.
Millicharged excited-state scalar field dark matter halo (arXiv:2203.13218 · score 29)No public likelihood (spectrum with covariance, or spectro-morphological template fit) exists for testing the millicharged-SFDM inverse-Compton prediction against the Fermi Bubbles; the current comparison is a qualitative benchmark against the plotted spectrum.

CDF-II-favored inert two-Higgs-doublet scalar WIMP dark matter (arXiv:2204.03693 · score 29)No implemented likelihood pipeline exists for the branch-specific experimental tests: PandaX-4T spin-independent recoil on the Higgs-resonance branch, HL-LHC soft-lepton/compressed searches for the SA-coannihilation branch, and Fermi-LAT gamma-ray plus AMS-02 antiproton constraints on the SS->WW* branch; the source comparisons are limit-curve overlays without statistics.
proposed resolution: Assemble a composite likelihood around the existing micrOMEGAs/2HDMC pipeline: DDCalc for PandaX-4T (and XENONnT/LZ) SI limits, published Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods and AMS-02 antiproton likelihoods applied to micrOMEGAs WW* annihilation spectra, and CheckMATE/MadAnalysis recasts of compressed-spectrum electroweakino-like searches mapped to the inert scalars for the HL-LHC projection.
Dark cluster microhalo clumps (arXiv:2306.14981 · score 29)The complementary macroscopic direct-detection channel has no usable recast: IceCube/DeepCore macroscopic-DM limits assume inelastic detector-visible deposition, and no mapping or likelihood exists for elastic multi-scatter signatures of dark clusters.
proposed resolution: Derive the detector response (light yield per elastic multi-scatter transit) for dark clusters in large-volume detectors and recast the existing IceCube/DeepCore macroscopic-DM analysis into an (M, R, sigma_T/m_chi, f_chi) likelihood.
Vector Scotogenic HNL dark matter (arXiv:2403.04030 · score 29)No gamma-ray likelihood has been recast for this model's leptonic HNL annihilation final states; the Fermi-LAT low-mass exclusion and CTA reach statements are inherited from the source paper without a rerun, so indirect-detection constraints cannot be independently evaluated or updated.
proposed resolution: Generate annihilation spectra for the N_L N_L to charged-lepton and vector-mediated channels (micrOMEGAs or PPPC4DMID tables) and evaluate them against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal binned likelihoods and CTA Galactic-center sensitivity curves over the (M_N, sigma_v) plane.
QED-like dark sector with heavy scalar messengers (arXiv:1806.05678 · score 28)No likelihood or validated recast exists for translating the laboratory neutron dark-decay operator into neutron-star constraints for this model; the card marks the constraint recast_required with likelihood_available: no and dense-matter blocking effects unquantified.

Leptophilic flavor-violating Zprime portal Majorana dark matter (arXiv:2312.14103 · score 28)No indirect-detection/CMB likelihood is implemented for the leptonic annihilation products: con_cmb_gamma_annihilation_limits has likelihood_available 'no', and the required 'indirect-detection likelihood mapper' listed in the route resources does not exist, so the noted low-mass CMB tension cannot be evaluated quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Map the micrOMEGAs channel-by-channel sigma_v_0 output into existing public likelihoods: compute p_ann for the CMB using ExoCLASS/DarkHistory energy-deposition efficiencies for charged-lepton final states, and apply Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood tables per annihilation channel, weighted by the model branching fractions.

proposed resolution: Build a population-synthesis likelihood that draws UCMH positions from the Galactic DM distribution, computes fluxes from the calibrated profile model, and compares to the Fermi-LAT point-source catalog and isotropic diffuse measurement, with GALPROP/DRAGON propagation for the leptonic channel.
Vector-like portal scalar dark matter with finite-fermion-mass radiative corrections (arXiv:1805.10173 · score 28)No ready-to-use likelihood exists for the model's sharp gamma-ray spectral features (VIB plus line) as a function of (M_S, M_eta, y_f, portal flavor); the card records only partial gamma-ray likelihood availability and no machine-readable relic or direct-detection likelihood, so exclusion regions cannot be reproduced quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Recast the public Fermi-LAT line/dwarf-spheroidal and HESS Galactic Center likelihoods onto the model's VIB+line spectra per portal flavor, and wire quark-philic direct-detection points through a DDCalc-style XENON likelihood including the loop-induced Higgs-portal contribution, exposing the result as a reusable per-flavor likelihood grid.
Hidden Higgs portal vector dark matter with two-step cascade annihilation (arXiv:1806.05663 · score 28)The Fermi-LAT Galactic-center and dwarf-spheroidal constraints have not been recast onto the cascade spectrum: the card marks con_1806_gce_dwarfs as recasting_needed with only a partial likelihood, and no combined GCE+dwarf+g-2 fit pipeline exists for this parameter space.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast pipeline feeding the gap_2 tabulated spectra into the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood tables (and a GCE spectrum likelihood with profiled diffuse-background systematics), combined with the type-X 2HDM Delta a_mu and lepton-universality constraints, to produce joint posteriors over (m_X, m_S, m_A, tan_beta).

SU(5) inflection-point inflation primordial black-hole dark matter (arXiv:2306.04002 · score 28)No likelihood exists for the PBH abundance constraint (likelihood_available: no): evaporation, microlensing, and gamma-ray bounds in the 10^17-10^18 g window are applied as monochromatic exclusion curves, not recast onto the model's extended mass function.
proposed resolution: Recast the compiled public PBH constraint curves (PBHbounds-style compilation) onto the model's extended mass function using the standard extended-mass-function weighting, and expose the result as an f_PBH(M) likelihood over the inflaton parameters.
Dark Sink freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2312.14152 · score 28)No CMB likelihood implementation exists for the Dark Sink sector: the dark-radiation constraint is applied only as quoted T'/T thresholds, and the CMB+BAO bounds on DM-SM interactions (baryon cooling, DM pressure, power suppression) are overlaid qualitatively rather than recomputed for this model's massless-dark-photon coupling to the electromagnetic current.
proposed resolution: Implement the sink sector in a Boltzmann code: add the light sink fermion as free-streaming dark radiation with temperature T' and the Coulomb-like DM-photon/baryon scattering (sigma proportional to v^-4 class of interacting-DM models already in CLASS) to CLASS, then run the Planck+BAO likelihood to replace the quoted thresholds with a proper posterior.
Pseudo-familon dark matter (arXiv:1201.1205 · score 27)The decaying-DM cosmic-ray comparison rests on 2012-era PAMELA/Fermi-LAT/H.E.S.S. excess fits with only an approximate borrowed likelihood; no pipeline propagates the model's e-tau/mu-tau decay spectra and confronts them with modern AMS-02 positron-fraction and CALET/DAMPE e+e- data over (m_phi, tau_phi, branching fractions).
proposed resolution: Generate e+/e- spectra for the e-tau and mu-tau final states with PYTHIA 8 (replacing PYTHIA 6.4), propagate with GALPROP or DRAGON2 with a marginalized diffusion setup, and build a likelihood against AMS-02 positron fraction and DAMPE/CALET total e+e- flux, including a pulsar background component.
Nonthermal two-component singlet-scalar dark matter (arXiv:1501.02666 · score 27)No public likelihood is available for the Fermi-LAT Galactic-center excess fit used to select M_phi2 (likelihood_available: no), so the gamma-ray target can only be compared by eye to the historical spectrum.

Twin SIMPs (arXiv:1805.09345 · score 27)The gamma-ray requirement that meson mass splittings kinematically close present-day annihilation to SM final states is only an order-of-magnitude velocity comparison; no indirect-detection likelihood evaluates the splitting-dependent residual annihilation rate over the halo velocity distribution against Fermi-LAT-type limits.
proposed resolution: Compute the thermally averaged threshold-suppressed annihilation cross section as a function of mass splitting integrated over realistic halo velocity distributions, and compare with published gamma-ray annihilation limits (galactic center and dwarf spheroidal likelihoods) for the sub-GeV final states.
CP-even sneutrino dark matter in the NMSSM with Type-I seesaw (arXiv:1807.03762 · score 27)The combined likelihood (Planck relic Gaussian, XENON1T upper limit, Fermi-LAT dwarf term, HiggsBounds/HiggsSignal and B-physics terms) exists only inside the authors' private EasyScan HEP setup; no reusable likelihood package or public posterior samples are released.
proposed resolution: Recompose the scan likelihood in a public global-fit framework (e.g. GAMBIT or a released EasyScan HEP configuration) with documented priors and experimental terms, and publish the configuration plus posterior chains so the Bayesian evidence comparison can be reproduced and updated with newer data.
Neutrinophilic axion-like dark matter (arXiv:1809.01111 · score 27)No propagation-and-attenuation likelihood exists for supernova and ultrahigh-energy neutrinos traversing the neutrinophilic ALP dark-matter background: the card's astrophysical observable requires flavor- and distance-dependent modeling of scattering/decay on Galactic-to-extragalactic baselines against SN 1987A and IceCube-class data, which has not been assembled.
proposed resolution: Build a transport calculation for neutrino spectra propagating through the ALP background (attenuation and flavor-ratio distortion as functions of g_alpha_beta, m_a, L_nu), and confront it with SN 1987A event counts and IceCube diffuse-flux/flavor-ratio measurements as binned likelihoods.
Axion quark nugget dark matter with survival-based size distribution (arXiv:1903.05090 · score 27)No statistical likelihood exists for any AQN channel: macro flux limits, solar EUV/nanoflare energetics, and galactic diffuse/511 keV emission are all compared to data only at the order-of-magnitude level (likelihood_available: no for both constraints).

proposed resolution: Build a chi-square/Poisson likelihood over published COMPTEL and SPI diffuse MeV spectra (with astrophysical background modeling) that consumes the analytic dJ/dE prediction, and rerun the real- and complex-scalar-ghost cutoff limits.
Branon dark matter with thermal and misalignment production (arXiv:hep-ph/0406076 · score 27)Direct and indirect search comparisons are anchored to circa-2004 detector sensitivities (DAMA, ZEPLIN 1, EDELWEISS; qualitative gamma/positron/neutrino prospects); no modern direct-detection or indirect-detection likelihood evaluation exists for the branon parameter plane.
proposed resolution: Feed branon nucleon cross sections and annihilation spectra from the gap_1 implementation into DDCalc for LZ/XENONnT-class likelihoods and into public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal and IceCube solar-capture likelihood tools, producing an updated combined f-M constraint.
Hidden sector axion portal dark matter with p-wave freezeout and s-wave three-mediator annihilation (arXiv:1912.09446 · score 26)Only a binwise 95 percent flux-ceiling criterion is available for the Galactic Center point sources; no proper binned likelihood for the Fermi and H.E.S.S. spectra exists for this decay-in-spike signal, limiting statistical combination and parameter inference.
proposed resolution: Construct a binned Poisson/Gaussian likelihood from the published Fermi 3FGL and HESS J1745-290 spectral points with systematic nuisance parameters for the astrophysical point-source emission, replacing the binwise ceiling criterion.
Non-thermal wino LSP dark matter (arXiv:0906.4765 · score 26)No modern cosmic-ray likelihood exists for the 180-200 GeV nonthermal wino interpretation: the card's constraints are PAMELA/Fermi-era spectral comparisons with likelihood_available 'no' or 'unknown', and no AMS-02 positron/antiproton or current Fermi dwarf/Galactic-center gamma-ray recast is attached.

Familon-like WISPy pseudo-Goldstone dark matter (arXiv:1311.0880 · score 26)No likelihood or detector model maps the oscillating scalar/pseudoscalar family-current couplings and flavor-changing decay rates onto laboratory data (clock/spin-precession comparisons, rare charged-lepton decay searches); the route explicitly lists 'none supplied in primary paper' and both observables lack a signal-to-data pipeline.
proposed resolution: For chosen family-current textures, derive the time-dependent fermion mass/spin coupling signal and recast existing ultralight-scalar laboratory likelihoods (atomic clock ratio, comagnetometer, and torsion-balance datasets) plus mu-to-e-gamma/mu-to-3e style rare-decay limits into bounds on (m_phi, f_X, T_+, T_-), packaged as a reusable likelihood module.
Type-III-seesaw U(1) B-L model with two-component Dirac dark matter (arXiv:1908.04308 · score 26)No indirect-detection likelihood is implemented for the two-component annihilation gamma-ray observable: the paper cites dwarf-spheroidal searches qualitatively, and no pipeline weights each component's spectrum by its relic fraction and confronts published Fermi-LAT likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Generate per-component annihilation spectra with micrOMEGAs/PPPC4DMID, weight each by (Omega_i/Omega_DM)^2, and evaluate against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal binned likelihoods to produce sigma-v limits for the benchmark scans.
Inelastic U(1) L_mu-L_tau charged scalar dark matter (arXiv:1908.09277 · score 26)No indirect-detection likelihood recast exists for the model's cascade annihilation: applying Fermi-LAT dwarf limits to S S -> Z' Z' with mu/tau/neutrino-dominated L_mu-L_tau branching fractions requires computing the boosted photon spectrum (largely from muon/tau radiative decays), which the card encodes only qualitatively.
proposed resolution: Use MadDM or PPPC4DMID mu/tau spectra boosted through the Z' two-body cascade to build the gamma-ray spectrum for L_mu-L_tau branching fractions, then evaluate the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods to produce <sigma v>_0 limits as a function of (m_S, m_Z_prime).

Hidden-sector early cannibal-dominated dark matter cosmology (arXiv:2106.09041 · score 26)No likelihood connects the boosted annihilation signal of ECDE microhalos to Fermi-LAT IGRB data for this model; the existing IGRB recast was built for early matter domination, not cannibal-modified spectra, and the primary paper explicitly leaves the constraint analysis to future work.
proposed resolution: Adapt the early-matter-domination IGRB recast of rel_2403_18893 to cannibal-era boost factors: compute the annihilation boost from the calibrated microhalo model and evaluate it against the Fermi-LAT isotropic gamma-ray background likelihood over (annihilation cross section, k_pk, cutoff scale).
Type-III fermion triplet dark matter in a fast-expanding pre-BBN cosmology (arXiv:2303.13950 · score 26)The indirect-detection step relies on the source-quoted 1.5-2.7 TeV exclusion instead of a recomputed limit: the Sommerfeld-enhanced Sigma_1^0 annihilation cross section into W+W- is not calculated for the scanned masses and no Fermi-LAT (or H.E.S.S.) likelihood is run for the sub-1.5 TeV fast-expansion parameter space.
proposed resolution: Compute the Sommerfeld factors for the electroweak triplet (standard nonrelativistic potential treatment), generate W+W- gamma-ray spectra with a public spectrum tool, and evaluate them against the released Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood to produce a mass-dependent limit across the M_Sigma1 < 1.5 TeV scan region.

Y-interacting fourth-generation heavy neutrino dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0504621 · score 26)The gamma-ray constraint is anchored to historical EGRET diffuse-flux normalization with no reusable likelihood; no recast of the recombination-enhanced N anti-N annihilation flux against modern Fermi-LAT diffuse and dwarf-spheroidal data exists, so con_egret_alpha_y_floor is only a dated benchmark.
proposed resolution: Compute annihilation photon spectra for the Z-mediated and yy channels with modern PYTHIA 8 or PPPC4DMID tables (replacing the paper's PYTHIA 6.2 spectra), scale by the Sakharov-enhanced rate and subdominant fraction f_N, and evaluate against public Fermi-LAT diffuse-emission and dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods to replace the EGRET-based alpha_y floor.
Type-I NMSSM sneutrino WIMP dark matter (arXiv:1910.14317 · score 26)The paper's composite likelihood scan is not reproducible as released: the exact priors, the joint Planck relic + XENON-1T SI/SD + Fermi-LAT dwarf + LHC Higgs/sparticle likelihood glue, and the Type-I NMSSM SARAH model files were not published, and the direct-detection term uses XENON-1T-era rather than current LZ/XENONnT limits, which matter for the narrow 125-135 GeV co-annihilation islands.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the pipeline openly: regenerate the Type-I NMSSM in SARAH/SPheno, couple micrOMEGAs to DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT), the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood, and HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals plus SModelS for the collider terms, then rerun the MultiNest scan and validate against the paper's profile-likelihood islands.

Virtual-internal-bremsstrahlung Majorana dark matter coupled to right-handed bottom quarks (arXiv:1203.1312 · score 25)No reusable Fermi-LAT spectral-feature likelihood exists for the b bbar gamma VIB endpoint template: the original optimized target-region analysis predates Pass 8 line searches, and the card states the likelihood must be rebuilt from data products for each recast.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the optimized target-region binned likelihood on current Fermi-LAT Pass 8 data with fermipy (or recast the published Fermi line-search likelihood curves onto VIB endpoint templates), and release it as a packaged likelihood scanning (m_chi, mu) with configurable halo J-factor.
Quasi-Yukawa-unified 4-2-2 neutralino dark matter with non-universal gaugino masses (arXiv:1503.04196 · score 25)No statistical likelihood is implemented for any of the card's constraints (likelihood_available is 'no' for the WMAP relic window, direct-detection reach, and collider/flavor cuts); viability is judged by hard cuts and by comparing points to plotted historical XENON1T/CDMS/Super-K/IceCube curves rather than by evaluating current LZ/XENONnT direct-detection likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Wire the QYU 4-2-2 scan output (sigma_SI, sigma_SD, m_chi) into DDCalc or the GAMBIT DarkBit likelihoods for LZ/XENONnT, and replace the hard relic-density window with a Planck-based Gaussian likelihood on Omega_CDM h^2.
Z-prime portal right-handed neutrino dark matter in minimal gauged U(1) B-L (arXiv:1712.03652 · score 25)No decaying-DM gamma-ray likelihood is wired up for the eW/nu_e Z/nu_e h cascade channels of a 3 TeV RHN: the Fermi-LAT lifetime bound quoted in the card (a few times 1e28 s, making the DAMPE-fit lifetime marginal) cannot be re-evaluated with current dwarf, Galactic-halo, and extragalactic data.
proposed resolution: Combine HDMSpectra photon yields for chi -> eW, nuZ, nuh with published Fermi-LAT diffuse and dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods (recast from annihilation to decay with the appropriate line-of-sight D-factors) into a tau_DM(m_DM, branching fractions) likelihood module.
Z-prime portal right-handed neutrino dark matter in minimal gauged U(1) B-L (arXiv:1712.03652 · score 25)No cosmic-ray likelihood exists for the DAMPE electron-plus-positron peak from decaying 3 TeV RHN DM; the fit requires a propagation setup, background model, and the nearby-subhalo enhancement assumed by the paper, none of which is available as a reusable pipeline.
proposed resolution: Build a DAMPE e+e- spectral likelihood using DRAGON or GALPROP propagation with an injection term from chi -> eW decay spectra (HDMSpectra), a parameterized local-subhalo density profile, and the published DAMPE data points with correlated background nuisance parameters.
Asteroid-mass PBH dark matter from running-index inflation in early matter domination (arXiv:1802.06785 · score 25)PBH abundance constraints are applied as approximate monochromatic exclusion curves; no machine-readable likelihood set with a proper extended-mass-function treatment exists for the evaporation gamma-ray, microlensing, and dynamical bounds relevant to the asteroid-mass window.
proposed resolution: Package the public PBHbounds-style constraint curves with the standard extended-mass-function convolution method into a likelihood table over (alpha_s, beta_s, T_R), replacing the monochromatic proxy noted in the card's assumptions.
Asymmetric dark matter nuggets with scalar and vector forces (arXiv:1805.04512 · score 25)No implemented CMB/photon-flux likelihood pipeline accepts this model's injection history from Higgs-mixed scalar mediator decays and fusion byproducts, so the indirect-detection constraint on mixing angle and lifetime cannot be evaluated quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's decay/fusion injection spectra into DarkHistory or ExoCLASS to compute deposition efficiencies f_c(z), and evaluate against the Planck energy-injection likelihood and galactic photon-flux limits over (mediator mass, mixing angle, lifetime, byproduct abundance).
Z4 singlet Majorana fermion dark matter tied to type-I seesaw (arXiv:1806.00490 · score 25)No reusable direct-detection likelihood implementation exists for this model: the LUX/XENON1T spin-independent constraint is applied only by eye against published exclusion curves, so updated or statistically combined recasts (including the destructive-interference regions between the two mixed scalars) cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Implement the Z4 model (Majorana fermion plus two mixed scalars) as micrOMEGAs/CalcHEP model files, compute sigma_SI with standard nucleon form factors, and couple it to the public DDCalc likelihoods for LUX, XENON1T, and successor experiments to produce a proper pass-fail/likelihood surface over (M_chi, alpha, m_H_light, u).
CP-odd sneutrino dark matter in the NMSSM with Type-I seesaw (arXiv:1807.03762 · score 25)The combined likelihood (Planck relic Gaussian, XENON1T upper limit, Fermi-LAT dwarf term, HiggsBounds/HiggsSignal and B-physics terms) exists only inside the authors' private EasyScan HEP setup; no reusable likelihood package or public posterior samples are released for the CP-odd scan.
proposed resolution: Recompose the scan likelihood in a public global-fit framework (e.g. GAMBIT or a released EasyScan HEP configuration) with documented priors and experimental terms, and publish the configuration plus posterior chains so the CP-even versus CP-odd evidence comparison can be reproduced and updated with newer data.
Dynamical dark matter MATHUSLA toy ensemble (arXiv:1809.11021 · score 25)No cosmological decay likelihood exists that handles a multi-component ensemble with a spectrum of abundances and lifetimes: BBN, CMB, and diffuse X-ray/gamma-ray background limits are stated qualitatively via the abundance-lifetime balancing criterion but never evaluated.
proposed resolution: Build a wrapper that sums per-component energy injection histories and evaluates them against existing single-species tools — ACROPOLIS for BBN, ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for CMB energy injection, and published diffuse-background decaying-DM bounds — interpolated over the ensemble's (Omega_n, tau_n, branching) grid.
Landscape SUSY DFSZ mixed axion-neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1905.00443 · score 25)No implemented indirect-detection likelihood pipeline exists for the neutralino subcomponent: the Fermi-LAT+MAGIC dwarf-galaxy limit must be rescaled by the model-dependent WIMP fraction xi_chi and recomputed for higgsino-like annihilation channels, and this recast has not been coded.
proposed resolution: Wire the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods (e.g. via gamLike or MadDM's Fermi module) to the route output, rescaling the annihilation flux by xi_chi^2 and using higgsino-like WW/ZZ/hh spectra from PPPC4DMID, reproducing the excluded WIMP-fraction band of the primary paper as validation.
Pre-early-matter-domination freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1909.01457 · score 25)No recast connects the Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods to this scenario's low, channel-unspecified annihilation rate <sigma_ann v>_f: the published limits apply to standard radiation-dominated thermal WIMP benchmarks, so the quantitative (non-)exclusion of the pre-EMD freeze-in and early-equilibrium regimes is not evaluable.
proposed resolution: Choose representative annihilation channels (e.g. b bbar, tau tau), and reapply the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods directly to the (m_chi, <sigma_ann v>_f) plane of this scenario, overlaying the relic-consistent contours from the pre-EMD yield calculation.

Spinor freeze-in inelastic dark matter with dark photon portal (arXiv:2006.15672 · score 25)The SN1987A cooling constraint enters only as a quoted analytic bound on epsilon; no supernova transport calculation or likelihood covers this model's dark photon plus light dark-sector fermions (which open trapping/re-absorption channels), and the bound is unreliable outside the MeV mediator window.
proposed resolution: Rerun a supernova energy-loss calculation (following the Chang-Essig-McDermott style dark-photon luminosity treatment) including production and trapping of the dark photon with its decay to the chi_1 chi_2 pair, and publish the resulting exclusion as an (epsilon, m_V, e_D) mask usable as a route overlay.
RPV axiogenesis axion dark matter (arXiv:2110.05487 · score 25)No proton-decay recast exists for the SU(5)-motivated dimensionless RPV textures: the sfermion-mass lower bound (O(10-100) TeV for f_a of 1e8-1e11 GeV) is a text-level estimate with no likelihood tied to Super-Kamiokande/Hyper-Kamiokande kaon-mode data.
proposed resolution: Derive the p -> K nu (and related) partial widths as functions of the RPV texture and sfermion spectrum and package them against published Super-K limits and Hyper-K projections as a simple Poisson-limit likelihood.
RPV axiogenesis axion dark matter (arXiv:2110.05487 · score 25)The BBN upper bound from late LSP decays is quoted qualitatively; no calculation links the RPV-determined LSP lifetime and hadronic/electromagnetic injection to a quantitative BBN abundance constraint for this model.
proposed resolution: Compute the electroweakino LSP decay spectra through the RPV operators and feed them into an existing late-decay BBN code (ACROPOLIS-class) to map the excluded (LSP lifetime, abundance) region onto the sfermion-mass/f_a plane.
Conformal B-L pseudo-Goldstone dark matter (arXiv:2302.11072 · score 25)No IceCube decaying-dark-matter likelihood is available for the dominant two-neutrino decay channel over the model's 1e5-1e13 GeV mass range; the card records likelihood_available: no and only a cited limit, so the tau_DM > 1e28 s viability region cannot be re-evaluated quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published IceCube decaying-DM lifetime limit for the nu nu channel (or wrap a public IceCube point-source/diffuse likelihood) into a lifetime-mass likelihood, using HDMSpectra decay spectra and a standard NFW halo D-factor with profile uncertainty.

proposed resolution: Implement the paper's spin-2 production cross sections with a GEANT4-derived (or tabulated) positron track-length distribution and the published NA64 missing-energy signal efficiency, validate against the existing NA64 EOT 3.22e11 exclusion, and release a yield-to-limit recast covering (m_G, m_chi, c_ee^G/Lambda, c_chi^G/Lambda) at the NA64e 5e12 and LDMX 1e15 EOT benchmarks.
Present-decaying lepton-number SUSY Q-ball dark-matter subcomponent (arXiv:2403.01675 · score 25)No likelihood exists for confronting the decaying-Q-ball MeV spectrum (67.5 MeV line plus sub-50 MeV continuum) and 511 keV positron signal with data: the paper compares raw fluxes to COMPTEL 1-30 MeV and EGRET 30-100 MeV diffuse observations without astrophysical background modeling, so Omega_Q bounds are order-of-magnitude only.
proposed resolution: Build a Galactic decaying-dark-matter likelihood for the inner-Galaxy MeV band using COMPTEL/EGRET (and INTEGRAL/SPI for 511 keV) data with a GALPROP-based diffuse background model and an NFW decaying-subcomponent template, parameterized by (Omega_Q, tau_Q, injected spectrum); this would also serve future MeV missions such as COSI.
Low-tension brane-world branon WIMP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0411076 · score 25)All search constraints are frozen at the 2004/2005 landscape with no machine-readable likelihoods: collider limits are undigitized Table 1 entries, direct detection is a historical DAMA/ZEPLIN/EDELWEISS insensitivity statement, and no modern mono-X, direct, indirect, or precision-loop likelihood exists for the M-f plane.
proposed resolution: Using the gap_1 model files, recast current LHC mono-photon/monojet analyses with MadAnalysis5 or CheckMATE within EFT-valid kinematics, evaluate LZ/XENONnT direct-detection likelihoods through DDCalc and Fermi-LAT dwarf/IceCube solar-capture likelihoods for indirect channels, and encode the published virtual-branon g-2/four-fermion formulas with explicit cutoff dependence as a precision-observable likelihood module.
Fermionic FIMP dark matter through a moduli portal (arXiv:1911.11862 · score 24)No direct-detection or collider recast exists for the feeble moduli-portal couplings of the fermionic FIMP: likelihood_available is no/unknown for all constraints and no recoil or collider rate calculation appears in the read text, so the laboratory observable cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Derive the nucleon-level scattering cross section induced by real and axial modulus exchange (via the Higgs and gauge-boson couplings), recast it through public direct-detection likelihoods (e.g. DDCalc against LZ and XENONnT), and map collider null searches onto the (m_X, m_phi, Lambda) plane.
Hidden-sector dark matter with Higgs scalar portal (arXiv:1912.08821 · score 24)No public end-to-end likelihood exists for the joint Galactic Center gamma-ray excess plus AMS-02 antiproton fit that this model targets; the card lists likelihood_available as approximate with no likelihood_reference, and cosmic-ray propagation uncertainties are unquantified in the route.
proposed resolution: Build a joint likelihood by combining a published GCE spectrum-with-covariance likelihood with an antiproton likelihood marginalized over GALPROP/DRAGON propagation parameters, and validate against the Higgs-portal allowed regions quoted in the primary paper.
B-L right-handed sneutrino inflaton dark matter (arXiv:0708.3983 · score 24)No assembled IceCube solar-capture likelihood exists for this model's mostly-leptonic B-L annihilation final states; only event-rate comparisons in related papers are available, and the neutrino-transport plus effective-area recast has not been packaged.

proposed resolution: Compute the e+/e- and gamma spectra of the dark-boson cascade (dark-photon spectra plus Pythia showering), propagate charged cosmic rays with GALPROP or DRAGON2, and confront Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal and Galactic-center likelihoods plus CMB energy-injection limits for the Sommerfeld-enhanced cross section.
H-parity stable Higgs dark matter in SO(5) x U(1) gauge-Higgs unification (arXiv:1010.6135 · score 24)The collider consequences (modified Higgs/fermion/gauge couplings, KK spectrum, H-parity-forbidden decays) have never been recast against LHC searches for this model, so no exclusion on (theta_H, z_L, m_KK) exists beyond the model-internal selection rule.
proposed resolution: Using the model implementation from gap_1, recast LHC Higgs-coupling global fits (kappa framework) and KK-resonance/electroweakino-like searches via CheckMATE or MadAnalysis onto the (theta_H, z_L) plane, verifying that H-parity forbids single-odd-state decays in generated events.
Anomalous U(1) supersymmetric radiative seesaw dark matter (arXiv:1011.2839 · score 24)No likelihood exists for the decaying-N_1 indirect signatures: neither a gamma-ray line search recast at E_gamma=(M1^2-m_chi^2)/(2 M1) for a decaying (not annihilating) TeV component with sub-unity abundance fraction, nor a charged-lepton (positron/electron) spectrum comparison including propagation.
proposed resolution: Recast published Fermi-LAT line-search and AMS-02/Fermi charged-lepton limits for decaying dark matter, rescaling by the N_1 abundance fraction; use an existing propagation code (GALPROP or DRAGON) for the charged-lepton channel and package the result as a tau_N1(M1, m_chi) lower-bound likelihood.
Secluded U(1)' neutralino dark matter benchmarks (arXiv:1012.5105 · score 24)No LHC recast exists for the secluded U(1)' multilepton plus missing-energy cascades: current electroweakino/sneutrino search interpretations assume MSSM topologies, not the enlarged neutralino sector with five extra neutral fermions.
proposed resolution: Generate benchmark events with MadGraph/Pythia/Delphes from the re-implemented model and recast current ATLAS/CMS multilepton+MET electroweakino searches in CheckMATE or MadAnalysis 5, reporting exclusion likelihoods for the benchmark spectra.
Flipped SU(5) non-universal-Higgs neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1101.0835 · score 24)The solar muon-flux prediction is only compared against IceCube 22-string limit curves; no likelihood with current IceCube/DeepCore effective areas, thresholds, and per-channel (W+W-, tau+tau-) neutrino yields exists for this flipped-SU(5) scan.

Interacting two-component dark matter conversion model (arXiv:1112.4030 · score 24)The cosmic-ray constraint rests on historical PAMELA/Fermi-LAT/HESS excesses with no likelihood; no modern recast against AMS-02 positron/electron data (and associated gamma-ray/CMB annihilation bounds for a leptophilic TeV candidate) exists for the boosted chi_1 annihilation source term.
proposed resolution: Compute the leptonic injection spectra (e.g. with PPPC4DMID or HDMSpectra tables for the triplet-scalar leptonic final states), propagate with DRAGON or GALPROP marginalizing over propagation nuisances, and fit AMS-02 positron and electron spectra, cross-checking against Fermi dwarf-spheroidal and Planck CMB annihilation likelihoods.
Asymmetric higgsino dark matter (arXiv:1201.2699 · score 24)No indirect-detection likelihood has been connected to the regenerated symmetric higgsino component: the sigma_ann v ~ 1e-26 (1 TeV/mu)^2 cm^3/s WW/ZZ rate weighted by the symmetric fraction has not been evaluated against Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal or CTA-class likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Feed the symmetric-fraction output of the gap_1 solver into the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood (WW/ZZ spectra from PPPC4DMID) to bound the (mu, m0) plane, rescaling the annihilation signal by the square of the symmetric fraction.
Pure gravity mediation neutral wino dark matter (arXiv:1202.2253 · score 24)No public antiproton likelihood with marginalized propagation and halo uncertainties exists for the wino W-pair channel; the card's PAMELA/AMS constraint is a low-robustness upper-limit interpretation requiring full recasting.
proposed resolution: Build an AMS-02 antiproton likelihood for the WW channel using a DRAGON2- or GALPROP-based propagation grid with propagation parameters marginalized against B/C data, released as tabulated likelihood grids in (m_wino, <sigma v>).
Virtual-internal-bremsstrahlung Majorana dark matter coupled to right-handed muons (arXiv:1203.1312 · score 24)No reusable Fermi-LAT spectral-feature likelihood exists for the mu+ mu- gamma VIB endpoint template: the original optimized target-region analysis predates Pass 8 line searches, and the card states the likelihood must be rebuilt from data products for each recast.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the optimized target-region binned likelihood on current Fermi-LAT Pass 8 data with fermipy (or recast the published Fermi line-search likelihood curves onto VIB endpoint templates), and release it as a packaged likelihood scanning (m_chi, mu) with configurable halo J-factor.

Zee-Babu global U(1) B-L complex scalar dark matter (arXiv:1209.1685 · score 24)The gamma-line observable is anchored to the tentative Fermi-LAT 130 GeV line target (likelihood_available no); no current gamma-ray line-search likelihood or updated limit recast for X_R X_R -> gamma gamma exists on the card.
proposed resolution: Replace the historical line target with current Fermi-LAT (and H.E.S.S.) line-search upper limits on <sigma v>_gamma_gamma at m_R ~ 130 GeV, implemented as a likelihood over the model's predicted line rate.
Extra-light-modulus dilution of nonthermal LSP dark matter in mirage mediation (arXiv:1603.08399 · score 24)No implemented pipeline connects the diluted nonthermal LSP scenario to modern direct-, indirect-, and collider-search likelihoods; existing neutralino tools assume a thermal history and need the entropy-dilution rescaling and a concrete wino/Higgsino benchmark spectrum wired in.
proposed resolution: Build benchmark mirage-mediation spectra with a public spectrum generator, feed them to micrOMEGAs for rates, and apply DDCalc-style direct-detection and Fermi-LAT dwarf indirect-detection likelihoods with the relic fraction fixed by the moduli-dilution calculation instead of thermal freeze-out.
Fermionic dark matter with scalar mediator for electroweak baryogenesis (arXiv:1703.06506 · score 24)No reusable Fermi Galactic Center gamma-ray likelihood or per-channel <sigma v> limit tables exist for the mediator-mixing-weighted SM final states, so the indirect-detection route cannot produce quantitative pass/fail results.
proposed resolution: Recast published Fermi LAT Galactic Center and dwarf-spheroidal limits into per-channel <sigma v>(m_d) tables (using the public Fermi dSph likelihood release) and weight them by the MicrOMEGAs branching fractions of each scan point.
Cosmic-selection-rule SU(N)d glueball dark matter (arXiv:1704.02347 · score 24)The gamma/X-ray constraint is applied as a single approximate lifetime floor (tau_phi > ~1e28 s) rather than an energy-dependent likelihood over the glueball mass range, so the m_Q lower bound inherits an unquantified uncertainty.
proposed resolution: Assemble published X-ray and gamma-ray decaying-dark-matter lifetime limits as a function of photon energy into a lookup table spanning the relevant m_phi range, and apply the loop-induced two-photon branching fraction to convert them into (m_phi, m_Q, N_d) exclusions.
Dark U(1)_D Breit-Wigner leptophilic dark matter model (arXiv:1712.00372 · score 24)No packaged joint likelihood exists to quantitatively re-evaluate the DAMPE/AMS-02 CRE fit and the Fermi-LAT dwarf-galaxy compatibility for this model's specific leptonic branching pattern (0.484/0.508/0.008); the paper's DRAGON-embedded MCMC setup is not released, so the constraints step can only reproduce qualitative compatibility arguments.
proposed resolution: Package a DAMPE+AMS-02 CRE likelihood module (e.g. within GAMBIT/DarkBit or a standalone python likelihood) with a DRAGON or GALPROP propagation wrapper, and recast the public Fermi-LAT dwarf bin-by-bin likelihood tables against PPPC spectra for the fitted branching fractions.
Hidden U(1)_H bosonic H2 dark matter for radiative neutrino mass (arXiv:1801.04729 · score 24)No public likelihood exists for the DAMPE e+e- feature from Z'-pair-mediated four-lepton annihilation: the flux normalization depends on an unmodeled nearby-subhalo assumption and no cosmic-ray propagation recast is packaged.
proposed resolution: Build a recast pipeline that convolves the four-lepton annihilation spectrum (e.g. from micrOMEGAs/PPPC spectra) with a GALPROP/DRAGON propagation model and an explicit local-subhalo flux model, and package the DAMPE spectral fit as a reusable likelihood.
Primordial extremal black holes with dark electromagnetism (arXiv:1906.04858 · score 24)No IceCube/HAWC transient likelihood is implemented for short high-energy neutrino and gamma-ray bursts from evaporating merger remnants; the route lists all three detector likelihoods as unavailable.

Decaying super-heavy dark matter explanation of IceCube PeV neutrinos and baryon asymmetry (arXiv:1911.10148 · score 24)No IceCube likelihood or exposure model is implemented: the constraint is an ad hoc chi-square over selected published flux points (sometimes including pink-band points), and the card documents that changing the selection moves the best-fit M_X between 1e7 and 1e11 GeV, so the mass/lifetime posterior is not robustly evaluable.
proposed resolution: Build a Poisson event-level likelihood from the public IceCube HESE 7.5-year data release (effective areas, energy-zenith response) for the summed Galactic plus extragalactic decay flux, marginalizing over an astrophysical power-law component, replacing the point-selection chi-square.

proposed resolution: Generate photon spectra for each phi_i phi_j -> phi_k h and annihilation channel with micrOMEGAs/PPPC4DMID, weight them by the micrOMEGAs relic fractions, and evaluate the summed spectrum against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihood tables (e.g. via the gamLike/DDCalc-style interface used in GAMBIT).
Z2 x Z2 two-inert-doublet 3HDM two-component dark matter (arXiv:2202.10514 · score 24)No statistical likelihoods are wired to any of the model's constraints: Planck relic density, XENON1T SI scattering (which needs per-component local-fraction rescaling), and Fermi-LAT/PAMELA annihilation limits are all applied as digitized exclusion curves with likelihood_available 'no', preventing a proper global fit of the two-component parameter space.
proposed resolution: Couple the model to an existing global-fit framework (e.g. a GAMBIT model entry) whose DarkBit likelihoods already implement Planck, XENON1T, and Fermi dwarf-spheroidal statistics, extending the direct- and indirect-detection likelihoods to rescale each component by Omega_i/Omega_T.
SO(10)-embedded fermion triplet dark matter (arXiv:2204.06392 · score 24)None of the three constraints carries a likelihood (all likelihood_available: no): PandaX-II/XENON1T/LUX direct limits, the Fermi-LAT gamma-ray limit, and the Super-K proton-decay bound are applied only as quoted exclusion statements, so no quantitative confrontation of the model is possible.
proposed resolution: Assemble DDCalc likelihoods for the xenon experiments, the public Fermi-LAT dwarf/Galactic-center likelihood for the W+W- channel with Sommerfeld-corrected <sigma v>, and a Poisson likelihood from the Super-Kamiokande p -> pi0 e+ exposure for tau_p.

proposed resolution: Assemble a constraint pipeline that applies the standard extended-mass-function recasting method to public monochromatic bound compilations (PBHbounds-class data) for the model's multi-peak spectra, and couples the PyTransport-computed P_R(k) to the Planck 2018 likelihood via a primordial-spectrum input to CLASS/CAMB to test CMB-scale oscillation viability.

proposed resolution: Digitize the model-specific exclusion curves and re-derive them within a public ALP-limits framework (recasting beam-dump, rare K/B decay, and stellar/SN energy-loss bounds with the DFSZ-like fermionic coupling pattern and loop-induced gauge couplings), packaged as reusable (m_a, g_aff) exclusion tables.
Post-recombination superheavy scalar dark matter decaying to gravitons (arXiv:2304.11222 · score 24)No likelihood is available for the diffuse gamma-ray comparison: the LHAASO diffuse-flux constraint used as reference was built for ALP conversion, and no released likelihood, exposure, or background model applies to the converted-graviton spectral shape of this model.
proposed resolution: Construct a binned likelihood from the published LHAASO diffuse gamma-ray flux measurements with a Galactic diffuse-emission background model, parameterized by (M_phi, Gamma, Omega_gw h0^2) times the conversion probability, and validate by reproducing the primary paper's order-unity-abundance sensitivity estimate.
Near-continuum Z-portal dark matter (arXiv:2306.13009 · score 24)No collider analysis implementation or likelihood exists for near-continuum Z-portal cascades: standard recast chains have no signal region tuned to soft high-multiplicity fermions plus missing energy with possible displaced vertices, no MadGraph-style model file handles the dense KK tower, and LHC limits were deferred by the authors.

Primordial black hole dark matter from slow supercooled first-order phase transitions (arXiv:2402.04158 · score 24)No machine-readable likelihood converts the model's extended PBH mass function into an exclusion in the (beta/H_0, T_reh) plane; the constraint step relies on overlaying public monochromatic PBH limit curves, which the card notes require recasting for extended mass functions and tails.
proposed resolution: Extend a public PBH constraint compilation to an extended-mass-function recast tool that convolves the critical-collapse mass function with evaporation/BBN, gamma-ray, microlensing, lensing, and accretion limit curves and returns f_PBH exclusions per phase-transition parameter point.

proposed resolution: Compute the velocity-averaged enhanced annihilation plus bound-state-decay spectra for halo velocity distributions and recast against existing Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal limits and Planck energy-injection constraints (via ExoCLASS), scanning m_chi, m_V, alpha over the relic-viable surface.
Light moduli dark matter with anthropically selected abundance (arXiv:1209.6403 · score 24)No public, reusable X-ray line-search likelihood exists for a generic two-photon-decaying scalar: the Suzaku Draco/Ursa Minor analysis lives only in the primary paper, and external Chandra/Suzaku/Fermi-GBM line searches are published as sterile-neutrino mixing-angle limits that must be converted to a generic decay width before they constrain (m_phi, tau_phi, f_phi).
proposed resolution: Build an XSPEC/HEAsoft-based line-flux likelihood over archival Suzaku XIS (Draco, Ursa Minor) and complementary XMM/Chandra dwarf and blank-sky spectra, parameterized by (E_gamma, decay width, f_phi) with target D-factor priors, and include a derivation layer converting published sterile-neutrino sin^2(2theta) line limits into generic two-photon decay-rate limits across the 0.7-10 keV band.
Fermionic dark matter with pseudo-scalar Yukawa interaction (arXiv:1408.4929 · score 24)No public likelihood is available for the Fermi-LAT Galactic Center excess fit used for the 38 GeV b-bbar benchmark; the card marks likelihood_available unknown and robustness low, with background systematics unquantified.

Light vector dark matter with neutrino contact scattering (arXiv:1903.05096 · score 24)No packaged likelihood exists for the multimessenger observables: neither a source-population coincidence likelihood (TXS 0506+056-type associations vs decorrelation probability) nor a diffuse spectral/anisotropy likelihood against IceCube data (likelihoods: 'none packaged', likelihood_available: no).
proposed resolution: Build a coincidence-statistics likelihood over the IceCube alert catalog (association probability as a function of survival probability per source) plus a binned diffuse-flux likelihood, taking the propagation-code outputs as signal templates and marginalizing over source spectra and DM column uncertainties.
Fermi-ball dark matter from a quartic dark-sector phase transition (arXiv:2107.00859 · score 24)No public event-rate likelihood exists for the Subaru-HSC M31 microlensing survey applicable to Fermi balls, including the survey detection-efficiency curves and finite-size (extended-lens) corrections needed when R_FB approaches the Einstein radius; the route can only screen against the paper's published exclusion curve.

ALP-assisted SU(2)_D vector dark matter with catalyzed freeze-out (arXiv:2107.13475 · score 24)No implemented indirect-detection recast exists for the cascade gamma-ray signal on the ALP-modified relic contours: boosted catalyst-decay spectra folded through the Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood and CTA sensitivity have not been computed for this variant's viable parameter space.
proposed resolution: Generate Zprime -> SM decay spectra with Pythia or PPPC4DMID tables, boost through the X X -> Zprime Zprime cascade, and evaluate with the published Fermi-LAT six-year dwarf bin-by-bin likelihoods and CTA projections using standard J-factors, scanning m_X, r_XZprime, tau_C, and m_X/f_a along the ALP-shifted relic contours.

No-Scale Flipped SU(5) neutralino dark matter with TeV flippons (arXiv:1208.1999 · score 23)No Fermi-LAT likelihood has been constructed for the model's predicted 130-145 GeV gamma/Z line and internal-bremsstrahlung feature from the compressed stau-neutralino spectrum; the historical 130 GeV line claim cannot be replaced by a current statistical statement.
proposed resolution: Recast the current Fermi-LAT Galactic-center line-search likelihood (published line-search results with Fermi ScienceTools/fermipy) against the model's predicted line energies and IB spectrum for benchmark halo profiles.
Supersymmetric U(1)_B x U(1)_L multicomponent cold dark matter model (arXiv:1012.4679 · score 23)No modern likelihoods exist for any of the model's three observation channels: the direct-detection benchmark still targets the superseded CoGeNT/DAMA region, the leptophilic fit targets historical PAMELA/Fermi excesses, and no LHC recast of the Z_B/Z_L and exotic-fermion sector has been performed.
proposed resolution: Couple the model rates to DDCalc-style likelihoods for current xenon experiments (rescaled by component fractions), replace the PAMELA/Fermi targets with AMS-02 positron likelihoods run through GALPROP/DRAGON propagation, and recast LHC dilepton/dijet Z' and heavy-quark searches onto the Z_B, Z_L, and exotic-fermion masses with SModelS/CheckMATE-type tools.
Composite asymmetric techni-baryon dark matter from technicolor assisted leptogenesis (arXiv:1112.1939 · score 23)The BBN/entropy-injection lifetime window (tau_TB < 1 s or > 1e26 s) is only an order-of-magnitude estimate; no BBN energy-injection or late-decay indirect-detection likelihood has been run for decaying technibaryons with unspecified SM final states.
proposed resolution: Specify the dimension-six decay final states, then recast with existing public machinery: BBN injection constraints via ACROPOLIS or the Kawasaki-Moroi-style tables for tau < 1e12 s, and late-decay gamma-ray/CMB constraints via exoCLASS/DarkHistory and Fermi-LAT decaying-DM likelihoods for tau > 1e26 s.

Spread Supersymmetry with wino LSP dark matter (arXiv:1210.2395 · score 23)Indirect-detection evaluation is incomplete: H.E.S.S. gamma-line likelihoods are not public and no assembled recast propagates the wino fraction (Omega_W/Omega_DM)^2 scaling with halo-profile and antiproton-propagation uncertainties through Fermi, H.E.S.S., and AMS-02 data.
proposed resolution: Build a wino indirect-detection likelihood combining public Fermi dwarf likelihoods, a reproduced H.E.S.S. line-search limit, and an AMS-02 antiproton recast with marginalized halo/propagation nuisance parameters, parameterized by (M_2, Omega_W/Omega_DM).

proposed resolution: Implement the degenerate Fermi-gas density and velocity-dispersion profile as a mass model inside an existing public Jeans-analysis framework (e.g. pyGravSphere) and fit the eight classical dwarf spheroidals' dispersion profiles over (m_f, rho_0).
Radiative neutrino-mass model with neutrino-interacting MeV dark matter (arXiv:1512.08796 · score 23)The few-MeV lower-mass floor from BBN/CMB radiation density (N_eff heating by annihilation into neutrinos) is applied only as a literature statement; no likelihood or model-specific N_eff computation exists for this candidate (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: partial).
proposed resolution: Compute N_eff(m_N) for a Majorana fermion annihilating into neutrinos with a neutrino-decoupling code (nudec_BSM-type) plus AlterBBN for light-element yields, and package the result as a tabulated likelihood on (m_N, annihilation channel).
CP-violating spin-0 mediator self-interacting fermion dark matter (arXiv:1704.02149 · score 23)No recast pipeline exists that maps the model's late-time annihilation rate, mediator branching ratios, and CP-mixed nucleon coupling onto the Planck CMB energy-injection bound, indirect-detection limits, direct-detection curves, and the BBN mediator-lifetime floor; the card records that no constraint curves were digitized and lists constraint-curve digitization as a required resource.
proposed resolution: Digitize the cited Planck f_eff, direct-detection, and BBN limit curves; compute mediator decay branching fractions versus m_phi and alpha_SM with standard spectra tables; and assemble a mask-generating recast module over (m_chi, m_phi, alpha, y_SM, alpha_SM) that reproduces the paper's excluded regions.
Electron-flavored Dirac dark matter, Model I (arXiv:1712.00037 · score 23)No public likelihood exists for a TeV e+e- spectral feature in DAMPE, and the combined indirect recast (DAMPE line, AMS-02 positrons, CMB energy injection, IceCube) used to bound <sigma v>_ee is not packaged; the paper's DAMPE-favored region also predates current cosmic-ray data.
proposed resolution: Build a binned DAMPE electron-plus-positron likelihood including the published energy resolution, propagate the e+e- injection with GALPROP or DRAGON for the local flux, and add CMB energy-injection limits via ExoCLASS/CLASS with Planck data to produce an updated combined constraint on <sigma v>_ee versus m_chi.
Angular-momentum-stabilized self-destructing dark positronium (arXiv:1712.00455 · score 23)No likelihood or recast framework exists for visible-energy SDDM decay topologies (one to three lepton pairs with fixed invariant masses and directionality) in large neutrino detectors; existing boosted-DM searches provide context but no packaged efficiencies, backgrounds, or event-rate-per-volume limits for this signature.
proposed resolution: Build a recast of Super-K and Borexino multi-lepton-pair searches: simulate the SDDM final states with a detector-response parameterization (energy resolution, Cherenkov-ring reconstruction efficiencies from published boosted-DM analyses), and publish a rate-per-volume likelihood in the m_V versus daughter-mass plane as the card's validation tests specify.
Top-philic Majorana dark matter with colored t-channel mediator (arXiv:1802.00814 · score 23)No packaged likelihood pipeline exists for the model's threshold-dependent indirect-detection final states (gg/Higgs-mediated below top threshold, Wbt near threshold, tt above), so Fermi-LAT dwarf, Galactic-center line, and AMS-02 antiproton limits must be recast by hand with external J-factor and propagation assumptions.
proposed resolution: Assemble a likelihood wrapper combining the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods with PPPC4DMID-style spectra for the channel mix as a function of m_chi, plus an AMS-02 antiproton likelihood with a stated propagation-model prior.
Agnostic vector-portal self-interacting dark matter (arXiv:1912.06681 · score 23)No CMB/gamma-ray energy-injection likelihood handles annihilation into long-lived boosted vector mediators: the constraint on epsilon is obtained by approximately rescaling prompt-annihilation limits for the boosted decay time and Br_EM, which the card flags as approximate and implemented only qualitatively.
proposed resolution: Extend DarkHistory (or ExoCLASS) with an injection module for mediators of lab-frame lifetime gamma*tau_V produced by annihilation, tracking redshift-dependent decay and electromagnetic deposition efficiency, and couple it to the Planck annihilation likelihood plus Fermi-LAT/H.E.S.S. flux limits to produce epsilon(m_chi, m_V) exclusions.
Light 2HDM-portal forbidden singlet fermion dark matter (arXiv:2203.05579 · score 23)No CMB energy-injection or indirect-detection likelihood has been evaluated for this model's exponentially threshold- and velocity-suppressed late-time annihilation; the card records likelihood_available: no, so the claim that the fermionic variant evades CMB and gamma-ray limits is not backed by a computable constraint.
proposed resolution: Compute the redshift-dependent <sigma v>(z) including the Boltzmann-suppressed forbidden channel and feed it through an ExoCLASS/DarkHistory-based Planck energy-injection likelihood plus existing sub-GeV gamma-ray limits, exposing the result as a function of (m_chi, mass splitting, couplings).
Light 2HDM-portal forbidden scalar dark matter (arXiv:2203.05579 · score 23)No CMB energy-injection or existing gamma-ray likelihood has been evaluated for this model's Boltzmann-suppressed late-time annihilation and its loop-induced gamma-gamma line; the card records likelihood_available: no for the cosmological constraint, so the forbidden-regime evasion of Planck limits is asserted rather than computed.
proposed resolution: Compute the redshift- and velocity-dependent <sigma v>(z) including the forbidden lepton channel and the radiative gamma-gamma channel, and feed it through an ExoCLASS/DarkHistory-based Planck energy-injection likelihood plus current MeV-band line limits (e.g. INTEGRAL/SPI, COMPTEL) over (m_chi, Delta, couplings).
Light 2HDM-portal forbidden scalar dark matter (arXiv:2203.05579 · score 23)No forecast machinery exists to translate the predicted sub-GeV gamma-ray lines just below charged-lepton masses into detection reach for future MeV missions (AMEGO/e-ASTROGAM), which the card identifies as the key discovery channel of the scalar variant.

Small-lambda-kappa NMSSM neutralino dark matter (arXiv:2204.06082 · score 23)The final selection step uses published LUX/XENON1T/PICO-60 limit curves and a hard Planck relic window instead of proper experimental likelihoods, so no statistically meaningful combined constraint or profile over the small-lambda/kappa NMSSM parameter space can be produced.
proposed resolution: Couple the existing NMSSMTools + micrOMEGAs pipeline to DDCalc (for XENON1T/LUX/PICO-60 Poisson likelihoods) and the Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood tables, replacing the overlay cuts with a joint likelihood as done in GAMBIT-style NMSSM scans.

proposed resolution: Build a GAMBIT-style composite likelihood for the 2HD+a parameter space, combining micrOMEGAs outputs with HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals, flavor and electroweak-precision fits (including the M_W oblique-parameter shift), and published XENON1T and Fermi-LAT likelihood curves.
Bouncing three-scalar dark matter (arXiv:2208.08453 · score 23)No numerical gamma-ray likelihood recast exists for the model's cascade annihilation: the primary benchmark only adapts published H'H' -> WW cascade limits, so Fermi dwarf exclusions and CTA projections cannot be evaluated for general dark-state decay modes and branching ratios.
proposed resolution: Generate channel-specific cascade photon spectra (boosted secondary decays via Pythia or the analytic cascade formalism of arXiv:1503.02641) and interface them with the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood in MadDM, adding CTA Galactic Center projection curves for forecasts.
Gravitational right-handed-neutrino FIMP dark matter (arXiv:2210.05716 · score 23)The optional PeV-neutrino decay observable has no implemented recast: the N1 to high-energy-neutrino decay spectrum for the tiny-Yukawa scenario and a comparison against IceCube diffuse-flux data are not set up in the card's routing.
proposed resolution: Compute the PeV-scale decay spectra with HDMSpectra for the N1 final states, propagate to Earth fluxes with standard halo plus extragalactic decay templates, and recast against the public IceCube HESE/diffuse astrophysical-neutrino likelihood.

proposed resolution: Build a boosted-DM signal-and-response module: compute the halo-integrated semi-annihilation flux, fold it through published Super-Kamiokande/IceCube and large-xenon boosted-DM effective areas, and package the result as a recast likelihood for the line energy and flux normalization.
Multi-component asymmetric cogenesis dark-sector model (arXiv:2301.13238 · score 23)No BBN likelihood is implemented for the late-decaying parent fermion: the card's BBN bound is an analytic 0.1-1 s timing estimate with likelihood_available = no, and no cascade calculation covering hadronic and electromagnetic final states of the mediator has been run for this model.
proposed resolution: Recast the parent lifetime and decay channels through ACROPOLIS for electromagnetic injection, extending it (or interfacing a hadronic-cascade BBN code) for hadronic final states, to replace the timing estimate with light-element abundance likelihoods over (tau, m_parent, branching fractions).
MeV-scale Z3 complex scalar semi-annihilation dark matter (arXiv:2302.06159 · score 23)No public likelihood exists for the archival MeV diffuse gamma-ray data (COMPTEL, EGRET, INTEGRAL, Fermi-LAT low-energy) against which the semi-annihilation continuum is compared; the primary paper reports only cross-section bound curves, so limits on <sigma v>_semi cannot be recomputed with proper background/covariance treatment or extended to new benchmarks and halo models.
proposed resolution: Build a gamLike-style likelihood module for the archival MeV diffuse spectra (energy binning, effective area, and background model per instrument) plus the projected e-ASTROGAM response, taking arbitrary dN_gamma/dE inputs so semi-annihilation spectra with one boosted mediator in the final state can be constrained directly.
Modular A4 muon-specific scalar dark matter model (arXiv:2302.09747 · score 23)The Fermi-LAT Galactic-center GeV-excess constraint is applied only as an approximate 1-2 sigma window on (m_chi, <sigma v>) for the mu+ mu- channel; no proper GeV-excess likelihood with the muon-channel gamma-ray spectrum and halo-profile uncertainty is available in the route.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood from a published Fermi-LAT GCE spectral measurement, folding in the mu+ mu- annihilation spectrum (PPPC4DMID-style tables including final-state radiation) and marginalizing over the generalized-NFW profile parameters, replacing the fixed <sigma v>_FL window.
SESM general-scalar-potential inelastic scalar dark matter (arXiv:2303.14764 · score 23)The flavor and muon g-2 viability selection is scan-level only: no public implementation of the SESM vectorlike quark/lepton loop contributions to R_K, B_s mixing, and Delta a_mu exists, so the anomaly-motivated parameter-space cut cannot be re-evaluated as a likelihood.
proposed resolution: Implement the vectorlike-fermion and Z_2-odd scalar loop contributions in a public flavor package (e.g. flavio or SPheno/FlavourKit via a SARAH model file) and combine with current B-physics and muon g-2 measurements into a joint chi-square usable in the scan.
Z3 scotogenic neutrinophilic Dirac-fermion dark matter (arXiv:2307.15760 · score 23)The BBN/CMB excess-radiation bound on MeV neutrino-coupled thermal relics is only quoted from minimal-model literature (~6 MeV fermion lower bound); the extended model's second right-handed neutrino and cancellation structure require a dedicated N_eff recast that does not exist.
proposed resolution: Extend a neutrino-decoupling code of the NUDEC_BSM type with the model's full dark-sector spectrum (N, S1, S2) to compute Delta N_eff and modified light-element yields across the low-mass region, and wrap Planck/BBN data as a likelihood over (m_DM, m_S1).
SU(2)_D vector dark matter with catalyzed freeze-out (arXiv:2107.13475 · score 22)No implemented indirect-detection recast exists for the secluded cascade signal: the boosted-catalyst-decay gamma-ray spectrum (X X -> Zprime Zprime followed by Zprime -> SM fermions) has not been generated and folded through the Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood or CTA sensitivity for this model's masses and branching fractions.
proposed resolution: Generate catalyst rest-frame decay spectra with Pythia (or PPPC4DMID tables) for the Zprime -> SM fermion channels, boost them to the X X -> Zprime Zprime cascade frame, and evaluate against the published Fermi-LAT six-year dwarf bin-by-bin likelihoods and CTA projected sensitivity with standard J-factors, scanning m_X, r_XZprime, and tau_C.
Mediator-decay freeze-in dark matter during early matter domination (arXiv:2402.18557 · score 22)The collider constraint is only an approximate order-TeV guide line with no representation-specific LHC recast or likelihood for the SM-charged mediator X, and the Fermi-LAT annihilation bound is applied qualitatively with no public likelihood, so the constraint overlay cannot produce statistically meaningful exclusions.
proposed resolution: Implement the candidate mediator gauge representations (color-triplet scalar, U(1) B-L cases) in SModelS/CheckMATE to derive representation-specific m_X limits, and evaluate <sigma_ann v>(m_chi) against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods for the relevant final states.
Oscillating asymmetric dark matter (scalar variant) (arXiv:1109.2164 · score 22)No modern likelihood recast exists for the regenerated-annihilation signal: the card relies on source-era WMAP CMB, BBN, and stacked Fermi dwarf bounds reweighted by hand, whereas the oscillation-modulated anti-DM fraction requires a time-dependent annihilation-rate history in current Planck energy-injection and Fermi dwarf likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Extend an exotic-energy-injection pipeline (DarkHistory or ExoCLASS/CLASS with Planck 2018 likelihoods) to accept the oscillation-modulated annihilation-rate history, and reweight the current Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal combined likelihood by the present-day anti-DM fraction for the b bbar and leptonic final states.

proposed resolution: Reimplement the paper's sliding-energy-window power-law background plus triangle-signal profile likelihood on public Fermi-LAT Galactic-center data, and approximate the H.E.S.S. reach with published effective-area/exposure tables or an existing spectral-feature recast framework, validating against the paper's 95 percent CL benchmark limits.

proposed resolution: Implement the model in FeynRules/MadGraph, use MadDM or micrOMEGAs for direct- and indirect-detection cross sections, and recast LHC colored-partner searches (e.g. squark-like jets plus missing-energy limits) with SModelS or CheckMATE for the compressed-spectrum coannihilation region.
Singlet-doublet fermion dark matter with scalar triplet (arXiv:1902.01217 · score 22)The collider constraint is only a benchmark cut-flow projection: no recast of existing LHC compressed-spectrum, displaced charged-vector-like-lepton, or hadronically quiet multilepton searches, and no ILC likelihood, is implemented for the vector-like fermion and triplet-scalar spectrum, so con_sdf_collider_reach cannot be evaluated as an actual exclusion.

Portalino-inspired neutrino-portal Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:2208.02698 · score 22)Gamma-ray limits on X X -> n n annihilation followed by Portalino cascade decays cannot be evaluated: Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal limits are tabulated only for standard two-body SM channels, and no cascade-spectrum recast against the public dwarf likelihood exists for this model.
proposed resolution: Generate Portalino decay cascade photon spectra with a parton-shower tool (Pythia-based spectra as in PPPC4DMID-style tabulations) for the model's branching fractions, then evaluate them against the released Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods.
Type-II seesaw electroweak-mass axion-like dark matter (arXiv:2210.13233 · score 22)No experimental likelihood exists for the ALP-neutrino matter-effect signature: the card marks likelihood_available 'no' with recasting_needed 'yes', so predicted spectral distortions cannot be statistically compared to oscillation-experiment data.
proposed resolution: Recast public atmospheric/long-baseline oscillation datasets (e.g. Super-K, IceCube, DUNE sensitivity releases) into a likelihood for anomalous flavor-dependent matter potentials, then map that onto the model's lambda_a_nu and local ALP density.
Two-component WIMP model with solar internal conversion (arXiv:2304.04721 · score 22)No neutrino-telescope likelihood or recast exists for multicomponent solar annihilation: published IceCube/Super-K/ANTARES solar-WIMP limits assume a single species in capture-annihilation equilibrium, and cannot be applied to the chi_1/chi_2 fluxes with relic fractions f and conversion-modified equilibration without a dedicated recast including neutrino yields and detector response.
proposed resolution: Combine WimpSim/chi-aro-nu per-channel neutrino yield tables for each component mass with the model's N_1(t), N_2(t) annihilation rates, propagate through nuSQuIDS, and recast the public IceCube and Super-K solar effective areas into a joint likelihood over (m_1, m_2, f, sigma_kp, sigma-v_1122), including the non-equilibrium regime where the steady-state mapping fails.
Jovian captured GeV dark matter toy model (arXiv:2401.13043 · score 22)The Fermi-LAT Jupiter gamma-ray analysis (arXiv:2104.02068) is not packaged as a reusable likelihood, and its long-lived-mediator limits must be recast to this model's Borexino-tuned mediator branching ratios before they constrain the 1-4 GeV scenario.

Three-level neutrino-laser majoron dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/9702125 · score 22)No BBN yield capability accepts the enhanced, nonthermal electron-neutrino spectrum from pre-BBN decays: public BBN codes assume thermal Fermi-Dirac neutrinos, so the helium response to the near-factor-three nu_e density enhancement cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Extend a public BBN network (PRIMAT or AlterBBN) to take an arbitrary tabulated nu_e distribution, recompute the neutron-proton weak conversion rates with the distorted spectrum, and compare predicted helium and deuterium yields with observed light-element abundances.
SO(10)/SU(5) non-universal gaugino neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1107.0941 · score 22)All experimental comparisons in the card are frozen at 2011: WMAP relic band, CDMS-II/XENON100 sigma_SI limits, Super-K/IceCube solar-neutrino bounds, and pre-Higgs-discovery collider constraints; no assembled modern likelihood pipeline (Planck relic density, LZ/XENONnT direct detection, current IceCube SD limits, LHC Run-2 plus m_h=125 GeV) has been applied to the NUGM -1/2:-3/2:1 gaugino-ratio parameter space.
proposed resolution: Rerun the scan with a public chain: SoftSUSY or ISAJET spectra for the fixed gaugino ratio, micrOMEGAs for Omega h^2/sigma_SI/sigma_SD against Planck and DDCalc (LZ, XENONnT) likelihoods, IceCube solar-capture limits via the DDCalc/nulike machinery, and SModelS plus HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals for collider and Higgs-mass viability, as done in GAMBIT-style MSSM global fits.
Oscillating asymmetric dark matter (fermion variant) (arXiv:1109.2164 · score 22)No modern likelihood recast exists for the regenerated-annihilation signal: the card relies on source-era WMAP CMB, BBN, and stacked Fermi dwarf bounds reweighted by hand, whereas the time-dependent anti-DM fraction requires feeding an annihilation-rate history (not a constant <sigma v>) into current Planck energy-injection and Fermi dwarf likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Extend an exotic-energy-injection pipeline (DarkHistory or ExoCLASS/CLASS with Planck 2018 likelihoods) to accept the oscillation-modulated annihilation-rate history, and reweight the current Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal combined likelihood by the present-day anti-DM fraction for the b bbar and leptonic final states.
Non-SUSY SO(10) triplet fermion dark matter (arXiv:1608.03956 · score 22)The indirect-detection constraint near the triplet resonance is only quoted from related work: no implemented likelihood evaluates Sommerfeld-enhanced W+W- annihilation at ~2.7 TeV against Fermi-LAT dwarf, MAGIC, antiproton, and CMB energy-injection data for this model.
proposed resolution: Wire Fermi-LAT public dwarf bin-by-bin likelihoods and the combined Fermi+MAGIC limits to multi-TeV W+W- spectra (with electroweak corrections from PPPC4DMID/HDMSpectra), plus a Planck p_ann CMB check, parameterized by the Sommerfeld-corrected <sigma v>_WW from gap_1.
Double-inflation primordial-black-hole dark matter (arXiv:1711.06129 · score 22)No extended-mass-function constraint likelihood exists for the two-peak PBH spectrum: microlensing (including the wave-optics/finite-source weakening of Subaru/HSC limits the model relies on), femtolensing, Hawking-evaporation gamma rays, CMB accretion, and LIGO merger-rate constraints are only available as monochromatic exclusion curves, which the card says cannot validly be applied point-by-point to a broad mass function.
proposed resolution: Build an extended-mass-function recast package on top of a digitized PBH bound compilation (PBHbounds-style): implement the Carr-type integrated constraint conversion for f_PBH(M), recompute the HSC microlensing event rate with wave-optics and finite-source corrections, and add an accretion-modeling-marginalized CMB likelihood and a PBH-binary merger-rate likelihood for the stellar-mass peak.
Inverse-seesaw NMSSM sneutrino WIMP dark matter (arXiv:1910.14317 · score 22)The paper's composite likelihood scan is not reproducible as released: the exact priors, the joint Planck relic + XENON-1T SI/SD + Fermi-LAT dwarf + LHC Higgs/sparticle likelihood glue, and the ISS-NMSSM SARAH model files were not published, and the direct-detection term is XENON-1T-era rather than current LZ/XENONnT limits.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the pipeline openly: regenerate the ISS-NMSSM in SARAH/SPheno, couple micrOMEGAs to DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT), the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood, and HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals plus SModelS for the collider terms, then rerun the MultiNest scan and validate against the paper's profile-likelihood islands.
Axion-like particle dark matter from N>1 string-wall annihilation (arXiv:2103.07625 · score 22)No ready-to-use likelihood accepts this model's peaked Omega_GW(f) template in the 10^-16 to 10^-14 Hz CMB/astrometry band or the PTA band; existing bounds assume power-law spectra, which the card's caveats flag as inappropriate for the peaked wall-annihilation spectrum.
proposed resolution: Implement the peaked wall-annihilation Omega_GW(f) template as a custom spectrum in a PTA analysis framework (e.g. PTArcade/enterprise on NANOGrav data) and recast the Planck and BICEP/Keck ultra-low-frequency GW and astrometry bounds for monochromatic/peaked spectra, publishing constraint tables in the (V, epsilon_b, N, m_a) plane.
Bouncing multicomponent singlet fermion-pNGB dark matter (arXiv:2401.01368 · score 22)No gamma-ray likelihood is attached to the enhanced present-day annihilation prediction: the route lists the gamma-ray likelihood as unavailable, so the above-thermal <sigma v>_0 values from bouncing freeze-out cannot be tested against dwarf-galaxy or Galactic Center data, including the nonstandard kinematics of semi-annihilation final states.
proposed resolution: Generate photon spectra for the h_i-mediated annihilation and semi-annihilation channels (micrOMEGAs or PPPC4DMID tables, with the boosted single-scalar kinematics for semi-annihilation) and evaluate them against the published Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods with component-density-squared weighting.
High-scale-inflation Q-ball dark matter and baryogenesis scenario (arXiv:1408.1176 · score 21)No Q-ball-specific direct-search likelihood exists: the IceCube/Baksan reach is obtained by reusing subrelativistic magnetic-monopole flux limits with an assumed detection efficiency (eta = 1 or 0.1), while the actual nucleon-dissociation energy-deposition signature of an electrically neutral new-type Q ball in these detectors has never been modeled or turned into a limit.
proposed resolution: Model the KKST nucleon-dissociation light yield of a subrelativistic Q-ball track in IceCube-like and Baksan-like detectors as a function of Q_N and velocity, derive the detection efficiency, and publish a flux likelihood on the (Q_N, F_Q) plane that replaces the monopole-limit proxy in con_qball_icecube_baksan.
QCD-confinement induced scalar dark matter (arXiv:1911.01050 · score 21)No machine-readable exclusion data or likelihood exists for comparing the QCD-scalar (m_phi, M, f) parameter space against fifth-force and astrophysical photon-decay limits; the constraints exist only as undigitized figure-level curves in the source paper.
proposed resolution: Digitize the Fig. 1 dark-matter-preferred and exclusion curves from arXiv:1911.01050, assemble the underlying fifth-force (Eot-Wash-type) and photon-search (X-ray/gamma-ray line) datasets, and implement them as reusable limit curves or likelihoods over (m_phi, M, f) in a light-scalar recast module.
R-parity-violating gravitino decay dark matter (arXiv:0709.4593 · score 21)No reusable gamma-ray likelihood for decaying gravitino dark matter: Fermi-LAT line-search limits exist only as published exclusion curves, and there is no packaged likelihood for the W/Z-fragmentation diffuse continuum in the tau_3/2 - m_3/2 plane.
proposed resolution: Recast published Fermi-LAT line-search and isotropic diffuse gamma-ray results into a lifetime-versus-mass likelihood table using a Milky Way decay J-factor plus the cosmological redshifted contribution, combining line and continuum channels with fragmentation spectra from PYTHIA or PPPC-style tables.
Secluded WIMP with right-handed neutrino mediator (arXiv:0711.4866 · score 21)No indirect-detection likelihood exists for the cascade annihilation signal chi chi -> N_R N_R followed by N_R decays through the small neutrino Yukawa; the model-specific final-state spectra (neutrino/Higgs branching dependent) have not been computed or confronted with gamma-ray or neutrino-telescope data.
proposed resolution: Generate the boosted two-step cascade spectra (chi chi -> N_R N_R -> SM via L H N_R) with PYTHIA showering, then recast Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal and IceCube likelihoods onto the resulting photon and neutrino spectra as a function of m_chi, m_NR, and branching fractions.
Secluded singlet-fermion WIMP with scalar mediator (arXiv:0711.4866 · score 21)No combined lifetime/flavor likelihood exists for the Higgs-mixed metastable scalar phi: the narrow allowed MeV windows (mixing ~1e-7 to 1e-8) are quoted from historical rare-K missing-energy, gamma-ray, and BBN arguments rather than computed against modern data.
proposed resolution: Recast modern light-scalar constraints (NA62 K -> pi + invisible, LHCb/Belle II, and BBN injection via ACROPOLIS) onto the (m_phi, lambda_1) plane using existing dark-scalar recast frameworks such as DarkCast-style mappings for Higgs-mixed scalars, producing a reusable lifetime-mixing likelihood.
Secluded singlet-fermion WIMP with scalar mediator (arXiv:0711.4866 · score 21)No direct-detection or indirect-detection likelihood is implemented for this model: the spin-independent cross section through Higgs mixing and the cascade annihilation spectra chi chi -> phi phi -> SM SM have not been confronted with current detector or gamma-ray data.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from the Higgs-portal mixing and evaluate it against public LZ/XENONnT likelihoods (e.g. via DDCalc), and generate the two-step cascade photon spectra with PYTHIA for a Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood recast as a function of m_chi and m_phi.
Secluded Dirac WIMP with U(1) prime vector mediator (arXiv:0711.4866 · score 21)No indirect-detection likelihood exists for the secluded cascade signal chi chi -> V V with V decaying through kinetic mixing, in either the GeV-scale gamma-ray regime or the MeV/511 keV benchmark; the source's constraints are qualitative quotes rather than a computed likelihood.
proposed resolution: Generate the boosted V -> SM cascade photon and positron spectra (PYTHIA above the GeV scale, analytic leptonic spectra in the MeV regime) and recast Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal, INTEGRAL/SPI 511 keV, and CMB energy-injection likelihoods as functions of m_chi, m_V, and epsilon.
Late scalar-decay Wino/Higgsino LSP dark matter (arXiv:0807.4313 · score 21)No direct- or indirect-detection likelihood recast exists for the nonthermally populated Wino/Higgsino benchmark; con_nonthermal_detection_recast is only figure-level context from related nonthermal CMSSM studies, not a spectrum-specific exclusion for this model.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI and <sigma v> for the Wino/Higgsino spectrum with DarkSUSY or micrOMEGAs and confront them with current LZ limits via DDCalc and Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal and H.E.S.S. Galactic-center likelihoods, rescaling rates by the nonthermal relic fraction.
PAMELA-favored NMSSM neutralino with light pseudoscalar resonance (arXiv:0905.2964 · score 21)No cosmic-ray or gamma-ray likelihood exists for the PAMELA-favored benchmarks: the positron/antiproton comparison and the Fermi-LAT gamma tension are source-era plot-level statements (likelihood_available: no for both constraints), with no modern AMS-02/Fermi recast.
proposed resolution: Recast the a2-resonance annihilation to a1 h1 with mu-rich final states against AMS-02 positron-fraction and Fermi-LAT diffuse/dwarf likelihoods using a public propagation code and published likelihood tables, scanning halo-profile and boost-factor systematics.
Axion-mediated singlet Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1212.5647 · score 21)No coded gamma-ray line likelihood is attached to the model's critical observable: the Fermi 130/135 GeV line target is only a historical cross-section window with likelihood_available marked no and explicit halo-profile dependence.
proposed resolution: Implement a likelihood from current Fermi-LAT Galactic-center line-search results over <sigma v>_gamma gamma (and the Z gamma companion) as a function of m_chi, with an Einasto/NFW J-factor nuisance parameter, replacing the fixed 1.27-2.27e-27 cm^3/s historical target.
Broken U(1) Majorana dark matter with short-lived PGB scenario (arXiv:1312.3578 · score 21)No gamma-ray likelihood exists for the box-shaped spectrum from chi chi -> eta rho with in-flight eta -> gamma gamma decay: the card only records the paper's replacement rule for adapting Fermi-LAT equal-scalar box limits (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes), which does not cover general mass ratios or current data.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's box spectrum dN/dE through the public Fermi-LAT Galactic-center data and instrument response (e.g., via gammapy or the Fermi ScienceTools) for the model's M_chi, m_rho, m_phi grid, releasing a tabulated likelihood in (M_chi, m_phi/M_chi, Br(phi->gamma gamma)).
Hidden-sector self-interacting dark matter with light vector mediator (arXiv:1501.03507 · score 21)No public likelihood exists for the joint Galactic-center gamma-ray excess plus AMS-02/PAMELA positron fit that the model targets (route likelihoods list is empty; ams02_positron_constraint is only approximate), so compatibility claims cannot be quantified.
proposed resolution: Assemble a published GC-excess spectral likelihood with background covariance and an AMS-02 positron-fraction likelihood, evaluated on GALPROP outputs while marginalizing over propagation and pulsar-background parameters.
Gauge-mediated Q-ball dark matter (arXiv:1502.00715 · score 21)No digitized BAKSAN/IceCube (or Baikal/KM3NeT) flux-limit curves or slow-particle-trigger detection likelihood exist for KKST-like Q-balls, so the flux-versus-cross-section exclusion in the (Q, M_F, m_3/2) plane cannot be evaluated numerically.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published BAKSAN and IceCube slow-monopole/Q-ball flux limits (the primary paper's Fig. 3 overlay), encode them as a flux-limit lookup versus sigma_Q, and combine with published slow-particle trigger efficiencies to build a simple Poisson likelihood for large-volume telescopes.
Boosted two-component pseudoscalar-mediated dark matter (arXiv:1503.02669 · score 21)No IceCube likelihood or detector-response recast is implemented for boosted-chi scattering: predicting PeV shower plus lower-energy secondary event spectra and shower/track topology from the chi-nucleon cross section requires an effective-area and deposited-energy model that the card does not provide.
proposed resolution: Build an event-rate calculator from the public IceCube HESE effective areas and data release, folding the boosted-chi flux with the pseudoscalar-mediated chi-nucleon deep-inelastic cross section into deposited-energy and topology distributions, and wrap it as a Poisson likelihood validated against the source m_a = 12 and 80 GeV benchmark spectra.
Boosted two-component pseudoscalar-mediated dark matter (arXiv:1503.02669 · score 21)No packaged Fermi-LAT Galactic Center excess likelihood exists for the light-chi annihilation channel (chi chi -> b bbar via the pseudoscalar), so the 30-40 GeV benchmark fit cannot be reproduced quantitatively with background-model uncertainties.
proposed resolution: Recast a published GC-excess spectrum with full covariance (e.g. the Calore-Cholis-Weniger style spectral covariance) into a likelihood over (m_chi, <sigma v>, f_chi, branching fractions), with the b-bbar spectra generated by PPPC4DMID or Pythia tables.
Majorana fermion dark matter with 750 GeV quark-coupled pseudoscalar portal (arXiv:1605.09018 · score 21)No implemented Fermi-LAT likelihood recast exists for this pseudoscalar-portal Majorana model: the public dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods must be combined with b-bbar/tau continuum spectra and the loop-level gamma-line channel while accounting for the strong velocity dependence of pseudoscalar-mediated annihilation, which the standard velocity-independent dwarf limits do not cover.
proposed resolution: Build a recast pipeline that feeds PPPC4DMID (or Pythia-generated) b-bbar/tau and gamma-gamma spectra into the released Fermi-LAT six-year dwarf bin-by-bin likelihoods, with the annihilation cross section evaluated at dwarf versus Galactic-center velocity dispersions for the s-channel pseudoscalar amplitude, and include the Fermi line-search likelihood for <sigma v>_gamma_gamma.
Vector dark matter with fermionic top-partner co-annihilation model (arXiv:1703.02977 · score 21)No collider recast or likelihood exists for the compressed fermionic top partner with vector dark matter: existing SUSY stop compressed-spectrum limits do not apply because production cross sections and decay kinematics differ for a color-triplet fermion, and the Higgs-portal direct-detection constraint on lambda_VVHH is likewise not implemented as a likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a UFO model for the vector-DM plus fermionic top partner Lagrangian, generate compressed-spectrum signal events with MadGraph+Pythia, recast LHC Run 2 soft-object and monojet searches with CheckMATE or MadAnalysis, and add a DDCalc-based Higgs-portal spin-independent likelihood for lambda_VVHH, combined into one joint likelihood over (m_V, m_T, Delta m).
Fermionic dark matter with pseudoscalar mediator for electroweak baryogenesis (arXiv:1703.06506 · score 21)No reusable Fermi Galactic Center gamma-ray likelihood or per-channel <sigma v> limit tables exist for the mediator-mixing-weighted SM final states, so the indirect-detection route cannot produce quantitative pass/fail results.
proposed resolution: Recast published Fermi LAT Galactic Center and dwarf-spheroidal limits into per-channel <sigma v>(m_d) tables (using the public Fermi dSph likelihood release) and weight them by the MicrOMEGAs branching fractions of each scan point.
Electron-flavored Dirac dark matter, Model II (arXiv:1712.00037 · score 21)No public likelihood exists for the DAMPE TeV e+e- spectral feature, and the combined indirect recast (DAMPE, AMS-02, CMB energy injection, IceCube) needed to bound <sigma v>_ee for this model is not packaged and predates current cosmic-ray data.
proposed resolution: Build a binned DAMPE electron-plus-positron likelihood with the published energy resolution, propagate the e+e- injection with GALPROP or DRAGON, and combine with CMB energy-injection limits via ExoCLASS and Planck to update the allowed <sigma v>_ee versus m_chi region.
Minimal scotogenic model with fermionic dark matter (arXiv:1802.00007 · score 21)No recast pipeline confronts the model's internal-bremsstrahlung gamma-ray signal (N1 N1 -> l l gamma via inert-scalar exchange, with the two-body channel p-wave suppressed) with indirect-detection data; the card lists the constraint with likelihood_available: no and the step was not run.
proposed resolution: Compute the internal-bremsstrahlung spectrum from the micrOMEGAs/MadDM model implementation over the (m_N1, m_eta, y) scan and feed it to the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood (and H.E.S.S. Galactic-center limits for multi-TeV masses).
Minimal scotogenic model with inert scalar dark matter (arXiv:1802.00007 · score 21)No gamma-ray indirect-detection likelihood is available to recast continuum limits (Fermi-LAT dwarf spheroidal style) onto the inert scalar's WW/ZZ/hh annihilation channels; the card marks the gamma-ray recast unavailable and con_inert_scalar_indirect has likelihood_available: no.
proposed resolution: Couple micrOMEGAs-computed <sigma v> and branching fractions to the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal binned likelihoods (e.g. via MadDM's indirect-detection likelihood module or the released Fermi likelihood tables), producing per-channel limits for WW, ZZ, and hh final states over the 50 GeV-20 TeV mass windows.
Z3-stabilized scalar dark matter in neutrinophilic THDM (arXiv:1802.08615 · score 21)No indirect-detection likelihood recast exists for this model's annihilation final states: Fermi-LAT dwarf limits were not rerun for the H3-mediated b-bbar cascade spectra (Scenarios II/IV), and no IceCube neutrino-line likelihood is attached for the neutrinophilic Scenario III final states.
proposed resolution: Compute cascade gamma-ray spectra for X X* -> H3 H3 -> 4b with PPPC4DMID/Pythia boosting and run them through the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihood (e.g. via MadDM), and recast IceCube/ANTARES neutrino-line searches for the Scenario III nu-nubar-dominated states.
Gauged two-Higgs-doublet scalar D dark matter (arXiv:1806.05632 · score 21)Inert-doublet direct-detection, indirect-detection, and LHC search limits used as proxies (LUX/XENON, Fermi/AMS, monojet, disappearing tracks) have no G2HDM recast: the gauge-origin stabilization and extra SU(2)_H states change production and decay topologies, and the card marks both constraints as recast_required with only partial likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Build a recast pipeline: generate G2HDM signal events with MadGraph using the gap_1 model files and pass them through public recast frameworks (MadAnalysis5/CheckMATE for monojet and inert-scalar searches; DDCalc for XENON/LZ; likelihood from Planck Omega h2), producing combined exclusion contours in the (m_D, lambda_L, splitting) space.
Complex singlet scalar dark matter with restored CP and Z2 (arXiv:1807.06987 · score 21)No assembled statistical pipeline applies the XENON1T spin-independent limit and the Fermi-LAT/AMS-02/Planck annihilation constraints to this model with the required f_X (subcomponent) rescaling of local density and annihilation rates.
proposed resolution: Wire micrOMEGAs outputs (Omega_X h^2, sigma_SI, sigma v with branching fractions) into DDCalc for the XENON1T likelihood and the public Fermi-LAT dwarf and Planck f_eff likelihoods, applying f_X scaling for direct detection and f_X^2 scaling for annihilation signals.
Asymptotically safe quintuplet minimal dark matter (arXiv:1905.04227 · score 21)No implemented gamma-ray likelihood recast exists for quintuplet annihilation: the Sommerfeld-enhanced continuum plus line spectra with per-flavor 1/N_F density suppression have not been run through dwarf or Galactic Center likelihoods, so the exclusion is only qualitative.
proposed resolution: Combine electroweak-corrected annihilation spectra (PPPC4DMID/HDMSpectra) with the Sommerfeld-enhanced cross section and feed them through the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood stack (and published Galactic Center line limits), scanning halo-profile and J-factor systematics over (N_F, M_DM).
Asymptotically safe triplet minimal dark matter (arXiv:1905.04227 · score 21)No indirect-detection likelihood pipeline combines the public Fermi-LAT/MAGIC dwarf-galaxy likelihoods with Sommerfeld-enhanced WW/ZZ annihilation spectra and the 1/N_F per-flavor density suppression, so the dwarf gamma-ray constraint (including resonance regions and J-factor uncertainties) is only applied qualitatively.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood wrapper that feeds electroweak-corrected annihilation spectra (from PPPC4DMID-style tables) with velocity-dependent Sommerfeld factors and 1/N_F^2-scaled rates summed over flavors into the published Fermi-LAT dwarf bin-by-bin likelihoods, marginalizing over J-factor uncertainties.
Gauge-singlet Z2-odd scalar dark matter in a lepton-specific U(1)_X two-Higgs-doublet model (arXiv:1907.02718 · score 21)No Fermi-LAT dwarf-galaxy likelihood recast exists for this model's p-wave-dominated annihilation to charged leptons through exotic-lepton exchange; the paper only estimates cross sections, so the indirect-detection constraint cannot be evaluated quantitatively across the scan.
proposed resolution: Compute the present-day velocity-averaged cross section including the p-wave suppression with a dwarf-appropriate velocity distribution, generate the lepton-channel gamma-ray spectra with PPPC4DMID or micrOMEGAs, and evaluate them against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods.
Hidden-sector Dirac fermion self-interacting dark matter with dark photon mediator (arXiv:2106.06494 · score 21)No direct-detection likelihood or recast exists for the sub-GeV hidden fermion with a light dark-photon mediator; XENON1T electron-recoil and PandaX-II light-mediator limits have not been mapped onto (epsilon, m_C, m_D) for this model.
proposed resolution: Recast XENON1T/XENONnT electron-recoil data with DarkELF/QEdark-style form factors and PandaX-II light-mediator nuclear-recoil limits into a likelihood over (m_D, m_C, epsilon), including the freeze-in relic fraction as the local-density normalization.
Lepton-portal real scalar dark matter with vector-like leptons (arXiv:2204.07022 · score 21)Indirect-detection limits cannot be evaluated for the mixed lambda_L/lambda_R case: no photon spectra including virtual internal bremsstrahlung and loop-induced gamma lines have been computed for both chiral couplings, and no Fermi-LAT/H.E.S.S. line or AMS positron likelihood recast exists beyond no-mixing guidance values.
proposed resolution: Compute the 2->2 and 2->3 (mu mu gamma internal bremsstrahlung) and loop gamma-gamma spectra with both couplings (extending MadDM or the Bringmann et al. lepton-portal spectra), then recast the Fermi-LAT line search, H.E.S.S. inner-halo, and AMS-02 positron likelihoods onto the (m_X, m_E1/m_X, lambda_L, lambda_R) space.
U(1)_{A Y + B q} vector-portal dark fermion model (arXiv:2204.08067 · score 21)No likelihood is available for the direct-detection or indirect-detection comparisons (likelihood_available is 'no' for both constraints); the paper's exclusions are digitized curve overlays, preventing a statistically meaningful combined scan of the (m_chi, M_Z', g_x) space.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs output to DDCalc (for XENON/LUX/PandaX spin-independent likelihoods) and to published Fermi dwarf-spheroidal and Planck energy-injection likelihood tables weighted by the model's SM-fermion branching fractions, e.g. within a GAMBIT-style global fit.
Lowest-energy higgson WIMP (arXiv:2210.05380 · score 21)No indirect- or direct-detection likelihood is packaged for the model: the dwarf-spheroidal comparison is a by-eye consistency statement and the Xe limits are quoted reaches, so the g4 likelihood step has nothing to evaluate against.
proposed resolution: Wire the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood (gamLike-style) with model annihilation spectra to WW/ZZ and a DDCalc-style LZ/XENONnT likelihood into the route, consuming sigma_v and sigma_SI from the upstream steps.
SU(2)_L quintet fermion minimal dark matter with Higgs inflation (arXiv:2307.08375 · score 21)The AMS-02 antiproton constraint on the 13.6 TeV quintet is only quoted qualitatively from the literature; no recast pipeline combining Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation spectra, Galactic propagation, and an AMS-02 antiproton likelihood exists for this model.
proposed resolution: Build the recast by feeding Sommerfeld-corrected WW/ZZ annihilation spectra (PPPC4DMID-style tables with electroweak corrections) through DRAGON or GALPROP propagation with marginalized propagation parameters into a published AMS-02 antiproton likelihood.
Scalar-mediated Dirac fermion dark matter with Higgs portal (arXiv:2308.14594 · score 21)The indirect-detection test lacks an assembled pipeline: the pion-rich cascade gamma-ray spectrum from mediator decays (2 m_pi0 < m_phi < M) and its confrontation with Fermi-LAT dwarf/GC likelihoods and CTA projections must be reconstructed by hand, and the low-mediator-mass e+e- channel (AMS-02) is not covered at all.
proposed resolution: Generate boosted cascade spectra for phi decays via Higgs-portal mixing (Pythia/Hazma for the pion channels), convolve with halo J factors, and wire into the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods and ctools/gammapy CTA sensitivity, including the Sommerfeld-enhanced late-time <sigma v>.
Bino-like neutralino CDM with damping cutoff (arXiv:astro-ph/0104173 · score 21)No public likelihood connects the sub-Earth-mass microhalo cutoff mass M_min to observational data (both card constraints have likelihood_available: no, and the route lists no public likelihood), so the predicted cutoff cannot be confronted with data.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood tying M_min to observables sensitive to Earth-mass microhalos, e.g. pulsar-timing-array microhalo transit limits or gamma-ray annihilation boost-factor constraints, calibrated with microhalo survival simulations.
Multispecies hidden gauged SU(3) dark matter benchmark model (arXiv:1911.02981 · score 21)No current-generation likelihood recast exists for the relic-fraction-weighted multi-species signals: the direct-detection comparison uses the 2018 XENON1T one-ton-year rate limit rather than LZ/XENONnT likelihoods with per-species rate summing, and the Fermi-LAT dwarf W+W- limit was applied as a scaled cross-section comparison without rerunning any dwarf likelihood with the squared-fractional-abundance weighting.
proposed resolution: Wire the summed-species recoil rate (sigma_iN weighted by Omega_i/Omega_DM) into a public direct-detection likelihood tool (e.g. DDCalc with current LZ/XENONnT data) and the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods with (Omega_i/Omega_DM)^2-scaled annihilation rates per component.
Hypercharge Impure Split Dirac Supersymmetry Higgsino dark matter (arXiv:1405.3692 · score 20)No assembled indirect-detection likelihood for the near-TeV Higgsino in this framework: the annihilation cross section including Sommerfeld enhancement near mu ~ 1.1 TeV is not computed by the stock micrOMEGAs pipeline, and AMS-02 antiproton and gamma-ray/CTA likelihoods are not attached to the route, so current indirect limits on the co-annihilating pseudo-Dirac spectrum cannot be applied.
proposed resolution: Combine published Sommerfeld-corrected Higgsino annihilation spectra (electroweak-corrected PPPC-style tables) with public AMS-02 antiproton and Fermi/H.E.S.S./CTA gamma-ray likelihoods, marginalizing over halo profile and cosmic-ray propagation, to produce a reusable constraint on (mu, <sigma v>).
Fermionic U(1)_X dark matter with Higgs charge and kinetic mixing (arXiv:2308.12663 · score 20)No collider/electroweak-precision likelihood exists for this model's visible sector: the LEP Z-pole and LHC dilepton bounds on epsilon and q_H are mapped by hand from generic kinetic-mixing literature, while the Higgs U(1)_X charge alters Z-Z' mixing and branching ratios relative to those references.
proposed resolution: Recast LHC dilepton searches with a ZPEED-style Z' likelihood extended to the q_H-modified fermion couplings, and add electroweak-precision (S,T,U / Z-pole) constraints on the Z-Z' mixing angle as an analytic likelihood, validated against the small-q_H bound quoted in the paper.
Neutralino dark matter from heavy gravitino decay (arXiv:hep-ph/0502211 · score 20)Direct- and indirect-detection viability of the Wino/Higgsino-rich nonthermal neutralino is asserted only from historical (CDMS-era, pre-Fermi) benchmarks; no modern combined recast of current direct-detection and indirect-search likelihoods has been applied to the composition-dependent parameter space.
proposed resolution: Compose an existing pipeline (micrOMEGAs or DarkSUSY for sigma_chi-p and <sigma v>, DDCalc for LZ/XENONnT likelihoods, Fermi dwarf-spheroidal and AMS antiproton likelihoods) over the (m_chi, Wino/Higgsino fraction) plane with the nonthermal abundance from gap_1 as input.
Dynamical R-parity breaking SUSYLR unstable gravitino dark matter (arXiv:0808.1904 · score 20)The diffuse gamma-ray constraint on gravitino -> photon + neutrino is EGRET-era only; no modern Fermi-LAT likelihood or recast exists for the GeV-scale endpoint spectrum implied by m_3/2 ~ 2 GeV and |U| ~ 1e-6 to 1e-7.
proposed resolution: Compute the photon spectrum of the two-body photon+neutrino channel (plus W/Z/h modes where open) and recast published Fermi-LAT isotropic diffuse and Galactic-halo decaying-dark-matter lifetime limits onto the (m_3/2, |U|) plane, packaging the result as a reusable lifetime likelihood.
AMSB nonthermal wino dark matter from gravitino decay (arXiv:1004.3297 · score 20)No machine-readable direct- or indirect-detection likelihood is attached to the wino detection route: the paper supplies only reach curves, so the computed sigma_SI and annihilation rates cannot be turned into quantitative exclusions for full-fraction or rescaled wino CDM.
proposed resolution: Wire the DarkSUSY/IsaReD cross-section outputs into DDCalc for current xenon-experiment direct-detection likelihoods, and recast the wino annihilation flux against published Fermi dwarf-spheroidal and H.E.S.S. Galactic-center gamma-ray likelihoods, rescaling both by the local wino fraction.
AMSB nonthermal wino dark matter from scalar-field decay (arXiv:1004.3297 · score 20)Wino direct and indirect detection constraints exist only as non-machine-readable reach curves; no experiment likelihood is available to evaluate sigma_SI and indirect rates for the nonthermal wino scenario.
proposed resolution: Recast the predicted sigma_SI through a public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc with current xenon-experiment likelihoods, and use published wino indirect-detection gamma-ray likelihoods for the full-fraction case.
Inert doublet model new viable region (arXiv:1011.1411 · score 20)No assembled modern astroparticle likelihood for the new M_W-160 GeV IDM window: the 2010 viability region was judged against Xenon100-era direct-detection bounds and pre-2011 gamma-ray data, and the card explicitly flags that updated xenon limits and Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihoods require a fresh recast that has not been wired to the micrOMEGAs-level predictions.
proposed resolution: Run the public micrOMEGAs IDM implementation over the gauge-boson-cancellation region with the measured 125 GeV Higgs mass, and pipe sigma_SI into DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT likelihoods) and the W+W-/ZZ annihilation spectra into the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihood tables.
Spin-3/2 effective dark matter (arXiv:1201.0506 · score 20)The antiproton constraint uses PAMELA-era antiproton/proton data with no likelihood; no operator-specific pipeline exists that generates annihilation spectra and propagates them to an AMS-02 antiproton likelihood with controlled propagation systematics.
proposed resolution: Generate per-operator annihilation spectra with PYTHIA (or PPPC4DMID tables for fermionic final states), propagate with GALPROP/DRAGON, and evaluate against the public AMS-02 antiproton likelihood including correlated systematics.
Degenerate-particle Majorana dark matter with enhanced internal bremsstrahlung (arXiv:1411.4858 · score 20)No public likelihood or recast pipeline exists for confronting the enhanced sharp internal-bremsstrahlung gamma-ray spectrum with CTA/GAMMA-400 sensitivities, nor for the AMS positron and direct-search compatibility checks; both constraints on the card have likelihood_available: no and recasting_needed: yes.
proposed resolution: Build a recast layer that folds the analytic l l gamma spectrum through published CTA and GAMMA-400 instrument-response and sensitivity curves for spectral-feature searches (e.g. within a gamma-ray likelihood framework such as gammapy-based CTA line-search likelihoods), and add digitized AMS-02 positron and direct-detection limits as auxiliary constraint terms.
Long-lived scalar A neutrino-portal dark matter (arXiv:1412.3459 · score 20)No public, reusable IceCube/ANTARES/KM3NeT likelihood (effective areas, energy/angular response, backgrounds) exists to constrain this model's monochromatic neutrino line and halo-correlated anisotropy; the card's IceCube limits are digitized lifetime curves from a thermal line search, not a recastable likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a recast module from published IceCube effective areas and the 2023 neutrino-line search data release, including an angular-power template for the Galactic-halo decay morphology, so that (M_A, tau_A) maps directly to a likelihood over line energy and sky distribution.
Dark left-right scotino dark matter (arXiv:1501.06193 · score 20)No current indirect-detection likelihood is wired for this model: the AMS-02 positron fit and Fermi-LAT/HESS gamma-ray consistency are quoted from the 2015 paper benchmark with an assumed local boost factor of 6400, and no reusable likelihood over (m_chi, c_d, boost) exists.
proposed resolution: Recast with current AMS-02 positron data and Fermi-LAT/HESS limits using published likelihood tabulations (e.g. MadDM's indirect-detection likelihoods or LikeDM) applied to the muon-channel internal-bremsstrahlung spectra, treating the local-overdensity boost as a nuisance parameter.
Two-portal fermionic dark matter model (arXiv:1504.03610 · score 20)No ready-to-run combined likelihood exists for this model over LUX/XENON recoil limits, the LHC invisible-Higgs width, and the Fermi-LAT Galactic-center excess; the paper's allowed regions are overlay-style exclusions with no rerun likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Wire DDCalc (or equivalent) xenon likelihoods, the ATLAS/CMS invisible-Higgs-width bound, and a published Fermi GCE spectral likelihood into a joint scan over (m_chi, m_Zprime, m_hprime, g_prime, alpha), updating from LUX/XENON100 to current xenon exposures.
Thermal wino dark matter with inelastic kinetic decoupling (arXiv:1901.09992 · score 20)No implemented likelihood connects the wino prediction to data: neither an indirect-detection gamma-ray likelihood that propagates the cutoff-dependent subhalo boost factor into Sommerfeld-enhanced annihilation limits, nor a direct-detection likelihood for the loop-induced sigma_SI near the neutrino background, has been reconstructed for this route.
proposed resolution: Recast Fermi-LAT dwarf/Galactic-halo and H.E.S.S./CTA Galactic-center likelihoods for the ~3 TeV Sommerfeld-enhanced wino annihilation spectrum with the boost factor (and its uncertainty) from the calibrated subhalo model, and implement the loop-level sigma_SI in a direct-detection likelihood tool such as DDCalc against current xenon exposures.
Secluded vector dark matter with hidden scalar mediator (arXiv:1905.09582 · score 20)The combined constraint comparison is only qualitative: XENON1T/LZ direct-detection contours and the BBN reheating screen exist as figures in the paper, and no pipeline wires the public Fermi-LAT dSph likelihood and Planck energy-injection bound to the model's cascade spectra for a quantitative scan.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI analytically from (alpha, g_dm, m_X, m_S) and compare against the published XENON1T/LZ limit curves, interface the cascade photon spectra to the public Fermi-LAT dSph bin-by-bin likelihoods and Planck f_eff injection bound, and encode the tau_S < 0.03 s BBN screen, producing pass-fail-with-likelihood flags across the parameter space.
Inelastic U(1) B-L charged scalar dark matter (arXiv:1908.09277 · score 20)No indirect-detection likelihood recast exists for the model's cascade annihilation: applying Fermi-LAT dwarf limits to S S -> Z' Z' with B-L (neutrino-rich) Z-prime branching fractions requires computing the boosted photon spectrum per final state, which the card only encodes qualitatively.
proposed resolution: Use MadDM or PPPC4DMID spectra boosted through the Z' two-body cascade to build the gamma-ray spectrum for B-L branching fractions, then evaluate the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods to produce <sigma v>_0 limits as a function of (m_S, m_Z_prime).
Low-mass weakly coupled B-L gauge boson Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1908.11325 · score 20)CMB energy-injection and AMS-02 antiproton constraints are imported from analyses assuming 100% dark-photon-like branching; no recast exists that uses the actual Z_BL branching fractions to SM fermions (including right-handed neutrinos) and the Sommerfeld-enhanced chi chi -> Z_BL Z_BL annihilation.
proposed resolution: Compute Z_BL partial widths from the B-L charges, derive the cascade annihilation spectra (e.g. with PPPC4DMID-style tables reweighted by BR(Z_BL -> f fbar)), compute f_eff for the Planck annihilation bound and rerun an AMS-02 antiproton limit with the corrected spectra, including the Sommerfeld factor for the light mediator.
Complex vector condensate dark matter with magnetic dipole coupling (arXiv:2004.14354 · score 20)No model-specific likelihood connects the condensate-sourced magnetic field to data: the paper compares only to a quoted 1e-19 G to 1e-9 G window, without applying Planck PMF likelihoods or blazar/gamma-ray intergalactic-field constraints to the model's (B_0, coherence length, formation redshift) parameterization.
proposed resolution: Once the field spectrum is available, map (B_0, coherence length) onto the published Planck PMF constraint machinery and gamma-ray cascade lower bounds, packaging the comparison as a reusable likelihood over (M, lambda, rho_Q, formation time).
Pico-charged particles from dark matter decay (arXiv:2007.14421 · score 20)No likelihood confronts the trapped C anti-C annihilation prediction with INTEGRAL/SPI 511 keV line intensity and morphology data or with Voyager/in-flight-annihilation positron bounds; the paper's m_C < 12 MeV guidance is only a summary statement.
proposed resolution: Combine the annihilation morphology from the gap_1 transport model with the INTEGRAL/SPI 511 keV sky-map likelihood and published positron injection-energy constraints into a recast module over (m_C, q_C, f), recovering the m_C < 12 MeV positron-safety condition.
Spiked extended primordial black-hole mass-function dark matter (arXiv:2207.13689 · score 20)No end-to-end evaporation constraint pipeline exists for the low-mass tail of the spiked distribution: the paper computes no evaporation spectrum, and gamma-ray/BBN/relic bounds are only available as monochromatic compilation curves rather than a likelihood over the extended f_PBH(M).
proposed resolution: Generate Hawking spectra for the low-mass component with BlackHawk, integrate over the spiked mass function, and compare against extragalactic/Galactic gamma-ray background data (and relic-abundance bookkeeping for Planck-mass relics), wrapping the result as a reusable evaporation recast over arbitrary mass functions.
Superheavy lepton dark matter decaying through virtual black holes (arXiv:2305.03313 · score 20)No UHECR spectrum/composition likelihood or IceCube/Baikal neutrino likelihood is available for this decaying superheavy-lepton model; the card gives only qualitative lifetime windows (tau_L/t_U ~ 1e3-1e4) with no numeric exclusion contour.
proposed resolution: Propagate the HDMSpectra injection through CRPropa (galactic plus extragalactic components with an NFW halo profile) and recast published Auger/TA UHECR flux limits and IceCube EHE diffuse-neutrino limits on decaying dark matter into a (M_L, tau_L) exclusion, following existing superheavy decaying-DM constraint analyses.
Z_2 complex scalar singlet asymmetric dark matter from CP-violating scatterings (arXiv:2306.13607 · score 20)No indirect-detection likelihood recast exists for the residual annihilation phi anti-phi to eta eta with visible eta decays: the eta branching fractions from Higgs mixing, the box/continuum photon spectra, and the asymmetry-weighted flux normalization (proportional to surviving particle times antiparticle densities via r_infty) have not been folded into Fermi-LAT or CTA analyses.
proposed resolution: Derive eta branching fractions from the Higgs-mixing angle, generate the boxed and cascade photon spectra for eta pair final states, weight the flux by the asymmetric densities, and evaluate against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods and CTA galactic-center sensitivity curves.
Inert-doublet scalar dark matter assisted by a Y=1 vector-like triplet lepton (arXiv:2310.08883 · score 20)No model-specific direct/indirect-detection likelihood pipeline exists; the source only compares benchmarks to published PandaX-4T/LZ and Fermi-LAT/H.E.S.S. limit curves rather than rerunning current likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI and annihilation-cross-section outputs to DDCalc (LZ/PandaX-4T) and published Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihoods to obtain a proper joint constraint on the benchmark scan.
GMSB messenger-sector scalar dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0412048 · score 20)The HESS Galactic-center interpretation has never been tested against a modern likelihood: no pipeline combines electroweak-corrected 20-30 TeV annihilation spectra with current HESS/Fermi (and projected CTA) Galactic-center data and astrophysical background models.
proposed resolution: Generate NN and H_u H_d channel spectra with HDMSpectra or PPPC4DMID-class tables including electroweak corrections, convolve with NFW/Einasto J-factors, and recast against published HESS inner-halo likelihoods with a diffuse astrophysical background component to test whether the 20-30 TeV window survives.
Fourth-generation Majorana neutrino dark matter with residual U(1)_F parity (arXiv:1212.2749 · score 20)The direct-detection exclusion (55 GeV < m_1 < 175 GeV from XENON100 after r_Omega rescaling) rests on a 2011-era dataset with no likelihood; no recast against modern xenon exposures (which probe orders of magnitude deeper for a Z/Higgs-coupled Majorana fermion) exists, so the currently viable mass window above the top mass is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Recast the model through current xenon direct-detection likelihoods (e.g. LZ/XENONnT results via public recasting frameworks), applying the r_Omega relic-fraction rescaling from the freeze-out calculation, to produce an updated exclusion in the (m_1, theta) plane including both spin-independent and spin-dependent channels.
Leptophilic fermion WIMP with scalar mediator (arXiv:1711.11376 · score 20)The constraint stage relies on paper-level approximate recasts: no packaged likelihoods exist for the LEP four-fermion bounds on leptophilic mediators, the loop-induced direct-detection limits, or the DAMPE electron/positron peak fit with its assumed 17-35x nearby-subhalo boost, so exclusions cannot be reproduced or updated within the registry.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast package: digitize LEP four-fermion contact-interaction bounds for scalar/pseudoscalar lepton couplings, implement loop-induced nucleon and electron scattering limits via DDCalc-style wrappers of PandaX/XENON/LZ results, and build a DAMPE spectral likelihood (electron injection plus local propagation with GALPROP/DRAGON and an explicit subhalo-boost nuisance parameter), validated against the paper's allowed/excluded operator table.
Leptophilic fermion WIMP with vector mediator (arXiv:1711.11376 · score 20)The constraint stage relies on paper-level approximate recasts: no packaged likelihoods exist for the LEP four-fermion bounds on the leptophilic Z prime, the tree-level and loop-induced direct-detection limits on vector couplings, or the DAMPE electron/positron peak fit with its assumed 17-35x nearby-subhalo boost, so exclusions cannot be reproduced or updated within the registry.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast package: digitize LEP four-fermion contact-interaction bounds for vector/axial-vector lepton couplings, implement spin-independent and helicity-suppressed scattering limits via DDCalc-style wrappers of PandaX/XENON/LZ results, and build a DAMPE spectral likelihood (electron injection plus local propagation with GALPROP/DRAGON and an explicit subhalo-boost nuisance parameter), validated against the paper's allowed/excluded operator table.
Leptophilic scalar WIMP with scalar mediator (arXiv:1711.11376 · score 20)No reusable likelihood or recast code exists for the combined constraint set on leptophilic spin-0 mediators: LEP four-fermion contact-interaction limits, loop-induced direct-detection bounds (PandaX/XENON-family), and lepton g-2; the paper applies these only as one-off analytic recasts.
proposed resolution: Encode the LEP e+e- -> l+l- contact-interaction likelihood and the loop-level DM-nucleon cross-section mapping in a public recast package (e.g. a GAMBIT/DDCalc module or a standalone likelihood layer over micrOMEGAs output), updated to current LZ/XENONnT limits.
Leptophilic scalar WIMP with scalar mediator (arXiv:1711.11376 · score 20)The DAMPE electron/positron peak interpretation has no quantitative likelihood: the required 17-35 local density boost from a nearby subhalo is an assumed number with no probabilistic model from subhalo statistics, and the spectral fit itself is not distributed as a likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a DAMPE e+e- spectral likelihood (peak plus background) coupled to a nearby-subhalo boost prior derived from CDM subhalo catalogs (e.g. from published N-body subhalo mass/spatial distributions), so the boost assumption becomes a marginalizable nuisance parameter.
Leptophilic scalar WIMP with vector mediator (arXiv:1711.11376 · score 20)No reusable likelihood or recast code exists for the combined leptophilic Z-prime constraint set: LEP four-fermion contact-interaction limits, loop-induced nucleon and electron scattering bounds, and g-2; the paper applies these as one-off recasts only.
proposed resolution: Encode the LEP contact-interaction likelihood and the loop-level DM-nucleon/electron scattering mapping for leptophilic vector mediators in a public recast layer over micrOMEGAs output (e.g. a GAMBIT/DDCalc-style module), updated to current LZ/XENONnT limits.
Leptophilic scalar WIMP with vector mediator (arXiv:1711.11376 · score 20)The DAMPE electron/positron peak interpretation has no quantitative likelihood: the assumed 17-35 nearby-subhalo density boost has no probabilistic model from subhalo statistics, and the spectral fit is not distributed as a likelihood, which matters doubly here because the p-wave-suppressed <sigma v>_0 must be compared quantitatively to the required rate.
proposed resolution: Build a DAMPE e+e- spectral likelihood coupled to a nearby-subhalo boost prior derived from published CDM subhalo catalogs, so velocity-suppressed models can be quantitatively excluded rather than dismissed by rough rate arguments.
Resonance-scanning Higgs-portal light fermion dark matter (arXiv:2012.15284 · score 20)Existing Higgs-portal likelihood compilations (GAMBIT-style direct-detection, XENON1T, and invisible-Higgs likelihoods) are built for standard fixed-mass Higgs-portal models and have not been recast for a sub-GeV scanned fermion with a decoupled late-time coupling, so obs_subgev_higgs_portal_scattering has only qualitative target status.
proposed resolution: Recast the GAMBIT Higgs-portal and invisible-Higgs-width likelihoods at the model's late-time (lambda_h, m_DM) point and add projected sub-GeV low-threshold detector sensitivities (phonon/ionization concepts cited by the card) as forecast likelihood curves for the scanned benchmark region.
Z3 scalar dark matter with semi-production freeze-in (arXiv:2104.05684 · score 20)Indirect-detection constraints are only an illustrative recast of shifted b-bbar limits: no pipeline generates the point-dependent photon spectra of the (semi-)annihilation final states through the Higgs-mixed light mediator and evaluates them against the Planck CMB energy-injection, Fermi-LAT/MAGIC dwarf, and CTA likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Generate per-point photon spectra for mediator-cascade final states with Pythia/PPPC4DMID (via MadDM or a custom interface), compute f_eff for the Planck energy-injection bound, and evaluate the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood and CTA projection instead of the shifted b-bbar curve.
Split-Supersymmetry neutralino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0412058 · score 20)No modern likelihood pipeline is connected to this card: the relic, direct-detection, and indirect-detection constraints are WMAP/CDMS-era targets flagged recasting_needed, so current Planck, XENON/LZ-class, and Fermi-LAT data cannot be applied to the (M_1, M_2, mu) parameter space as encoded.
proposed resolution: Implement the split-SUSY electroweakino sector in an existing global-fit framework (e.g., GAMBIT with micrOMEGAs/DarkSUSY backends) and evaluate it against Planck Omega h^2, DDCalc direct-detection likelihoods, and Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods, replacing the historical constraint rows.
Asymmetric right-handed sneutrino dark matter in a supersymmetric neutrinophilic Higgs model (arXiv:1406.0228 · score 19)No calculation-to-likelihood pipeline exists for the suppressed indirect signatures: secondary gamma rays and neutrinos produced by cosmic rays scattering on the asymmetric (annihilation-free) sneutrino halo have neither a flux calculator nor a comparison against Fermi/IceCube data.
proposed resolution: Derive the cosmic-ray-on-DM upscattering flux for the Yukawa-portal couplings (following the related Dirac-sneutrino treatment), fold it with Galactic cosmic-ray and DM density models, and recast against public Fermi-LAT diffuse gamma-ray and IceCube neutrino likelihoods.
Large-volume light modulus dark matter (arXiv:0705.3460 · score 19)No modern MeV gamma-ray likelihood (COMPTEL, INTEGRAL/SPI, including the 511 keV positron channel) is packaged for decaying-dark-matter recasting of this model; the card's constraint is only the paper's analytic comparison to a COMPTEL diffuse-background fit, with likelihood_available: partial.
proposed resolution: Build a reusable decaying-DM likelihood over COMPTEL diffuse and INTEGRAL/SPI line data (photon line at m_phi/2 plus 511 keV injection), parameterized by (m_phi, tau, Omega_phi/Omega_DM) with standard Milky Way halo decay D-factors, and validate against the paper's COMPTEL density-fraction bound.
Nonthermal neutralino dark matter in mirage mediation (arXiv:0709.3918 · score 19)All constraints on the card are 2007-era (WMAP-3 abundance band, XENON10, pre-Fermi indirect prospects, old Higgs/flavor limits) with likelihood_available marked no; no modernized likelihood recast of the mirage-mediation nonthermal region against Planck, LZ/XENONnT/PandaX, LHC, and Fermi/AMS data exists.
proposed resolution: Rerun the (M_0, alpha, tan_beta) scan with SoftSUSY plus micrOMEGAs/DarkSUSY, applying a Planck relic-density Gaussian, DDCalc likelihoods for current xenon experiments, Fermi dwarf-spheroidal and AMS-02 positron limits for the enhanced <sigma v>, and current Higgs-mass/flavor constraints.
Mixed bino-Higgsino neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1012.1613 · score 19)No assembled multi-channel likelihood exists for the bino-Higgsino parameter space: the card's direct-detection, IceCube/DeepCore solar-capture, and LHC dilepton-edge constraints are all logged with unknown likelihood availability and paper-era (CDMSII/XENON100) data, so WMAP/Planck-compatible mixing regions cannot be scored against modern data.
proposed resolution: Assemble the existing public components into a joint likelihood for (M_1, M_2, mu, tan beta, m_A): DDCalc with LZ/XENONnT SI and SD likelihoods, DarkSUSY solar capture fed into the nulike IceCube likelihood, and an LHC electroweakino dilepton recast via CheckMATE or SModelS, bracketing the hadronic matrix element f_s as the paper prescribes (a GAMBIT-style scan provides all pieces).
Hylogenesis antibaryonic dark matter with induced nucleon decay (arXiv:1106.4320 · score 19)No ready-to-use likelihood or efficiency table exists for induced nucleon decay in water Cherenkov detectors: standard Super-K nucleon-decay selections assume back-to-back two-body kinematics, while IND mesons carry harder momenta of order the GeV-scale mass splitting, so existing lifetime limits cannot be applied without a dedicated topology recast.
proposed resolution: Simulate IND meson final states (e.g. p psi -> phi* K+ type topologies) in a public water-Cherenkov detector simulation, derive selection efficiencies versus meson momentum, and publish a recast efficiency table or likelihood that maps tau_N_IND in the 1e29-1e32 yr range onto Super-K (and Hyper-K) exposure.
Supersymmetric flavour-vacuum dark matter (arXiv:1112.3461 · score 19)No background-cosmology likelihood pipeline exists for the model: the (m1, m2, theta, K, a0) parameter space has never been confronted with CMB distance priors, BAO, or SNe data, and the card records likelihood_available: no on both constraints.
proposed resolution: Implement the fermionic dust and bosonic dark-energy sectors as effective fluids (rho(a), w_eff(a)) in CLASS, and sample (m1, m2, theta, K, a0) against Planck compressed likelihoods, BAO, and Pantheon+ with Cobaya or MontePython.
Ekpyrotic-reheating inflaton-remnant dark matter (arXiv:1203.5284 · score 19)No likelihood of any kind is attached to the model (route lists 'No public likelihood identified'; both constraints have likelihood_available: no): the survival condition is an analytic threshold only, and the card explicitly notes the absence of BBN and CMB energy-injection likelihoods for a TeV remnant whose decay rate can sit just below the 10^-26 s^-1 survival threshold.
proposed resolution: Map the model onto existing decaying-dark-matter constraint machinery: feed Gamma_phi and the Yukawa-determined fermionic decay/annihilation spectra into ExoCLASS/DarkAges-style CMB energy-injection likelihoods and published Planck decaying-DM lifetime bounds, and compare Omega_DM h^2 against the Planck measurement instead of the WMAP-era 0.1126 +/- 0.0036 target.
Natural SUSY higgsino-axion dark matter (arXiv:1203.5539 · score 19)No modern experimental likelihoods are bundled for this model: XENON-era direct-detection curves, Fermi dwarf gamma-ray limits, and an LHC compressed-electroweakino recast all need to be assembled and applied with the neutralino-fraction rescaling (linear for direct rates, quadratic for indirect).
proposed resolution: Wire DDCalc (XENONnT/LZ) with Omega_chi rescaling, the public Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihood with (Omega_chi/Omega_DM)^2 flux scaling, and SModelS/CheckMATE soft-lepton compressed-higgsino analyses into the route as reusable likelihood modules.
Hidden U(1)_x asymmetric Y dark matter (arXiv:1409.1222 · score 19)No CMB energy-injection or gamma-ray likelihood is implemented for the residual symmetric-component annihilation; the card only quotes a WMAP7-style bound and marks likelihood_available no with recasting_needed yes.
proposed resolution: Compute f_eff from the cascade spectra and evaluate the Planck exotic-energy-injection constraint with ExoCLASS/CLASS plus the Planck likelihood, and recast Fermi continuum limits scaled by the residual symmetric fraction r_infty.
Vector fermion-portal dark matter (arXiv:1409.3227 · score 19)No modern collider recast exists for the heavy vector-like fermion partners with dark-sector decay topologies; only source-era (2014) bounds are recorded, leaving the mediator mass constraint outdated.
proposed resolution: Using the UFO model from gap_1, recast Run-2 LHC searches for third-generation partners plus missing energy with CheckMATE or MadAnalysis5, and update Higgs-invisible and oblique-parameter constraints with current fits.
Multicomponent OHe and UU dark atoms (arXiv:1411.3657 · score 19)No cosmic-ray likelihood pipeline exists for the subdominant UU++ decay fit: the AMS-02 positron and Fermi diffuse-gamma comparison (f_UU ~ 1e-6, m_UU ~ 1 TeV, tau_UU ~ 1e20 s) was never rerun and likelihood_available is no.
proposed resolution: Build the same-sign dilepton injection spectra from HDMSpectra/PPPC tables, propagate with DRAGON or GALPROP, and wrap AMS-02 positron-flux and Fermi diffuse-gamma data in a likelihood over (f_UU, m_UU, tau_UU, branching fractions).
Light dark photon force dark matter (arXiv:1412.1485 · score 19)No public likelihood is available for confronting the cascade spectra with the Fermi Galactic Center excess, AMS-02 positrons, and dwarf-galaxy limits; the card's indirect constraint has likelihood_available: partial with recasting_needed: yes and states no current likelihoods were rerun.
proposed resolution: Assemble a multimessenger likelihood suite: a Galactic Center excess spectrum likelihood with halo-profile (J-factor) nuisance parameters, the public Fermi dwarf-galaxy bin-by-bin likelihoods, an AMS-02 positron likelihood with propagation nuisances, and a Planck energy-injection term computed from the gap_1 spectra via an ExoCLASS/DarkHistory-type deposition calculation.
Light dark scalar force dark matter (arXiv:1412.1485 · score 19)No public likelihood pipeline exists to confront the scalar-cascade spectra with the Fermi Galactic Center excess, AMS-02 positrons, dwarf-galaxy limits, CMB energy injection, and the BBN mediator-lifetime bound; all three card constraints require recasting and none were rerun.
proposed resolution: Assemble a likelihood suite combining a Galactic Center excess spectral likelihood with J-factor nuisances, public Fermi dwarf bin-by-bin likelihoods, an AMS-02 positron likelihood, a Planck energy-injection term computed from the gap_1 spectra with an ExoCLASS/DarkHistory-type deposition code, and a tau_phi < 1 s BBN cut evaluated from the gap_1 width module.
Accidental complex scalar Z3 dark matter in scale-invariant local B-L (arXiv:1502.00508 · score 19)No Galactic-center gamma-ray likelihood is wired for the semi-annihilation signal into a 44.3 GeV pseudo-Goldstone decaying to b quarks, so the gamma-ray-excess fit at the 51 GeV benchmark cannot be evaluated numerically.
proposed resolution: Compute the photon spectrum from the boosted pseudo-Goldstone-to-bb cascade with PPPC4DMID/micrOMEGAs and fit it against a published Galactic-center excess spectrum with covariance matrix (Calore-et-al.-style likelihood) with the J-factor as a nuisance parameter.
Classically scale-invariant pseudoscalar WIMPzilla dark matter (arXiv:1512.05890 · score 19)No likelihood exists for ultraheavy (order-PeV and above) dark-matter searches applicable to a stable CP-odd relic with Higgs-portal couplings; the card records likelihood_available: no and recasting_needed: yes for the search recast.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recasting likelihood from published ultraheavy-DM direct-search and indirect (gamma-ray/neutrino decay) limits as tabulated exclusion surfaces in (M_eta, sigma_nucleon, tau_eta), so both the stable benchmark and CP-violating deformations can be scored.
Charged Q-ball dark matter from B and L direction (arXiv:1604.04352 · score 19)No recast or likelihood exists for charged Q-ball absorption signatures (KKST pion-emission plus electromagnetic signatures) in Super-Kamiokande or IceCube; the card explicitly notes this recast was not performed.
proposed resolution: Build a flux-based likelihood from published Super-Kamiokande and IceCube monopole/Q-ball slow-particle search results, mapping the Q-ball radius-dependent absorption cross section and pion/photon emission signature onto the reported effective areas and background rates.
Real scalar dark matter with 750 GeV gluon portal mediator (arXiv:1605.09018 · score 19)No implemented indirect-detection likelihood exists for this model: the gg-final-state gamma-ray spectrum must be mapped onto the Fermi-LAT six-year dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods (and the GCE spectral fit), since published dwarf limits are quoted for b-bbar/tau benchmarks and only a conservative rescaling to gluons is sketched in the card.
proposed resolution: Generate gg annihilation spectra with PPPC4DMID or Pythia showering, insert them into the released Fermi-LAT dwarf combined bin-by-bin likelihood with a standard J-factor treatment, and fit the GCE spectrum at the ~60 GeV scalar mass to replace the conservative rescaling.
Real scalar dark matter with 750 GeV quark-coupled portal mediator (arXiv:1605.09018 · score 19)No implemented dwarf-spheroidal likelihood recast exists for this model's b bbar (and tau) annihilation channel, including the velocity-dependence caveat for pseudoscalar-type mediation, so the GCE-favored region cannot be quantitatively confronted with the Fermi-LAT six-year dwarf limits.
proposed resolution: Feed the model's annihilation spectrum (from PPPC4DMID tables or Pythia showering of b bbar/tau final states) into the public Fermi-LAT dwarf bin-by-bin likelihoods (e.g. via MadDM's indirect-detection module), with an explicit velocity-averaged cross section for the scalar-vs-pseudoscalar mediator cases.
U(1) B-L freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1607.01469 · score 19)No likelihood exists for the radiative decay line of an MeV-mass sterile neutrino: standard keV X-ray line analyses do not cover the ~0.6-5 MeV photon energies implied by M_N1 = 1.2-10 MeV, and the card records photon-line likelihood unavailable.
proposed resolution: Build a decaying-DM line likelihood from COMPTEL/INTEGRAL-SPI and EGRET/Fermi diffuse-photon data covering 0.1-10 MeV, parameterized in (M_N1, theta) via the standard N1 -> nu gamma rate, and package it as a reusable module.
Minimal SUSY SO(10) benchmark with bino-like neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1611.08341 · score 19)No assembled modern direct/indirect-detection likelihood recast exists for this benchmark: the card compares only to superseded LUX numbers and quotes IceCube spin-dependent limits without running the released likelihood, so current xenon (LZ/XENONnT-era) and solar-capture constraints are not evaluated.
proposed resolution: Run the reconstructed benchmark through micrOMEGAs with DDCalc for current xenon likelihoods and through the public IceCube 79-string solar-WIMP likelihood (nulike), using the benchmark annihilation branching fractions for the capture-annihilation mapping.
Flaxion axion dark matter (arXiv:1612.05492 · score 19)No likelihood exists for the flavor-dependent flaxion constraints: the mu -> e a rare-decay bound, stellar-cooling limits, and SN1987A energy-loss bound must each be mapped through the model's U(1)_F charge-dependent lepton and nucleon couplings (C_l/f_a, C_N/f_a), and the card bundles neither the charge-to-coupling mapper listed in required_code_resources nor any likelihood implementation.
proposed resolution: Implement the flavor-charge coupling mapper (charges plus v_phi/M in, C_l, C_N, and off-diagonal flaxion-fermion couplings out) and attach approximate likelihoods from the published TWIST/rare-decay Br(mu -> e a) < 1.1e-9 limit, red-giant/white-dwarf cooling bounds, and SN1987A cooling bounds, so f_a lower limits can be scanned over charge textures alongside the misalignment abundance.
High-scale SUSY light neutral higgsino dark matter (arXiv:1701.06947 · score 19)No indirect-detection likelihood is implemented for higgsino annihilation into electroweak final states: the route cannot turn the post-gravitino-decay annihilation cross section plus a halo model into a quantitative gamma-ray reach or exclusion.

proposed resolution: Compute boosted cascade gamma-ray spectra from mediator rest-frame decay spectra, interface them with a public Fermi-LAT galactic-center likelihood, and include the Sommerfeld enhancement at v ~ 1e-3; optionally add a modern SIDM halo likelihood in place of the flat sigma/m < 1 cm^2/g cut.

Top-philic vector-like portal scalar dark matter (arXiv:1804.05068 · score 19)No direct-detection, gamma-ray spectral-feature, or LHC recast likelihood is assembled for this model (all three constraints have likelihood_available 'partial' and were not rerun), so the multichannel complementarity conclusions (m_S reach near 700 GeV, mediator reach near 6 TeV) cannot be re-evaluated or updated.
proposed resolution: Assemble a combined likelihood: DDCalc for XENON1T/LZ spin-independent limits on the loop-induced sigma_SI, the public Fermi-LAT dwarf and spectral-feature likelihoods applied to the t tbar plus internal-bremsstrahlung spectra, and a MadGraph+Delphes recast of Run-2 stop/top-partner searches (via CheckMATE or MadAnalysis PADs) including compressed-spectrum signal regions.
Neutron dark decay Dirac fermion model (arXiv:1806.10107 · score 19)The UCNA electron-positron limit is applied only as a quoted branching bound in the 100-644 keV kinetic-energy window; no digitized limit versus T_e+e- or spectrum-folding recast exists to test general (m_chi, h_V, h_A) points, and the card flags that the constraint needs current experimental updates.
proposed resolution: Digitize the UCNA (and PERKEO) e- e+ exclusion versus pair kinetic energy, fold the model's predicted pair spectrum for each m_chi through the window and detection efficiency, and package the result as a branching-ratio likelihood.
Charged leptophilic dark electron model (arXiv:1812.02182 · score 19)No cosmic-ray propagation pipeline or DAMPE electron/positron likelihood is available for the leptophilic annihilation channels, so the 1.4 TeV CRE spectral feature cannot be quantitatively confronted with data; the route lists 'No CRE propagation likelihood bundled' and s1 notes propagation is not modeled.
proposed resolution: Implement the model's charged-lepton annihilation spectra (per flavor choice of g_i) in a public propagation code such as GALPROP or DRAGON, and build a binned DAMPE CRE likelihood including local dark-matter density and diffusion-parameter systematics.
Secluded U(1)' singlino-like neutralino dark matter (arXiv:2111.11930 · score 19)The constraint step applies scan-level cuts rather than versioned experimental likelihoods: none of the Planck relic, XENONnT/DARWIN direct-detection, Fermi-LAT dwarf, or Higgs-invisible constraints is attached as a reusable likelihood (all record likelihood_available: unknown), and the Fermi-LAT limit in particular needs model-specific annihilation spectra and J-factor machinery before it becomes an exclusion.
proposed resolution: Assemble a likelihood pipeline for the scan: DDCalc (or equivalent) for current and projected xenon-target limits on sigma_SI, the public Fermi-LAT six-year dwarf-spheroidal likelihood evaluated with final-state-specific gamma-ray spectra for the model's Higgs and A-funnel channels, a Gaussian Planck 2018 relic-density likelihood, and HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals or Lilith for the invisible branching ratio, all versioned per scan point.
Z3 leptophilic complex scalar dark matter with vector-like lepton mediator (arXiv:2203.09282 · score 19)No dedicated indirect-detection likelihood exists for the model's distinctive box-shaped positron spectrum from SS -> e+ e- S* semi-annihilation or for the radiative SS* -> e+ e- gamma spectral features; the paper recasts AMS-02 e+e- annihilation bounds as a proxy and uses CTA projections, not a public likelihood.
proposed resolution: Generate box and internal-bremsstrahlung spectra for the semi-annihilation topology (micrOMEGAs or MadDM), propagate positrons with GALPROP/DRAGON, and build an AMS-02 positron likelihood plus a Fermi-LAT/CTA spectral-feature likelihood parameterized in (m_S, m_VLL, lambda_3, g).
Leptoquark-portal SU(2)L-singlet vector-like fermion dark matter (arXiv:2206.06768 · score 19)No public gamma-ray likelihood pipeline is connected to this model: evaluating HESS constraints and CTA reach requires recasting multi-TeV annihilation spectra through Galactic-center and dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods, which the card marks as not rerun (likelihood_available partial, tool_or_code null at step s3).
proposed resolution: Generate annihilation spectra for the model's final states (e.g. with PPPC4DMID/HDMSpectra at multi-TeV masses via micrOMEGAs), then evaluate them against public HESS Galactic-center likelihoods and CTA sensitivity projections using an indirect-detection likelihood package such as gamLike or the MadDM indirect module.
Anomalous U(1) L_e+L_mu+L_tau axi-Higgs portal fermionic dark matter (arXiv:2405.04680 · score 19)No gamma-ray likelihood is wired to the model: the Fermi LAT, CTA, and H.E.S.S. safety claim is taken from the source paper and cannot be re-evaluated for the model's specific mix of W W, Z Z, gamma gamma, Z gamma, and leptonic channels, including its line features.
proposed resolution: Generate per-channel photon spectra with PPPC4DMID (continuum) plus the gamma gamma / Z gamma line components from the micrOMEGAs branching fractions, and evaluate them against the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods (via gamLike or MadDM's indirect-detection module) and published H.E.S.S./CTA Galactic-center sensitivity curves over m_DM = 70-460 GeV.
Anomalous U(1) L_mu-L_tau axi-Higgs portal fermionic dark matter (arXiv:2405.04680 · score 19)No gamma-ray likelihood recast exists for this model: the claimed safety from Fermi LAT, CTA, and H.E.S.S. is quoted from the primary paper without rerunning any likelihood, and no pipeline maps the model's WW/ZZ/Zgamma annihilation branching fractions (including the Zgamma line) to instrument-level limits.
proposed resolution: Generate photon spectra per channel with micrOMEGAs/PPPC4DMID tables, then evaluate the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal binned likelihoods and H.E.S.S./CTA Galactic-center line and continuum limits over the benchmark grid, treating the Zgamma line channel separately.

proposed resolution: Assemble a recast pipeline using DDCalc for LZ/XENONnT, SModelS or CheckMATE for current LHC SUSY searches on the light-gluino spectrum, Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihoods for the gamma-gamma rate, and compare the predicted tau_p = 4.6e34 yr against current Super-Kamiokande limits.
Hidden-condensate matter-parity-violating gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1009.5865 · score 18)No reusable combined likelihood exists for the three constraints that define the allowed Lambda window: the catalytic-BBN NLSP lifetime bound, the Fermi-LAT gamma-line bound on the gravitino lifetime, and the hidden pseudo-NG overclosure check; the card only records paper-era approximate bounds needing recasting.
proposed resolution: Build a recast module that combines an updated late-decay BBN injection code (AlterBBN or ACROPOLIS with catalytic Li-6 for charged NLSPs) with current Fermi-LAT gamma-ray line likelihoods, taking (tau_NLSP, tau_3/2, Omega_PNG h^2) as inputs and returning a joint likelihood over (Lambda, M_S, m_3/2).
Asymmetric inelastic vector-like fermion doublet dark matter from triplet scalar leptogenesis (arXiv:1108.3967 · score 18)No public likelihood covers inelastic Z-mediated nuclear recoils with O(keV) splitting for this model: the DAMA/Xenon100 Bayesian comparison is private and source-era, and modern experiments (XENONnT, LZ, PandaX) have not been recast for the ~100 GeV inelastic fermion-doublet target.
proposed resolution: Extend an open direct-detection rate/likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc or wimprates within a GAMBIT/pyhf-style likelihood) with the inelastic kinematics (delta ~ keV, minimum-velocity shift) and implement DAMA modulation plus current xenon-experiment likelihoods with explicit halo-parameter priors.
Quantum fermionic warm dark matter Thomas-Fermi galaxy model (arXiv:1301.1864 · score 18)No likelihood connects the Thomas-Fermi halo predictions to galaxy data: the card's only constraint is a placeholder (likelihood_available unknown), and there is no statistical pipeline fitting predicted core radii, central densities, or velocity dispersions of dwarf spheroidals to observed kinematics as a function of (m, g, mu(0)).
proposed resolution: Wrap the gap_1 solver in a Jeans/velocity-dispersion likelihood against published dwarf-spheroidal kinematic datasets (e.g. Milky Way dSph stellar-kinematics compilations) to turn the compact-dwarf phase-space argument into a proper posterior on the WDM particle mass.
Supersymmetric Peccei-Quinn Dirac-neutrino axion-axino dark matter (arXiv:1402.6523 · score 18)No detector-level likelihood or modern recast exists for the diffuse cosmological neutrino flux from late RH-sneutrino NLSP decays; the paper gives only an analytic flux estimate with no comparison to neutrino-telescope limits.

Pseudo-scalar fermionic Higgs portal dark matter (arXiv:1203.2064 · score 18)The card's constraints rest on XENON100-era direct-detection limits (approximate likelihood) and a qualitative indirect-detection discussion with no likelihood at all, so no current experimental likelihood is attached to either the velocity-suppressed recoil prediction or the velocity-independent present-day annihilation rate.
proposed resolution: Recast the Lambda_1/Lambda_5 recoil rate against LZ/XENONnT likelihoods with DDCalc, and confront the velocity-independent annihilation cross section into hh/tt/bb with the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal likelihoods using PPPC4DMID or HDMSpectra-style photon spectra.
Nambu-Goto Cusp Emission WIMP dark matter with p-wave annihilation (arXiv:1311.1637 · score 18)No dwarf-spheroidal gamma-ray likelihood applicable to velocity-suppressed p-wave annihilation is available on the card; the only imported limit is an illustrative s-wave WW Fermi-LAT bound, and p-wave limits require velocity-weighted (effective) J-factors per dwarf.

Inelastic third-generation B-L charged scalar dark matter (arXiv:1908.09277 · score 18)No indirect-detection likelihood recast exists for the model's cascade annihilation: applying Fermi-LAT dwarf limits to S S -> Z' Z' with third-generation (tau, b, nu_tau) dominated Z-prime branching fractions requires computing the boosted photon spectrum per final state, which the card encodes only qualitatively.
proposed resolution: Use MadDM or PPPC4DMID tau/b spectra boosted through the Z' two-body cascade to build the gamma-ray spectrum for (B-L)_3 branching fractions, then evaluate the public Fermi-LAT dwarf-spheroidal bin-by-bin likelihoods to produce <sigma v>_0 limits as a function of (m_S, m_Z_prime).
Type-X 2HDM secluded Dirac-fermion dark sector (arXiv:2312.17171 · score 18)No packaged indirect-detection pipeline for the secluded cascade: boosted photon spectra from DM DM -> mediator mediator -> leptons are not tabulated for this model, and no Fermi-LAT target and likelihood have been selected for the recast.

Leptoquark-portal SU(2)L-triplet vector-like fermion dark matter (arXiv:2206.06768 · score 17)No public gamma-ray likelihood pipeline is connected to this model: HESS constraints and CTA reach for the ~1.6 TeV and heavier triplet, annihilating dominantly to W+W- and S3 pairs, are cited from the source rather than evaluated (likelihood_available partial, tool_or_code null at step s3).
proposed resolution: Compute annihilation spectra for the W+W-, S3 S3 and coannihilation final states (PPPC4DMID/HDMSpectra via micrOMEGAs) and evaluate them against public HESS Galactic-center likelihoods and CTA sensitivity projections with an indirect-detection likelihood package such as gamLike or the MadDM indirect module.
750 GeV complex-scalar portal Majorana WIMP (arXiv:1603.05601 · score 16)The claim that direct and indirect detection limits are respected rests on paper benchmarks with unknown likelihood availability; no quantitative recast pipeline exists mapping the loop-level gluon/photon effective couplings to current direct-detection and gamma-ray limits.

Dodelson-Widrow sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1011.2217 · score 40)The quoted DW Lyman-alpha and satellite bounds are 2005-2013 vintage fixed limits, not a reusable likelihood; no current pipeline maps the DW distribution with its peculiar-velocity corrections onto modern Lyman-alpha flux-power or satellite-count data.

Supersymmetric out-of-equilibrium scalar freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1609.06739 · score 40)Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure constraints are calibrated on thermal WDM, while the card marks a single thermal-WDM mapping as misleading for this mixed cold-warm two-bump distribution; only an approximate likelihood exists, so structure exclusions stay at the qualitative lambda_FS-regime level.
proposed resolution: Pass the two-component f_N1(q) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold species (or two species) to compute T(k), then apply a transfer-function-level Lyman-alpha likelihood or flux-power emulator validated against thermal-WDM limits, rather than a lambda_FS proxy.
nuMSM sterile-neutrino dark matter with fermion-number-violating leptogenesis effects (arXiv:1703.06085 · score 40)No reusable Lyman-alpha/phase-space-density or X-ray decay likelihoods are implemented for spectrum-dependent resonant N1 dark matter; the mass-window constraint is marked likelihood_available partial with recasting needed and the viability step is qualitative only.

Inflaton-decay singlet-fermion dark matter with inflaton-mediated scatterings (arXiv:2205.03440 · score 40)No Lyman-alpha or matter-power likelihood recast exists for this model's collision-cooled nonthermal distribution: the paper only compares a free-streaming-length proxy, and the card warns that a thermal-WDM mass mapping would be unreliable, so the allowed mass-coupling region has never been derived from an actual transfer-function-level constraint.
proposed resolution: Feed the solver's tabulated f(p) into CLASS as a non-cold dark matter species to compute linear transfer functions, then constrain with a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. an area-criterion or WDM-emulator comparison recalibrated on the actual transfer-function shape).
Line-motivated resonantly produced sterile neutrino N1 dark matter (arXiv:2303.15513 · score 40)Structure-formation constraints on this model are applied only through the approximate half-mode-mass summary statistic; no released Milky Way satellite or Lyman-alpha likelihood consumes the full resonant (non-thermal) N1 transfer function directly, so limits inherit the thermal-WDM mapping error the paper warns about.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing satellite-count likelihood (e.g. the Milky Way subhalo framework used for WDM limits) and a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator to accept arbitrary suppressed transfer functions, then evaluate them on the gap_1 calibrated resonant T(k) grid rather than on thermal-relic equivalents.
Neutrino-interacting asymmetric dark matter with a charged mediator (arXiv:1412.3113 · score 39)No reusable Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count likelihood exists for this model's smooth interacting-DM cutoff; published small-scale-structure limits are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions, and the card records likelihood_available: no for the cutoff-consistency constraint.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100-style area-criterion or emulator analysis) and a DES/PanSTARRS satellite-count likelihood using the model-specific transfer functions produced in gap_1, mapping the interacting-DM cutoff onto half-mode mass rather than thermal WDM mass.
Inelastic freeze-in pseudo-Dirac dark matter (arXiv:2304.06072 · score 39)No bespoke likelihood exists for late chi2 -> chi1 e+ e- energy injection; BBN/CMB/Lyman-alpha bounds are rescaled from generic decaying-DM energy-deposition studies rather than computed with the model's three-body injection spectrum and partial-fraction (half-of-DM) decay.
proposed resolution: Feed the model's three-body e+e- injection spectrum into DarkHistory/ExoCLASS with a decaying-fraction treatment, couple to Planck CMB anisotropy and spectral-distortion (FIRAS/PIXIE forecast) likelihoods, and add a BBN energy-injection calculation for lifetimes near 1e12 s.
Affleck-Dine L-ball resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter scenario (arXiv:2402.11902 · score 39)No spectrum-aware Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal resonantly produced f_s(q); the card explicitly warns that a thermal-WDM mapping is insufficient, so current flux-power constraints cannot be applied at face value.
proposed resolution: Feed the numerical f_s(q) into CLASS as a non-cold (ncdm) species to obtain the linear transfer function, then recast through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. the area-criterion or emulator-based nonthermal-relic pipelines used for resonant sterile neutrinos) over the (m_s, sin^2 2theta, L_nue_init) grid.
Minimal LRSM N1 dark matter with right-handed triplet scalar dilution (arXiv:2312.00129 · score 38)The LSS constraint on the secondary hot N1 fraction rests on an SDSS DR7/Lyman-alpha era comparison with only a partial likelihood; no modern packaged LSS/Lyman-alpha or X-ray line likelihood exists for this mixed cold+hot sterile-neutrino spectrum.

Gauged U(1)_{B-L} light Dirac-neutrino-portal dark matter (arXiv:2312.06777 · score 38)The structure-formation constraint is only a free-streaming-length threshold; no pipeline maps the model's nonthermal FIMP momentum distribution to a linear transfer function and a Lyman-alpha (or Milky Way satellite) likelihood.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(q) into CLASS as a non-cold dark matter species to obtain T(k), then constrain it with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (or the area-criterion mapping to thermal WDM bounds) instead of the 0.1 Mpc FSL cut.
Sterile right-handed-neutrino dark matter from RHN oscillations (arXiv:1702.04526 · score 38)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal spectrum: the M1 > about 10 keV floor is a rough recast of thermal-WDM bounds under a pre-QCD production assumption, and the card records likelihood_available no with the constraint flagged recast_required.

Decaying warm dark matter with a massive dark-photon daughter (arXiv:2006.12348 · score 38)Small-scale-structure bounds are imported only through an approximate thermal-equivalent WDM mass mapping; no Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator accepts the model's nonthermal transfer function directly, making the m_wdm > 5.3 keV recast unreliable for this phase-space distribution.
proposed resolution: Apply an area-criterion or half-mode mapping validated for nonthermal spectra, or better, run the model transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator framework (e.g. the ones built on Sherwood/XQ-100-calibrated grids) to derive direct exclusion contours in (m_wdm, tau, epsilon_decay).
Messenger-inflation minimal GMSB gravitino superWIMP (arXiv:2103.11256 · score 38)No structure-formation likelihood is wired for the warmish gravitino: the card explicitly notes the absence of Lyman-alpha or satellite likelihoods, so the claim that lambda_FS may mitigate small-scale tensions without violating existing bounds cannot be tested against data.
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function from gap_1 exists, recast onto published WDM-style constraints via the half-mode mass: Lyman-alpha forest limits (e.g. emulator-based flux-power likelihoods), Milky Way satellite counts, and strong-lensing subhalo constraints, reporting the allowed (m_B, m_3/2) region.

Gravitino LSP dark matter with right-handed sneutrino NLSP (arXiv:0710.2968 · score 37)No structure-formation likelihood applies to the mixed cold/warm gravitino case: Lyman-alpha and satellite-count bounds exist only for pure thermal WDM, and the card states a model-specific mixed-component likelihood is unresolved (structure_free_streaming_bound: likelihood_available unknown, recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Once mixed transfer functions exist (gap_2), recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints using existing WDM/mixed-DM emulator machinery (area-criterion or dedicated emulator retraining on the two-component suppression shape) over (f_warm, lambda_FS), and add Milky Way satellite-count bounds for the same grid.
split-seesaw B-L thermal sterile neutrino with entropy dilution (arXiv:1907.11696 · score 37)Structure-formation constraints are applied only through approximate thermal-WDM equivalent masses; no Lyman-alpha or satellite-count likelihood that consumes the model's actual production-specific transfer function is available ('full production-specific likelihoods require transfer functions, not only equivalent masses').
proposed resolution: Interface the computed transfer function to an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. a Sherwood- or PRIYA-style emulator with area-criterion or direct P_F(k) comparison) and to satellite-count likelihoods, replacing the equivalent-mass mapping.
Scalar singlet FIMP dark matter with vectorlike fermion parent during reheating (arXiv:2306.17238 · score 37)The Lyman-alpha bound for reheating-era decay production is only an order-of-magnitude relaxation estimate: no computed FIMP phase-space distribution f(q) for production during reheating exists, and no Lyman-alpha likelihood or transfer-function pipeline evaluates it, so the quoted 9.2-16 keV floors cannot be replaced by a real bound.
proposed resolution: Derive f(q) for two-body vectorlike-parent decays occurring partly during the monomial reheating phase, feed it to CLASS as a non-cold relic to get T(k) over the (m_DM, m_P, T_rh, k) grid, and evaluate against a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator as done for radiation-dominated FIMP production.

R-invariant gauge-mediated gravitino warm dark matter (arXiv:1012.5466 · score 36)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is attached to the route; the card marks the Ly-alpha constraint as recast_required with likelihood_available partial, so the free-streaming suppression cannot be confronted with data quantitatively.

Non-cold fermionic dark matter from primordial black hole evaporation (arXiv:2004.14773 · score 36)No dedicated Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for the nonthermal PBH-evaporation transfer function; constraints rely on an approximate recast onto a conservative thermal-WDM breaking-scale bound.

Pseudo-Dirac split SIMP dark matter (arXiv:1702.04906 · score 34)The cluster self-interaction and free-streaming/Delta N_eff constraints exist only as quoted numbers (Bullet Cluster sigma/m limits, a roughly 100 kpc free-streaming limit); no likelihood or recast maps the model's velocity- and population-dependent cross section and hidden-sector thermal history onto these bounds, and the card records likelihood_available no for both.

Scalar field dark matter in the Thomas-Fermi self-interaction regime (arXiv:2106.13244 · score 34)No dedicated Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists for the gradual SFDM-TF cutoff; current bounds are imported by matching to FDM transfer-function cutoffs, which the paper itself warns can overstate constraints on R_TF because the cutoff shapes differ.
proposed resolution: Run hydrodynamical Lyman-alpha simulations (or retrain an existing WDM/FDM flux-power emulator) on SFDM-TF initial power spectra parameterized by R_TF, and release the resulting flux-power likelihood so R_TF bounds no longer rely on the FDM proxy mapping.
Light Dirac neutrino portal freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2205.01144 · score 34)The dominant structure-formation constraint is imposed only through a free-streaming-length proxy (lambda_FSL < 0.1 Mpc); no calibrated Lyman-alpha or transfer-function likelihood exists for the model's decay-produced nonthermal momentum distribution, and the card notes no valid thermal-WDM mapping.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f(p) into CLASS as an ncdm species to compute the linear power suppression, then constrain with a public Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator (area-criterion or flux-power based) instead of the lambda_FSL threshold, recalibrating the O(100 keV) mass bound.
Sterile-neutrino portal interacting fermion dark matter (arXiv:2305.01383 · score 34)The Lyman-alpha limits on DM-neutrino scattering are legacy plot-level exclusions with no public likelihood, so the ACT-preferred coupling region cannot be jointly tested against Ly-alpha data for this model's cross-section scalings.
proposed resolution: Recast the nu-DM damped power spectra from CLASS_nu-DM through an existing Lyman-alpha flux emulator or the standard area-criterion/WDM-equivalent mapping, and publish the resulting likelihood over (u_DM, m_DM) for n=0 and n=2 scalings.
Thermal hadronic axion dark matter with low-temperature reheating (arXiv:0711.1352 · score 34)Constraints exist only as WMAP/SDSS-era contours mapped by the primary paper in the (Omega_a h^2, lambda_fs) plane; no modern CMB+LSS likelihood covers entropy-diluted hot axions with reduced T_a/T_gamma, and Lyman-alpha information was explicitly excluded from the mapped contours.

Partially interacting dark-atom dark matter with dark acoustic oscillations (arXiv:1310.3278 · score 34)The exact posterior on (f_int, xi, Gamma_DAO) cannot be reproduced because the source MCMC chains and Gamma_DAO-parameterized likelihood configuration are unavailable, and the Ly-alpha context bound (con_lya_dm_dr_context, likelihood_available 'no') has no likelihood through which the oscillatory PIDM transfer function can be passed.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the constraint pipeline in Cobaya/MontePython with current Planck, BAO, and full-shape galaxy likelihoods on top of the dark-atom Boltzmann module, and recast small-scale bounds by feeding the PIDM transfer function through a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or the standard area-criterion mapping calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations.
Higgs-portal self-interacting freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2311.10360 · score 34)No likelihood exists for either the SIDM target region (dwarf/group/cluster sigma_T/m inferences are used as a heuristic band, likelihood_available: no) or the null-signal detection constraints (Higgs invisible width, Fermi-LAT, CMB energy injection, Voyager, Lyman-alpha are quoted as non-machine-readable curves), so the compatible parameter region cannot be statistically evaluated.
proposed resolution: Assemble a composite likelihood: recast published halo-scale sigma_T/m inferences (e.g. the Kaplinghat-Tulin-Yu data points) into a velocity-binned likelihood, and wrap the detection channels using existing public machinery (DDCalc for SI scattering, Higgs invisible width formula, published CMB f_eff and Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihoods) for this model's annihilation spectra.
PBH sterile neutrinogenesis sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2312.12136 · score 34)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or emulator applies to the sparse, highly energetic nonthermal PBH-emission sterile-neutrino spectrum; published bounds are calibrated to thermal-relic WDM and the card explicitly flags the thermal-WDM mass mapping as misleading, leaving the f_s=1 boundary figure-based only.
proposed resolution: Compute transfer functions with CLASS using the tabulated PBH-emission f(q) (ncdm psd file) over the (m_s, M_PBH, f_s, T_evap) grid, and recast them through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (or a validated area-criterion mapping) to replace the digitized blue-line boundary.
Asymmetric condensed dark matter (arXiv:1502.07354 · score 33)No structure-formation likelihood is connected to the hot-relic suppression: the dwarf-erasure bound is applied only as a rough m ~ 10 keV rule of thumb (likelihood_available: no for con_hot_relic_mass_tension), so the allowed thermal-cloud fraction versus mass is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Recast existing mixed cold-plus-hot dark matter constraints (Lyman-alpha likelihoods/emulators and Milky Way satellite counts, as used for sterile-neutrino and C+WDM fractions) onto the (m, hot-fraction) plane using the transfer functions from the CLASS implementation.
Sub-keV fermionic dark matter with Fermi-pressure dwarf cores (arXiv:1611.04590 · score 33)The Lyman-alpha constraint is applied only through an approximate thermal-equivalent-mass mapping; no flux-power likelihood evaluation exists for this model's suppressed transfer functions, which is exactly where the 400 eV core window meets the roughly 470 eV thermal bound.
proposed resolution: Recast the model transfer functions from gap_1 through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the public WDM flux-power frameworks) using half-mode or full-shape matching, marginalizing over IGM thermal history.
Non-minimally coupled gravitational scalar dark matter (arXiv:2305.14446 · score 33)The Lyman-alpha bound is applied through an equation-of-state/second-moment thermal-WDM equivalence instead of propagating the computed nonthermal f(q) through a Boltzmann code into a Lyman-alpha likelihood, leaving the quoted 34 eV plateau and the low-xi mass floor uncertain (the latter also OCR-ambiguous).
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f(q) into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold relic (ncdm psd file), compute T(k), and evaluate against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. lym1d or a Sherwood/eBOSS-calibrated emulator) to replace the thermal-WDM-equivalent matching.
Thermal hadronic axion dark matter with kination (arXiv:0711.1352 · score 32)The only constraint mapping is via WMAP/SDSS-era contours reconstructed from the primary paper; no modern CMB+LSS likelihood exists in the (Omega_a h^2, lambda_fs) or (m_a, T_kin) plane for kination-modified thermal axions, and Lyman-alpha data were never included.

proposed resolution: Apply a shape-independent Lyman-alpha constraint to the CLASS transfer functions (e.g. an area-criterion or delta-A analysis calibrated on existing flux-power likelihoods, or retrain a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator on generalized T(k) parameterizations) so arbitrary f_N(p) spectra can be confronted with forest and satellite-count data.
DFSZ freeze-in axino dark matter with bilinear R-parity violation (arXiv:1707.06418 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha likelihood accepts the nonthermal axino transfer function directly; the constraint is imported by comparing to conventional-WDM exclusion curves (lyman_alpha_wdm_recast, likelihood_available: no), which the card notes can misstate the exclusion.

Inflationary light dark photon dark matter (arXiv:2004.10743 · score 32)No model-specific likelihood recasts the Lyman-alpha forest and black-hole superradiance bounds for this vector spectrum; the paper only quotes external scalar fuzzy-DM bounds, so the low-mass exclusion boundary (m_A' near 1e-21 eV) is not quantitatively established for this model.

proposed resolution: Compute transfer functions with CLASS's ncdm sector using the diluted temperature ratio and gravitino fraction, then constrain them either with a flux-power emulator trained on mixed C+WDM hydrodynamical simulations (Sherwood/PRIYA-style suites) or, at reduced precision, with a Murgia-style area-criterion recast of published MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 limits.
Dirac scotogenic freeze-in dark matter with gauged U(1) B-L (arXiv:2203.04276 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha likelihood applicable to this model's nonthermal spectrum exists in the analysis chain: the 5.3 keV bound is a thermal-relic WDM limit, and no recast (area criterion or emulator-based) has been set up to translate the gauge-freeze-in transfer function into a statistically meaningful Ly-alpha constraint.
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function from gap_1 exists, apply a published non-thermal recast method (half-mode/area-criterion mapping validated against MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100, or a hydro-calibrated Ly-alpha flux emulator) to produce exclusion contours in (m_DM, v_B-L, T_RH).
Hot and heavy phase-transition-produced scalar dark matter (arXiv:2207.05096 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha (or stream/lensing/21-cm) likelihood recast exists for this model's nonthermal transfer function; the card only maps to thermal-WDM reference masses, which the source itself flags as not directly applicable (likelihood_available: no on con_pt_wdm_equivalent_velocity).
proposed resolution: Fit the CLASS-computed T(k) to the standard {alpha, beta, gamma} non-cold transfer-function parameterization and reuse published Lyman-alpha MCMC bounds on that space (Murgia/Irsic-style), extending later to satellite-count and stellar-stream likelihoods via the half-mode mass.
Vector dark matter from linear non-minimally coupled inflaton decay (arXiv:2310.06039 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha likelihood or recast exists for this model's nonthermal transfer function; the allowed 4 keV to 1 MeV window relies on a thermal-WDM proxy criterion whose validity for decay-produced spectra is untested.

Kinetic recoupling dark matter (arXiv:2310.20513 · score 32)No small-scale likelihood is valid for the oscillatory, dark-acoustic-oscillation-like P(k) of kinetic recoupling: existing Lyman-alpha forest constraints and emulators are calibrated on WDM-like monotonic suppressions, and the highlighted 21-cm reach (k ~ 3-80 Mpc^-1) exists only as qualitative forecasts.
proposed resolution: Build a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator trained on hydrodynamical simulations with recoupling initial power spectra (extending existing non-CDM Lyman-alpha emulator suites beyond monotonic suppressions), and implement a HERA-style 21-cm power-spectrum forecast likelihood over the recoupling template parameters.

FOPT-generated ultra-light PBH evaporation scalar dark matter (arXiv:2401.12282 · score 32)The Lyman-alpha constraint on the warm, evaporation-produced scalar dark matter is applied only as a cited free-streaming-length cut; no pipeline maps the nonthermal Hawking emission spectrum (card notes distribution_function_available: no) to a linear transfer function and a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood for this M_in-M_DM plane.

Single keV sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1009.5870 · score 31)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is available that accepts general non-thermal sterile-neutrino transfer functions; constraints are imposed only through production-dependent thermal-equivalent mass translations quoted from earlier literature, which the card flags as its dominant systematic.
proposed resolution: Recast the model through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood that takes arbitrary suppressed transfer functions (e.g. area-criterion or emulator-based WDM frameworks), evaluated on the f(q)-specific P(k) from the production pipeline rather than a thermal-equivalent mass.
Sub-dominant axino decay gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1104.0692 · score 31)No Lyman-alpha or structure-formation likelihood applies to the mixed cold+warm gravitino case: existing Ly-alpha bounds are calibrated on pure thermal-relic WDM, and the constraint used (relativistic_decay_structure_bound) is an approximate energy-density cut with likelihood_available only 'approximate'.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed mixed transfer functions through a Lyman-alpha flux-power framework that supports cold-plus-warm mixtures (e.g. a mixed C+WDM emulator trained on hydrodynamical simulations, or the area-criterion mapping onto published mixed-WDM fraction bounds), replacing the m_axino Y_axino threshold with a fraction-dependent exclusion.
Composite sterile Dirac neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1205.0569 · score 31)No Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator evaluation exists for this model's non-thermal momentum distributions; the card translates bounds only through an approximate thermal T/m free-streaming rescaling, which cannot capture resonant or inflaton-decay spectra.

Saxion-decay axino warm dark matter with axion dark radiation (arXiv:1208.2496 · score 31)No current likelihood confronts the model's joint Delta N_eff and small-scale-suppression predictions with data: the N_eff constraint predates final Planck results and the Lyman-alpha bound is applied only through the thermal-WDM equivalence rather than a likelihood evaluated on the nonthermal spectrum.
proposed resolution: Build a joint likelihood combining the Planck 2018 (+BAO) N_eff posterior with a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 based WDM likelihood generalized to nonthermal transfer functions), taking the CLASS outputs of the resolved transfer-function calculation as input.
Vector-parent non-thermal vector WIMP dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 31)No likelihood exists to turn the mixed cold-plus-boosted matter-power suppression into a bound on the nonthermal fraction f: the quoted f < 0.01 limit is taken from the paper's WMAP9-plus-Lyman-alpha analytic summary (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes) and has never been recast with a modern CMB plus Lyman-alpha-forest data likelihood.
proposed resolution: Recast the f bound by feeding the gap_1 transfer functions into a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-style compressed likelihoods) combined with Planck CMB data, scanning over f, tau_X, and M_X/M_DM.

proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated freeze-in f(p) into the CLASS ncdm sector to compute exact transfer functions, then evaluate them with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. area-criterion or MIKE/HIRES-calibrated WDM likelihoods generalized to non-cold spectra) to replace the equivalent-m_WDM scaling.
Single-flavor-transition heavy-quark freeze-in ALP dark matter (arXiv:2404.12199 · score 31)The Lyman-alpha bound is applied only through an approximate thermal-WDM equivalent-mass mapping; no likelihood pipeline evaluates the actual nonthermal freeze-in transfer function (which differs between decay- and scattering-dominated transitions) against Lyman-alpha flux data, so the m_a floor carries unquantified convention factors.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated freeze-in f(p) for each transition benchmark into the CLASS ncdm sector to compute exact transfer functions, then evaluate them with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. area-criterion or MIKE/HIRES-calibrated WDM likelihoods generalized to non-cold spectra) to replace the equivalent-m_WDM scaling.
Atomic dark matter model (arXiv:1209.5752 · score 30)No Lyman-alpha or CMB likelihood exists for the oscillatory DAO-plus-damping transfer function: the paper uses representative k_DAO cuts rather than a statistical comparison, and existing Ly-alpha emulators are calibrated on monotonic WDM-like suppression, not oscillatory spectra.
proposed resolution: Recast the atomic-DM transfer functions through a Ly-alpha forest likelihood valid for oscillatory spectra (extending existing flux-power emulators with hydrodynamic simulations on DAO-type initial conditions) and add the modified solver of gap_1 to a Planck CMB likelihood pipeline for xi/Delta N_eff constraints.
Hidden-sector thermal relic dark matter parameterization (arXiv:1012.4458 · score 30)Structure-formation constraints are applied only through an approximate mapping of the hidden-sector free-streaming length onto thermal-WDM Lyman-alpha bounds; no Lyman-alpha or matter-power likelihood calibrated for xi-dependent hidden-sector momentum distributions exists, and no simulation calibration was performed (simulation_calibrated: no).
proposed resolution: Compute exact transfer functions with CLASS using the hidden-sector distribution in the ncdm sector across the (m_chi, xi) plane, then recast through an existing Lyman-alpha WDM likelihood/emulator (e.g. the area-criterion or a Lyman-alpha flux emulator) instead of the half-mode thermal-WDM translation.
Constrained nuMSM resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1204.3902 · score 30)There is no end-to-end structure-formation likelihood for the resonantly produced N1: the colder nonthermal momentum distribution must be propagated into a transfer function and compared to Lyman-alpha data, but the card provides no pipeline connecting f(p) to a Ly-alpha likelihood, so the structure verdict rests on qualitative WDM-bound arguments.
proposed resolution: Feed sterile-dm-style resonant distribution functions into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold relic (ncdm with tabulated f(p)), and evaluate the resulting flux-power suppression against a public Lyman-alpha likelihood or WDM emulator over the (M1, sin^2(2 theta_1), asymmetry) grid.
Warm dark matter from long-lived Majorana fermion decays (arXiv:1303.6267 · score 30)No small-scale-structure likelihood applies to this decay-produced spectrum: Lyman-alpha and satellite-count constraints are calibrated for thermal-WDM transfer functions, and the card states no Ly-alpha likelihood was run, leaving the free-streaming viability constraint (con_majorana_decay_wdm_structure) unquantified.
proposed resolution: Map the gap_2 nonthermal transfer functions onto existing Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via an area-criterion or emulator-based recast (and onto Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods), producing exclusion contours in (M1/M2, tau2, M1) instead of a single thermal-WDM mass bound.
Fermion-parent non-thermal fermion WIMP dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 30)No likelihood exists to turn the mixed cold-plus-boosted matter-power suppression into a bound on the nonthermal fraction f: the quoted f < 0.01 limit is taken from the paper's WMAP9-plus-Lyman-alpha analytic summary (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes) and has never been recast with a modern CMB plus Lyman-alpha-forest data likelihood.
proposed resolution: Recast the f bound by feeding the gap_1 transfer functions into a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-style compressed likelihoods) combined with Planck CMB data, scanning over f, tau_X, and M_X/M_DM.
Coherent-oscillation phi_16 degenerate fermion dark matter from broken U(1)_{B-L} (arXiv:2004.07863 · score 30)The structure-formation viability is judged only by a 0.3-0.5 Mpc free-streaming window and a rough thermal-WDM 1.9 keV mapping; no Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count likelihood has been applied to the actual nonthermal transfer function of this model.
proposed resolution: Run the model's computed T(k) through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or area-criterion/emulator recast for non-thermal spectra and through a Milky Way satellite-count likelihood (DES/PS1-style), replacing the free-streaming-window proxy with likelihood-grade bounds on m_DM and y_*.
Free phi_16 decay degenerate fermion dark matter from broken U(1)_{B-L} (arXiv:2004.07863 · score 30)The structure-formation viability is judged only by a 0.3-0.5 Mpc free-streaming window and a rough thermal-WDM 1.9 keV mapping; no Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count likelihood has been applied to the actual nonthermal transfer function of this variant (m_DM 0.2-0.35 keV).
proposed resolution: Run the model's computed T(k) through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or area-criterion/emulator recast for non-thermal spectra and through a Milky Way satellite-count likelihood (DES/PS1-style), replacing the free-streaming-window proxy with likelihood-grade bounds on m_DM, Br, and y_*.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with a gauged U(1) L_mu-L_tau vector (arXiv:2005.03681 · score 30)No transfer-function-level structure likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal f_4(x,z): the card notes the dwarf/Lyman-alpha lower-mass pressure is only a rough recast target with no full transfer-function likelihood per vector scenario.
proposed resolution: Feed the solver-produced f_4(x,z) into CLASS as a non-cold relic to compute T(k), then recast through an existing Lyman-alpha emulator/likelihood (e.g. an area-criterion or WDM-equivalent mapping for non-thermal sterile spectra) and dwarf-count likelihoods to replace the qualitative 7.1 keV margin.
Spin-1 relativistic-decay dark matter EFT (arXiv:2212.13272 · score 30)No end-to-end likelihood pipeline maps the EFT parameters (Lambda, m_X, m_DM, tau_X, fraction f) onto joint CMB N_eff/H0, BBN light-element, and matter-power/free-streaming data, so the quoted H0 about 70 km/s/Mpc claim and the allowed parameter region cannot be statistically validated.
proposed resolution: Wrap the modified solver of gap_1 in a Cobaya/MontePython run using Planck plus BAO plus SH0ES likelihoods, add PRIMAT/AlterBBN for photon-injection BBN bounds, and include a Lyman-alpha or CMB-lensing matter-power likelihood for the free-streaming constraint.
Scalar-driven sterile-neutrino dark matter with an ultralight scalar (arXiv:2305.08095 · score 30)No small-scale-structure likelihood accepts this model's non-thermal colder-than-DW transfer function; existing Lyman-alpha, strong-lensing, and satellite-count bounds are published as thermal-WDM or standard-DW mass limits (e.g. the quoted 92 keV DW exclusion) and cannot be applied without a model-specific recast.
proposed resolution: Feed the CLASS transfer function from the scalar-driven f_N(p) into existing WDM constraint machinery via a half-mode-mass or area-criterion mapping onto Lyman-alpha (compressed flux-power likelihoods or emulators), galaxy-galaxy strong-lensing substructure, and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, checking the mapping validity for the non-thermal spectral shape.
Three-to-one resonantly produced mixed sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2306.16532 · score 30)No likelihood pipeline exists that jointly evaluates the fraction-weighted X-ray decay-line constraint and the strong-lensing, Milky-Way satellite, and Lyman-alpha structure constraints for mixed sterile-plus-CDM models; published limits assume all-sterile or thermal-WDM spectra and require recasting.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's T(k) and fraction-weighted mixing angle into existing public likelihoods (DES/PS1 Milky-Way satellite likelihood, strong-lensing substructure likelihoods, a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator) and recast published X-ray line limits with the f-weighted decay flux, exposing the combination over (m_s, sin^2 2theta, L_alpha, f).
Inflaton-produced scalar dark matter (arXiv:2309.08305 · score 30)The Lyman-alpha constraint is imposed only through an equation-of-state matching to a thermal WDM bound (k_H > 15 h/Mpc criterion); no Boltzmann transfer-function computation for the actual nonthermal f_chi(q), and no Lyman-alpha likelihood evaluated on it, exist — the card notes a full recast could shift the m_chi bound.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f_chi(q) from gap_1 into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold-dark-matter species to compute the true transfer-function cutoff, then evaluate it against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. area-criterion or WDM-equivalent mapping calibrated on MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100/eBOSS) to replace the translated bound.
Memory-burdened PBH evaporation dark matter cogenesis (arXiv:2405.15858 · score 30)The Lyman-alpha obstruction to cogenesis is asserted via a thermal-WDM mass-bound mapping, not a likelihood: no Lyman-alpha likelihood or transfer-function-level recast exists for this nonthermal PBH-emitted spectrum, so the stated exclusion of simultaneous DM and BAU production is qualitative.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed non-cold transfer functions through an established Lyman-alpha constraint framework (area-criterion mapping onto thermal-WDM bounds, or directly through a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood) to obtain quantitative bounds in the (M_in, k, q, m_DM) plane.
Memory-burdened PBH evaporation dark matter cogenesis (arXiv:2405.15858 · score 30)The induced-GW observable is compared only against LISA/ET/BBO/DECIGO sensitivity projections; no likelihood or detection-statistic module is attached, so the GW channel cannot yet constrain or favor parameter space quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Package digitized power-law-integrated sensitivity curves for LISA/ET/BBO/DECIGO into a signal-to-noise forecast module for the Omega_GW(f) output, so GW reach maps onto the same (M_in, beta, k, q) grid as the relic and Lyman-alpha calculations.
Light collisional cold dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0309652 · score 30)No likelihood exists for the structure-formation survival bound: the damping-scale constraint (likelihood_available: unknown) is a qualitative exclusion of parameters that erase observed galaxy/early-halo scales, with no Lyman-alpha or halo-abundance statistical pipeline applicable to the oscillatory light-DM cutoff.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing small-scale-structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or MW satellite-count likelihood) in terms of the model's damping mass M_damp and kinetic-decoupling parameters, validating the non-WDM cutoff shape against a small set of dedicated hydrodynamical runs.
Hidden-fermion-assisted gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1009.5865 · score 30)The mixed cold/warm small-scale constraint is inherited from a WMAP5-era Lyman-alpha analysis; no current mixed CDM+WDM Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator is connected to bound f_WDM versus lambda_FS for this model.
proposed resolution: Apply a modern Lyman-alpha framework to the computed transfer functions, e.g. the Murgia-Irsic-Viel area-criterion recast or a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator, to update the allowed (f_WDM, lambda_FS) region.
Neutrinophilic singlet dark matter DS_M1 (arXiv:1710.09846 · score 30)The Lyman-alpha constraint is applied only as a broad overview bound (decoupling before the ~100 eV epoch); no Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator calibrated for acoustic-damping (dark-oscillation) transfer-function shapes, as opposed to thermal-WDM cutoffs, is available for this model.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's CLASS transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator (e.g. an ETHOS/interacting-DM extension of WDM-calibrated emulators) or apply the area-criterion mapping validated for non-WDM cutoff shapes, replacing the fixed 100 eV timing cut.
Neutrinophilic singlet dark matter DS_M2 (arXiv:1710.09846 · score 30)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is available for the late-kinetic-decoupling cutoff; the paper uses only a broad overview bound and the card flags that modern, more restrictive Lyman-alpha analyses were not recast.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's computed transfer functions onto existing WDM/interacting-DM Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods or emulators (e.g. half-mode-mass mapping onto published MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 style analyses), validating the mapping for acoustic-oscillation-type cutoffs.
Heavy-scalar decay gravitino warm dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0604132 · score 30)No modern small-scale-structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite counts) is connected to this model's nonthermal suppression; the free-streaming constraint is a 2006-era analytic estimate, and the card records likelihood_available as no/unknown for all constraints.
proposed resolution: Once transfer functions exist (gap_1), recast them through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or area-criterion WDM bound and through satellite-count likelihoods, mapping each (B_3/2, M_X, T_R) point to an equivalent thermal-WDM mass with validity checks on the shape mismatch.
DFSZ axino cold dark matter (arXiv:1108.2282 · score 29)No Lyman-alpha/reionization likelihood applies to this model's mixed cold-warm axino scenario: the source used SDSS-era velocity bounds and a warm-fraction limit of about 0.35, while existing Lyman-alpha emulators and likelihoods are calibrated for pure thermal-relic WDM, not a subdominant warm component with a decay-injected spectrum.
proposed resolution: Recast mixed cold+warm dark matter Lyman-alpha constraints onto the model by mapping the CLASS-computed transfer functions to the (warm fraction, thermal-equivalent mass) plane of published mixed-DM Lyman-alpha analyses, or extend a flux-power emulator with the mixed-spectrum suppression shape.
KSVZ axino cold dark matter (arXiv:1108.2282 · score 29)No Lyman-alpha (small-scale structure) likelihood exists for the mixed cold-thermal plus warm-nonthermal axino population: the nonthermal phase-space distribution from NLSP decays is only approximate in the card, and existing Lyman-alpha bounds are calibrated to pure thermal WDM.
proposed resolution: Derive the decay-produced axino f(p) analytically, evolve the mixed population with the CLASS ncdm sector to get the transfer function, and map onto Lyman-alpha constraints via the half-mode/area criterion or a WDM-calibrated flux-power emulator extended to cold-plus-warm mixtures.
Hidden-charged dark matter with chiral dark radiation (arXiv:1706.05605 · score 29)The Lyman-alpha bound on the model's power suppression exists only as a recast of a related but not identical DM-DR analysis (con_hidden_dr_lya_recast, likelihood_available: no); no validated mapping from the hidden-U(1) opacity to the flux-power likelihood used in that analysis is available for this model's e_D range.
proposed resolution: Compute the model's linear matter power spectra from the modified CLASS and evaluate them against a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or compressed emulator (e.g. an area-criterion or WDM-style emulator recast calibrated on SDSS/MIKE-HIRES data), validating the opacity-equivalence assumption stated on the card.
Mirror matter dark matter with cooler mirror sector (arXiv:hep-ph/0304260 · score 29)No Lyman-alpha (or satellite/reionization) likelihood is valid for the mirror-baryon transfer function: existing small-scale constraints assume thermal-WDM-like smooth cutoffs, while this model predicts acoustic oscillations plus collisional damping, and the card marks the thermal WDM mapping as misleading.
proposed resolution: Run hydrodynamic Lyman-alpha forest simulations (or extend an existing flux-power emulator) over a grid of mirror transfer functions parameterized by (x, Omega_b_prime), so oscillatory damped spectra can be constrained directly rather than through a thermal-WDM mass proxy.
Low-reheat warm gravitino dark matter (arXiv:0805.2836 · score 28)Current small-scale-structure constraints on this model rest on a phase-space-density criterion and WMAP/Lyman-alpha-era literature; no modern Lyman-alpha or Milky Way satellite likelihood has been applied to the actual nonthermal gravitino spectra (likelihood_available: partial, thermal-WDM limits cannot be copied directly).
proposed resolution: Propagate the model transfer functions through existing public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods and Milky Way satellite-count WDM likelihoods (DES/PS1-class), replacing the thermal-equivalent-mass shortcut with the exact f(p,t)-based suppression.
nuMSM lepton-asymmetry resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0804.4543 · score 28)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applicable to resonant nonthermal sterile-neutrino spectra is available; the card only carries a 2005-era thermal-WDM lower-bound recast whose thermal-equivalent mapping the paper itself flags as unreliable for these spectra.
proposed resolution: Run the model transfer functions from step s2 through a modern public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-class analyses) instead of copying thermal-WDM mass limits, packaging the result as a likelihood over (M_1, sin^2 2theta, n_L/s).
Nonminimally coupled scalar dark matter from R^2 inflation (arXiv:1201.3539 · score 28)The warm/cold classification rests on an average-velocity-at-equality criterion; the decay-produced momentum distribution has not been propagated to a linear transfer function or confronted with a small-scale-structure (Lyman-alpha/subhalo) likelihood, and the card notes no dedicated Lyman-alpha likelihood was read.
proposed resolution: Derive the decay-produced f(q) from the scalaron-decay kinematics, feed it to CLASS as a custom ncdm species to get the transfer-function cutoff, and map it to existing thermal-WDM Lyman-alpha and satellite-count bounds via a half-mode-mass matching.
Goldilocks cosmology gravitino dark matter in minimal GMSB (arXiv:1205.6480 · score 28)The small-scale-structure and BBN tests are only threshold criteria (lambda_FS < 0.5 Mpc, tau_chi < 0.1-1 s) with 'approximate' likelihoods; no transfer-function-based matter-power/Lyman-alpha likelihood for the decay-produced gravitino spectrum and no element-abundance BBN injection calculation exist for this scenario.
proposed resolution: Compute the non-thermal gravitino momentum distribution from late neutralino decay, obtain T(k) via CLASS ncdm and evaluate a public Lyman-alpha or satellite-count likelihood in place of the 0.5 Mpc cut, and run the decay injection through a public BBN injection code such as ACROPOLIS to replace the lifetime cut.
Light-vector freeze-in dark matter with plasmon decay (arXiv:1902.08623 · score 28)No reusable joint likelihood exists for the small-scale probes (Lyman-alpha forest, quasar lensing, stellar streams, Milky Way satellites) applied to arbitrary nonthermal freeze-in transfer functions; the quoted mass floor up to 20 keV was derived in the related paper and cannot be re-evaluated for other thermalization scenarios or parameter points.
proposed resolution: Assemble a joint likelihood pipeline combining Planck CMB likelihoods, a compressed Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (or WDM-calibrated emulator), and published satellite/stream suppression likelihoods, parameterized by the model transfer function rather than a thermal-WDM mass, and calibrate it by reproducing the related paper's mass reach.
Benchmark FIMP freeze-in warm dark matter model (arXiv:1907.04558 · score 28)No Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator is available that consumes the FIMP's nonthermal transfer function directly; constraints are translated through an approximate thermal-WDM warmness or half-mode mapping, which the card flags as benchmark-dependent and a leading systematic.
proposed resolution: Feed the CLASS-computed nonthermal transfer functions into an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator framework (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 or eBOSS WDM emulator setups) with IGM nuisance marginalization, replacing the m_WDM-equivalent proxy with a direct P(k)-level likelihood.
Hadronic up-type minimal scalar FIMP freeze-in model (arXiv:1910.00117 · score 28)No distribution-specific Lyman-alpha constraint exists for the decay-produced scalar FIMP momentum spectrum: the m_s > 12 keV floor is a quoted proxy bound without a transfer-function table or likelihood, and modern flux-power limits may move it.
proposed resolution: Compute the decay-produced f(p) analytically, feed it to CLASS as a non-cold ncdm species to get the transfer function over (m_s, m_F, T_R), and recast current Lyman-alpha WDM limits (half-mode/area criterion or an emulator-based flux-power likelihood) into an updated m_s floor.
Leptonic minimal scalar FIMP freeze-in model (arXiv:1910.00117 · score 28)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is attached for the suppressed power spectra of this decay-produced FIMP; the constraint is a single quoted 12 keV threshold from the primary paper, which modern flux-power data would shift.
proposed resolution: Map the model transfer functions onto the Murgia-Viel {alpha,beta,gamma} parameterization and evaluate against an existing MIKE/HIRES/XQ-100 flux-power likelihood or a trained Lyman-alpha emulator, revalidating the 12 keV edge before scanning.
Neutrino-portal dark matter with neutrino-mediated self-interactions (arXiv:2106.08339 · score 28)The collisional-damping cutoff and Lyman-alpha constraint are evaluated only by comparing to a generic DM-neutrino elastic-scattering bound; no Boltzmann-level computation or likelihood exists for this EFT's temperature-dependent DM-neutrino interaction and M_cut prediction.
proposed resolution: Implement the neutrino-portal scattering rate in a DM-neutrino-interacting modified CLASS (ETHOS-style nu-DM coupling), compute the linear power suppression, and score it against Lyman-alpha flux-power and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods instead of the translated generic bound.
Thermal-effects freeze-in sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2308.01341 · score 28)No production-specific structure-formation likelihood exists: Lyman-alpha, satellite-count, and phase-space bounds are quoted from thermal-relic or DW-based mappings, but constraining this model requires propagating its colder freeze-in distribution function to the matter power spectrum.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(q) benchmarks into CLASS as non-cold dark matter to get transfer functions, then apply Lyman-alpha forest likelihoods/emulators and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, reporting mass bounds as a function of the freeze-in channel mix and f_DM.
Regurgitated fermion dark matter (arXiv:2309.05703 · score 28)The warmness of Hawking-emitted RDM is only checked against a crude BBN temperature floor; no transfer-function calculation or Lyman-alpha/structure-formation likelihood exists for the Hawking-emission phase-space distribution, leaving the warm-DM region unquantified.

Thermal hadronic axion in nonstandard cosmologies (arXiv:2308.01352 · score 28)No Boltzmann-to-likelihood pipeline exists for the mixed cold-misalignment plus warm-thermal axion population: CLASS-style ncdm setups handle a single thermal species with a nonstandard temperature, but no configured run or LSS/CMB likelihood covers the two-component (cold fraction plus warm fraction) case this model predicts.
proposed resolution: Configure CLASS with a cold axion fluid plus an ncdm species at the computed axion temperature T_a0, and couple it to Planck and galaxy-clustering/Lyman-alpha likelihoods in MontePython or Cobaya, scanning (m_a, f_cold, f_warm) to produce reusable mixed-population constraints.
Relativistically decoupled warm dark matter with arbitrary distribution function (arXiv:1008.0992 · score 27)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists that accepts a general transfer function T(k) with distribution-dependent free-streaming and acoustic-oscillation features; existing flux-power constraints and emulators are calibrated on thermal-relic or Dodelson-Widrow-like cutoffs, so the quoted 550 eV / 2.0 keV limits cannot be transferred to arbitrary f_0(p) without recasting.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Ly-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood framework to take generic T(k) shapes as input (parameterized by cutoff scale, slope, and oscillation amplitude/phase) instead of a thermal-equivalent WDM mass, trained on hydrodynamic simulations spanning that shape space.

proposed resolution: Assemble a recast pipeline: compute the transfer function from f(p) with a modified CLASS/CAMB non-cold-relic module, apply published Ly-alpha WDM likelihoods or emulators, add stacked X-ray line limits (e.g. from blank-sky and M31 analyses), and couple the eV-sterile sector to a public oscillation global-fit code.
Global-U(1) pseudo-Dirac dark matter with Goldstone dark radiation (arXiv:1404.6127 · score 27)Lyman-alpha and small-scale-structure constraints are only partially available and calibrated for WDM-like exponential cutoffs; no likelihood handles this model's oscillatory dark-acoustic-oscillation power spectrum, so exclusions cannot be stated without recasting.
proposed resolution: Recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints for DAO-shaped spectra using an emulator or area-criterion mapping trained on hydrodynamical simulations with ETHOS-like initial conditions, fed by the gap_1 transfer functions.
7.1 keV sterile-neutrino dark matter with low-scale leptogenesis (arXiv:1412.4899 · score 27)No matter-power/Lyman-alpha likelihood (nor a validated thermal-WDM mapping, which the card marks unavailable) exists for this model's decay-produced nonthermal transfer function, so the free-streaming constraint status is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Compute the linear transfer function with CLASS ncdm using the derived f(p), then recast it through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (or a validated area-criterion thermal-WDM mapping) to bound the (m_s, T_prod) benchmark.
Quasi-cold dark matter with velocity-dispersion perturbations (arXiv:1507.00982 · score 27)No dedicated Lyman-alpha likelihood or calibrated recast maps sigma^2 to a flux-power constraint; the card's Lyman-alpha bound rests on comparing cutoff scales to thermal-WDM masses even though the quasi-cold transfer function is not identical to thermal WDM, and the validity of that mapping in the k ~ 20-70 h/Mpc range is untested.
proposed resolution: Feed the gap_1 linear P(k) into an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood framework calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations (e.g. the WDM-style emulators used for MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS analyses, or an area-criterion recast validated against them) to derive a direct exclusion on sigma^2 rather than an equivalent-WDM-mass proxy.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with Dodelson-Widrow modification of a non-trivial initial abundance (arXiv:1512.05369 · score 27)No structure-formation likelihood (Milky Way satellite counts or Lyman-alpha forest) valid for mixed cold+warm non-thermal sterile-neutrino spectra; existing constraints are parameterized in thermal-WDM mass and the paper substitutes an approximate subhalo-abundance estimate.
proposed resolution: Recast a public satellite-count likelihood (DES/PS1-type subhalo abundance) and a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator in terms of the full linear P(k) (e.g. via half-mode scale or area-criterion mapping) so that arbitrary DW-modified transfer functions can be scored directly.
Constrained self-interacting dark matter with dark photon and dark fermions (arXiv:1709.09717 · score 27)No validated Lyman-alpha likelihood or WDM-equivalent mapping exists for this model's oscillatory dark-acoustic-damping transfer function; the paper's satellite-suppression conclusion rests on a qualitative recast.

Cannibal scalar dark matter with 3-to-2 self-interactions (arXiv:2008.08486 · score 27)No Lyman-alpha forest constraint pipeline exists for CanDM: the paper defers the recast, and existing forest likelihoods/emulators are calibrated on WDM-like thermal cutoffs, not the pressure-driven suppression shape from cannibal dynamics (the card flags the WDM mapping as misleading).
proposed resolution: Feed CanDM linear P(k) suppression shapes into an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power framework (e.g. an area-criterion or emulator-based WDM-style analysis extended to general suppression shapes), running a small set of hydrodynamic simulations to validate the mapping for full and ten-percent CanDM fractions.
Self-interacting warm dark matter (arXiv:2108.02657 · score 27)No full Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for SI-WDM: existing Lyman-alpha emulators and likelihoods are calibrated on CDM and thermal-WDM transfer-function shapes, while self-interactions change the cutoff shape (late kinetic coupling, dark acoustic-like features), so the paper's deviation criterion against thermal-WDM bounds cannot yield robust mass/cross-section limits.
proposed resolution: Run a small grid of hydrodynamical simulations (or validated a-la Sherwood rescalings) over representative siwdm-class transfer-function shapes and extend an existing Lyman-alpha emulator/likelihood framework (e.g., a LaCE-style flux-power emulator) to the SI-WDM shape parameters, then derive proper posterior bounds on (m_DM, C_V, C_m).
Two temperature dark matter (2TDM) (arXiv:2112.03993 · score 27)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists for the two-temperature nonthermal transfer-function shape; the card's Ly-alpha bound is a recast against thermal-WDM reference masses (3.5/5.3 keV), which the card itself flags as approximate for two-temperature spectra whose cutoff shape differs from thermal WDM.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Ly-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood framework (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES + XQ-100 grids or a Sherwood-type emulator) to accept general suppressed transfer functions parameterized by (A_2, eta, m_DM) or by shape parameters like the area criterion, and validate against the paper's quoted A_ref thresholds.
Two-component cold dark matter with self-heated light component (arXiv:2312.07660 · score 27)Lyman-alpha constraints exist only as a qualitative argument that thermal-WDM mass bounds are weakened; no dedicated recast maps the model's nonthermal, fraction-and-splitting-controlled suppression onto Lyman-alpha flux-power data.
proposed resolution: Run the model's transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or apply the area-criterion mapping calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations, scanning (r_1, m_1, m_2, sigma_self_1) to replace the qualitative weakened-bound statement with contours.
Light hidden fermion assisted gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1004.4890 · score 26)No mixed warm/cold structure-formation likelihood exists for decay-produced gravitino or hidden-fermion components: the route uses an approximate lambda_FS < 0.5 Mpc proxy instead of a transfer-function-level Lyman-alpha constraint on the warm fraction f_WDM with the nonthermal decay momentum spectrum.
proposed resolution: Derive the nonthermal phase-space distribution f(q) for daughters of two-body LOSP or parent decays at lifetime tau_parent, feed it to CLASS as an ncdm component alongside the cold fraction, and compare against published Lyman-alpha mixed cold+warm fraction bounds or an emulator-based flux-power likelihood.
Two-body decaying dark matter with one massless and one massive daughter (arXiv:1410.0683 · score 26)No dedicated Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for two-body decaying dark matter; current constraints rely on effective mappings of the decay-induced suppression onto emulators trained on LCDM/WDM grids, which is only approximate at the S8-favored (tau, epsilon) values.
proposed resolution: Extend a public Ly-alpha flux-power emulator with hydrodynamical runs using two-body DDM linear spectra from the modified CLASS branch, or validate the existing effective-model compression (arXiv:2210.06117 approach) across the full (tau, epsilon) plane.
Non-thermally produced WIMP dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0009003 · score 26)The Lyman-alpha bound on r_c rests on a visual comparison to a 750 eV thermal-WDM transfer function rather than a modern flux-power likelihood evaluated for the model's actual nonthermal transfer functions, and the dwarf phase-space bound is only an order-of-magnitude estimate.
proposed resolution: Run the model's CLASS-generated transfer functions through an existing public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 or BOSS-based WDM analysis chains) using the standard area-criterion or direct P(k) interface to re-derive the r_c limit.
Interacting hot neutrino dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/9702236 · score 26)The route lists no likelihoods: there is no pipeline comparing the diffusion-damped matter power spectrum to modern large-scale-structure or CMB data, so the phenomenologically allowed lambda_mfp range cannot be quantified.
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS implementation from gap_1 exists, connect it through Cobaya/MontePython to Planck CMB, galaxy power spectrum, and Lyman-alpha 1D flux likelihoods to derive posterior bounds on (m_nu, sigma_nunu or lambda_mfp).
QCD axion dark matter from Peccei-Quinn-field parametric resonance (arXiv:1711.10486 · score 26)No LSS/Lyman-alpha likelihood has been applied to resonance-produced warm axions; the card only has the qualitative v_a < 1e-3 warmness bound, and the constraint con_axion_lss_warmness_recast explicitly lacks a likelihood, so no exclusion curve in (m_S,i, f_a) exists.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated nonthermal spectra into CLASS as an ncdm species, compute transfer functions, and evaluate them against an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the area-criterion or emulator-based WDM pipelines generalized to arbitrary f(p)), producing a warmness exclusion in the model parameters.
Chilled sterile neutrino dark matter from out-of-equilibrium singlet decays (arXiv:0801.3470 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applies to this model: the card's bound is a 2008 SDSS free-streaming comparison (k_fs ~ 2/Mpc), and modern Lyman-alpha constraints and emulators are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions, not the nonthermal out-of-equilibrium singlet-decay cutoff shape.
proposed resolution: Map the model's transfer functions onto existing Lyman-alpha analyses via half-mode or area-criterion matching to thermal-WDM emulators (MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS-based), validated with a small set of hydrodynamic simulations for representative warm out-of-equilibrium spectra.
Preheating dark matter (arXiv:1002.1306 · score 25)No likelihood pipeline exists for the model: the paper only compares spectral shapes qualitatively to WMAP/SDSS/Lyman-alpha data with matter-radiation equality held fixed, so no modern CMB+LSS constraint on (m_phi, lambda) can be produced.
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS implementation of gap_1 exists, couple it to Cobaya or MontePython with the Planck 2018 CMB likelihoods plus a BOSS/eBOSS P(k) or Lyman-alpha likelihood and run an MCMC over (m_phi, lambda, z_T) alongside the standard cosmological parameters.
Equilibrium-scalar freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1609.06739 · score 25)The Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure constraint on the nonthermal N1 spectrum is applied only via an approximate thermal-WDM free-streaming mapping, which the card flags as a proxy; no likelihood ingests the actual nonthermal transfer function.
proposed resolution: Feed f_N1(p) into CLASS as an ncdm species to compute exact linear transfer functions, then evaluate them against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator calibrated for generic suppressed spectra (area-criterion or emulator-based) instead of the half-mode WDM mapping.
Asymmetric dark matter with sterile-neutrino Dark MSW interactions (arXiv:1702.08464 · score 25)No quantitative small-scale-structure likelihood exists for the late DM-sterile-neutrino momentum transfer: the card records likelihood_available no, robustness low, and no forward-model step covers the obs_dm_neutrino_momentum_transfer_small_scales observable, so the (q_s^2 q_X^2, m_A) bound is only a qualitative exclusion statement.
proposed resolution: Implement the A-prime-mediated DM-neutrino momentum-transfer rate as an ETHOS-style dark-matter/dark-radiation coupling in a modified CLASS, compute the suppressed linear power spectra over the (q_s^2 q_X^2, m_A, m_X) space including the model-dependent sterile-sector temperature, and recast Lyman-alpha bounds via an area-criterion or emulator likelihood.
String-axiverse misalignment dark matter parameterization (arXiv:1809.06382 · score 25)No fraction-aware Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or flux-power emulator exists for mixed ultralight-axion dark matter; existing bounds assume the axion is all of the dark matter, while this model's posterior favors Omega_a/Omega_cdm < 1 with log10(m_a/eV) near -21.5.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator with an axion-fraction parameter: run a grid of hydrodynamical simulations initialized with axionCAMB mixed-DM transfer functions over (m_a, Omega_a/Omega_cdm), train the emulator, and package it as a MontePython/Cobaya likelihood.
S3 x Z2 sterile-neutrino dark matter model (arXiv:1912.02294 · score 25)No packaged X-ray-line or structure-formation (Lyman-alpha, satellite-count) likelihood is linked to the card for mapping a nonthermal sterile-neutrino momentum distribution onto exclusions; existing published limits assume standard Dodelson-Widrow-like spectra and would need reinterpretation for this model's colder or warmer f(p).
proposed resolution: Assemble a recasting pipeline that maps arbitrary f(p) to a half-mode-mass or equivalent-thermal-WDM mass via CLASS transfer functions and applies published Lyman-alpha/satellite likelihoods, combined with X-ray line flux limits rescaled by the computed abundance fraction and mixing-driven decay rate.
Non-adiabatically produced gravitational ultra-light scalar dark matter (arXiv:1912.10859 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applicable to this model exists: the quoted XQ-100 plus HIRES/MIKE fuzzy-DM bound assumes standard misalignment-FDM transfer functions, and no flux-power likelihood or emulator accepts the non-adiabatic production distribution's transfer-function shape.
proposed resolution: Recast the XQ-100 plus HIRES/MIKE flux-power likelihood using an existing Lyman-alpha emulator conditioned on the linear transfer function (marginalizing IGM thermal history), mapping this model's suppression scale onto the emulator's cutoff parameterization and checking the mapping's validity against a small set of hydrodynamical simulations.
Conformal GUT hidden-sector inert dark fermion dark matter (arXiv:2004.02921 · score 25)The Lyman-alpha constraint is applied only as a lambda_fs < 1 Mpc coldness threshold; there is no transfer-function-level calculation or likelihood for the model's nonthermal dark-fermion momentum distribution, whose transfer_function_shape the card marks unknown.
proposed resolution: Feed the nonthermal f(p) from the inflaton-decay Boltzmann solution into CLASS as a non-cold-DM species, compute the linear transfer function, and constrain it with an existing Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator (e.g. the WDM half-mode area criterion or a MIKE/HIRES-calibrated flux-power emulator).
Dark matter vortex filament model (arXiv:2111.03061 · score 25)No dedicated recast likelihood links the ultralight mass m implied by any chosen interpretation of the N_V/m fit to Lyman-alpha and halo/subhalo structure bounds, particularly in the subcomponent or self-interacting-condensate regimes where published all-DM fuzzy bounds do not directly apply.
proposed resolution: Recast existing Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints (using public WDM/FDM emulators or the axionCAMB transfer functions mapped through a calibrated flux-power emulator) and Milky Way satellite/subhalo likelihoods into a joint likelihood over (m, dark matter fraction, g), covering the mixed cold-plus-ultralight case.
Asymptotic-safety sterile-neutrino freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2204.00866 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha (or combined structure/X-ray) likelihood exists for a sub-MeV sterile neutrino with a scalar-decay nonthermal spectrum; published bounds assume Dodelson-Widrow or thermal-WDM spectra and the card marks the constraint as recast_required with no likelihood.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_N(p) into CLASS/CAMB as an ncdm species to obtain transfer functions, then recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via an existing WDM emulator or half-mode/area-criterion mapping, and rescale published X-ray line limits by the model's actual abundance-mixing relation.
Spinning-PBH evaporation Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:2212.00775 · score 25)No warm-DM structure-formation likelihood exists for the Hawking-emitted phase-space distribution: the card notes lighter evaporation-produced particles need a distribution check before Lyman-alpha-like limits apply, but no released chain converts the FRISBHEE/BlackHawk emission spectrum into a transfer function and small-scale bound in the (M_PBH, a_star, m_chi) plane.
proposed resolution: Extract the redshifted Hawking phase-space distribution f(q) for Kerr PBHs from BlackHawk/FRISBHEE, feed it into CLASS as a non-cold ncdm species to obtain the transfer function, and recast published Lyman-alpha WDM mass bounds onto the (M_PBH, a_star, m_chi) parameter space.
Multi-ultralight-axion mixed dark matter (arXiv:2303.00999 · score 25)No public Lyman-alpha likelihood or recast exists for multi-ULA transfer-function shapes; the cited 2e-20 eV bound assumes all-DM single-ULA spectra and the card marks likelihood availability unknown with recasting needed, while the WDM mapping is explicitly warned to be inaccurate.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. hydrodynamic-simulation-based emulators used for WDM/ULA bounds) onto the multi-ULA transfer-function parameter space (m_i, f_i, m_r), rather than relying on approximate WDM-equivalent masses.
Coherent-incoherent self-interacting bosonic dark matter framework (arXiv:2303.02049 · score 25)No likelihood exists for confronting the hybrid transfer function with data: standard one-component FDM Lyman-alpha boson-mass bounds cannot be applied without mapping the full hybrid transfer function, and no dwarf-galaxy/core likelihood is packaged.
proposed resolution: Recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints by feeding the hybrid model's transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha emulator/likelihood pipeline over the (m, g, condensate fraction) space, and build an analogous recast of soliton-core and dwarf-galaxy density-profile constraints.
Hidden axion dark matter from saxion decay (arXiv:2304.07462 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood is attached to the route (likelihood_available 'no' for con_lya_free_streaming_axion), so even with a transfer function the constraint can only be imposed through the crude L_fs < 0.1 Mpc criterion or a borrowed thermal-equivalent 5.3 keV bound.
proposed resolution: Interface the computed nonthermal transfer functions with an existing XQ-100 plus HIRES/MIKE flux-power likelihood or a Lyman-alpha emulator, or at minimum implement the published area-criterion recast that maps generic suppressed transfer functions onto the thermal-WDM exclusion.
Minimal clockwork neutrinogenesis scalar dark-sector subcomponent (arXiv:2310.09640 · score 25)Existing Lyman-alpha and CMB/LSS mixed hot-DM likelihoods are calibrated for thermal (WDM-like or massive-neutrino-like) spectra and no recast exists that bounds f_hot for this model's nonthermal secluded distribution.
proposed resolution: Map the model's transfer functions onto existing mixed cold-plus-hot constraints by matching suppression templates, or rerun a Lyman-alpha emulator-based likelihood on a grid of (m_phi, dark temperature, f_hot) to produce a reusable f_hot bound.
Intermediate-mass pseudo-Goldstone boson partial dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0509257 · score 25)The m_I-f_I exclusion rests on a 2001-era WMAP + SDSS + Lyman-alpha + sigma8 combination; no modern CMB and galaxy-clustering likelihood analysis of the fractional intermediate-mass PGB exists, so current limits on f_I cannot be quoted.
proposed resolution: Run axionCAMB or AxiCLASS for the (m_I, f_I) grid inside Cobaya/MontePython with Planck 2018, BAO, and DESI/eBOSS full-shape likelihoods, validating against the paper's historical below-ten-percent bound in the intermediate window.
Frozen-in scalar decay production of keV sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1306.3996 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for decay-produced nonthermal sterile-neutrino spectra: published warm-dark-matter Lyman-alpha bounds are calibrated on thermal-relic transfer functions, so the model's smooth-cutoff transfer function cannot be robustly confronted with forest data (the card itself notes transfer functions are more reliable than free-streaming estimates).
proposed resolution: Map the CLASS transfer functions for f_N1(p) onto a generalized cutoff parameterization (e.g. the {alpha, beta, gamma} thermal-relic-equivalent scheme) and evaluate them with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (Sherwood- or eBOSS-calibrated), instead of the half-mode area estimate.
Plateau-potential string axion ultralight dark matter (arXiv:1710.00305 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or emulator is calibrated for transfer functions with resonance-enhanced power just below the fuzzy-DM Jeans scale; existing products are built for monotonic suppression shapes, so the claimed relaxation of the Lyman-alpha tension cannot be quantitatively tested.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator (e.g. one built on suppressed-power hydrodynamical grids) with hydrodynamical simulations of bump-plus-cutoff initial power spectra parameterized by (cutoff scale, bump amplitude, bump width), and expose it as a likelihood over (m, alpha, x_osc, omega_ULA).
Cosh-potential scalar-field dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0004332 · score 24)Neither card constraint has a likelihood (likelihood_available: no for both): there is no pipeline recasting modern Lyman-alpha, satellite-count, or rotation-curve data onto the cosh-potential parameter space, so current viability rests on historical order-of-magnitude arguments.
proposed resolution: Map the cosh model onto the standard ULDM/FDM (m_phi, transfer-function) parameterization using the gap_1 solver output, then reuse published Lyman-alpha flux-power and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods for FDM, adding a rotation-curve core comparison for the r_c prediction.
Scalar-mediated self-interacting sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2307.15565 · score 24)Lyman-alpha constraints are applied only through a conservative v_rms-to-thermal-WDM proxy (m_WDM > 1.9 keV screen); no likelihood evaluates the actual nonthermal, self-interaction-reshaped momentum distribution, whose spectral shape can shift the bound.
proposed resolution: Feed the model f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold relic to obtain the linear transfer function, then apply an area-criterion mapping or a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator likelihood calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations to replace the v_rms proxy.
keV sterile-neutrino warm dark matter with radiative decay (arXiv:0710.5431 · score 24)No packaged joint likelihood exists for the combined structure-formation and X-ray-decay viability constraint: Lyman-alpha bounds are calibrated for thermal WDM or oscillation-produced sterile neutrinos, not for this card's production-dependent spectra, and no single likelihood combines them with radiative-decay X-ray limits (con_0710_wdm_xray_structure_bounds: likelihood_available partial, recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Recast the production-specific transfer functions (gap_1) through existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulators/likelihoods, combine with published X-ray line-search limits (XMM/Chandra/NuSTAR blank-sky) on (m_s, theta), and release the joint likelihood over (m_s, theta, f_s, production mechanism).
Chilled sterile neutrino dark matter from in-equilibrium singlet decays (arXiv:0801.3470 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applies to this model: the card's bound is a 2008 SDSS free-streaming comparison (k_fs ~ 2/Mpc), and modern Lyman-alpha constraints and emulators are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions rather than the colder nonthermal singlet-decay cutoff shape.
proposed resolution: Map the model's transfer functions onto existing Lyman-alpha analyses via the area-criterion or half-mode matching to thermal-WDM emulators (MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS-based), and validate the mapping with a small set of hydrodynamic simulations for representative chilled spectra.

Decaying scalar CDM to dark radiation (arXiv:1205.0553 · score 24)The scalar-oscillation timing condition (oscillation onset T_osc ~ 100 eV before matter-radiation equality) is only checked against Lyman-alpha/SDSS matter-power bounds by rough analytic recasting; no quantitative matter-power or Lyman-alpha likelihood evaluation exists for the late-oscillating scalar CDM realization.
proposed resolution: Compute the linear matter power spectrum for the late-oscillating scalar (axion-like suppression scale set by m_phi and T_osc, e.g. with axionCAMB-style fluid equations added to the modified CLASS) and confront it with a public Lyman-alpha flux-power compressed likelihood or emulator to turn the timing condition into a quantitative bound on m_phi and T_osc.
Dodelson-Widrow sterile-neutrino WDM spectrum model (arXiv:1308.1109 · score 24)No machine-readable Lyman-alpha or linear-structure likelihood exists that accepts the full Dodelson-Widrow non-thermal transfer function; published WDM limits assume thermal-relic spectra and the card says both constraints require recasting with no resolved likelihood.

Large Volume Scenario string ultralight axion (arXiv:1703.07779 · score 24)No likelihood connects the model's fuzzy-DM transfer function to small-scale-structure data: the route lists empty likelihoods and the card states that Lyman-alpha, black-hole superradiance, and CMB isocurvature likelihoods were not evaluated for this m_a-F window.

Hidden-sector glueball dark matter in a late-modulus low-reheat cosmology (arXiv:1704.01804 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is supplied for this model (the card states this explicitly); the velocity bound is only approximate, so viable-region boundaries in (Lambda, m_X, T_RH) cannot be given statistical weight.

Thermal dark matter through the Dirac neutrino portal (arXiv:1709.07001 · score 24)No joint likelihood combines the direct-detection, rare-decay, N_eff/BBN, and small-scale-structure probes; the card's global_overlay step is a conservative curve overlay, and the M_cut-to-satellite/Lyman-alpha mapping is explicitly approximate.

Anomaly-free ALP inflaton dark matter for the XENON1T excess (arXiv:2007.10311 · score 24)The warm-DM constraint on the keV thermal ALP is only an order-of-magnitude mapping to sterile-neutrino bounds; no Lyman-alpha or small-scale-structure likelihood exists for a mixed cold-plus-warm scenario with a subdominant (1-100 percent) thermal ALP fraction and its actual momentum distribution.

proposed resolution: Feed the model's f_s(E,T) into CLASS as a tabulated ncdm phase-space distribution for the sterile fraction, compute the suppressed matter power spectrum, and constrain with existing Lyman-alpha forest likelihoods/emulators and CMB hot-dark-matter bounds.
Two-24 type III GMSB gravitino warm dark matter variant (arXiv:0807.4524 · score 24)No structure-formation likelihood is attached to the warm-gravitino cutoff: con_wdm_phase_space_recast is a recast flag only, with no implemented mapping to Lyman-alpha, Milky Way satellite, or lensing constraints for this model.
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function exists, map its half-mode scale to an equivalent thermal WDM mass and apply published Lyman-alpha forest and satellite-count WDM likelihoods (or Lyman-alpha flux-power emulators) to the m_3/2-T_R plane.
Super-weak U(1) sterile neutrino dark matter (freeze-in variant) (arXiv:2104.11248 · score 24)No likelihood or recast pipeline connects this model to Chandra/NuSTAR X-ray line limits (for nonzero active-sterile mixing) or to Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure data for its specific nonthermal spectrum; the card marks likelihood_available 'unknown' for both recast constraints.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast layer that maps (M_1, theta) onto published Chandra/NuSTAR line-flux limits and maps the freeze-in transfer function (once gap_1 is closed) onto existing Lyman-alpha WDM-style likelihoods or emulators via the standard m_WDM-equivalent matching.
Electroweak axion mixed fuzzy and cold dark matter (arXiv:2211.15967 · score 24)No simulation-calibrated small-scale structure likelihood exists for a mixed fuzzy+cold scenario with m_A ~ 10^-20-10^-19 eV and free axion fraction Omega_A/Omega_DM: existing fuzzy-DM bounds mostly assume 100 percent ULA dark matter, so the card's fractional suppression observable cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Compute linear mixed fuzzy+cold transfer functions with axionCAMB/AxiCLASS over (m_A, axion fraction), calibrate the nonlinear cutoff with mixed-DM fuzzy simulations (e.g. AxioNyx-type runs with a CDM component), and recast Lyman-alpha flux-power and Milky Way subhalo/stellar-stream likelihoods onto the fraction-mass plane.
Ghost dark matter (arXiv:1001.4634 · score 23)The M >= 10 eV bound rests on a qualitative no-suppression argument at k/h ~ 1 Mpc^-1; no likelihood pipeline exists to constrain the model's distinctive power-law (non-exponential, non-WDM) suppression with modern P(k), shear, and Lyman-alpha data.
proposed resolution: Couple the modified CLASS output to existing Cobaya/MontePython matter-power and shear likelihoods and add a Lyman-alpha flux-power recast valid for power-law suppression shapes, yielding a statistically defined M lower bound in place of the by-eye estimate.
U(1)_B-L right-handed-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1104.2384 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for this model's non-thermal, entropy-diluted keV RHN spectrum; the adopted M_1 > 1.6 keV bound is inherited from older thermal-WDM literature and cannot be updated without a distribution-specific recast.
proposed resolution: Map the model's transfer function onto modern Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints using an existing thermal-WDM emulator via half-mode-mass or area-criterion matching, or run the transfer function through a public Lyman-alpha likelihood (e.g. MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS-based) directly.
Degenerate free-fermion dark matter with inflaton-decay production (arXiv:1409.3167 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha (or equivalent small-scale structure) likelihood has been applied to the model's nonthermal cutoff; existing Ly-alpha emulators and bounds are calibrated on thermal-relic WDM transfer functions, not decay-produced spectra.
proposed resolution: Map the CLASS-computed nonthermal transfer function onto the thermal-WDM equivalent via half-mode mass matching and evaluate against a public Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood/emulator, validating the mapping for the peaked decay spectrum.
Non-canonical scalar unified dark matter-dark energy model (arXiv:1510.09010 · score 23)No likelihood recast exists for the model: background-plus-perturbation constraints on (alpha, Omega_0X) have never been run against SNe/BAO/CMB/matter-power data, and small-scale limits are borrowed from thermal WDM transfer functions whose shape differs from a constant-sound-speed suppression.
proposed resolution: Couple the CLASS implementation to Cobaya/MontePython with Planck, BAO, and SNe likelihoods, and add a Lyman-alpha/galaxy-clustering matter-power likelihood evaluated on the model's own transfer function instead of the WDM-mass analogy.
Radiative neutrino-mass model with neutrino-interacting MeV dark matter (arXiv:1512.08796 · score 23)No small-scale structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite counts) is applicable to the damped dark-acoustic-oscillation transfer functions produced by DM-neutrino scattering; existing bounds are parameterized for thermal-WDM-like smooth cutoffs, yet the card states the matter power spectrum gives the stronger constraint on sigma_el.
proposed resolution: Recast a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator and a public satellite-count likelihood in terms of the full linear P(k) (area-criterion or half-mode mapping validated against interacting-DM simulations) so oscillatory suppressed spectra from the modified CLASS run can be scored directly.
Gauge B-L radiative neutrino mass multipartite dark matter (arXiv:1605.00991 · score 23)No reusable likelihood exists for a mixed cold-plus-warm scenario with a fraction-dependent keV component: public Lyman-alpha and X-ray constraints are calibrated for pure thermal WDM or 100% sterile-neutrino dark matter, not for a subdominant warm fraction alongside cold B-L singlets.
proposed resolution: Compute mixed C+WDM transfer functions with CLASS using the derived S prime f(p), and interface them with a fraction-aware Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator (extending existing mixed cold+warm forest analyses) plus X-ray decay limits rescaled by the S prime relic fraction and mixing angle.
Axionlike-particle dark matter produced by primordial magnetic fields (arXiv:1702.03928 · score 23)No likelihood exists for the hot/warm ALP fraction bound: the card records likelihood_available no/unknown for both constraints and notes the exact excluded contours require reproducing the paper's figures, so the structure-suppression exclusion cannot be evaluated quantitatively for a mixed cold-plus-warm ALP population.
proposed resolution: Recast existing mixed cold+warm dark matter Lyman-alpha constraints (Murgia-style area criterion or a mixed C+WDM emulator) onto the (Omega_ALP/Omega_DM, lambda_FS) plane using the transfer functions from the tabulated f(p), and digitize the paper's exclusion contours as a validation target.
General interacting dark sector with dark matter and dark radiation (arXiv:1708.09406 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha or full-shape P(k) likelihood accepts the IDS suppression shape directly; the card warns the shape differs from step-like thermal-WDM mappings (thermal_wdm_mapping available: false), so small-scale constraints on Gamma_0 and f are only approximate recasts.
proposed resolution: Interface the IDS linear T^2(k) to a shape-agnostic Lyman-alpha likelihood/emulator (area-criterion or lym1d-style) and to full-shape galaxy power-spectrum likelihoods, rather than mapping through thermal-WDM equivalent masses.
Fuzzy dark fluid unified scalar (arXiv:2007.05376 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha forest or halo-structure likelihood is connected to the model's small-scale predictions; the card explicitly keeps fuzzy-DM mass limits as context because the comparison step is unimplemented.
proposed resolution: Once the model transfer function is available (gap_3), recast it through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood built for FDM/WDM suppression, and add dwarf-galaxy core-size and rotation-curve comparisons for the soliton predictions.
Thermal-misalignment scalar dark matter (arXiv:2109.04476 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is attached to the model: the fuzzy-DM constraint is applied only as the quoted m_phi > 2e-21 eV threshold rather than a proper flux-power likelihood evaluated for this scalar.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing public fuzzy-DM Lyman-alpha analysis (e.g. an emulator-based forest flux-power likelihood) onto the model's (m_phi, y) plane using the transfer functions from the axionCAMB/AxiCLASS computation.
FIMP dark matter from flavon portals (arXiv:2305.03167 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha likelihood applicable to decay-produced FIMP spectra; the card's constraint is a quoted thermal-WDM-style mass bound (m > ~15 keV) with only an approximate mapping, and no thermal-WDM mapping is validated for this model.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's CLASS transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or the area-criterion method calibrated on non-thermal spectra, producing exclusion contours in (n, m_chi, M_S) rather than a borrowed thermal-WDM mass bound.
Dark-quark-nugget dark binaries with a long-range dark force (arXiv:2312.13378 · score 22)No packaged likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints: the SGWB detector comparison, the pre-recombination Delta N_eff bound (which requires the recombination-cutoff integration the paper warns about), and the macroscopic-DM microlensing/accretion/Lyman-alpha abundance bounds exist only as plotted or externally published curves, not machine-readable products.
proposed resolution: Assemble a likelihood package that combines digitized f(M) macroscopic-DM exclusion curves (microlensing, accretion, dwarf-galaxy star survival, Lyman-alpha), public PTA/LISA/ground-based sensitivity curves, and a Delta N_eff module that integrates Omega_GW plus dark-force radiation only up to recombination, exposed as a function of (M, f, alpha).
Dark population transfer sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2402.13878 · score 22)The small-scale-structure constraint is applied only via a rescaled thermal-relic mass bound (9.7 keV, times a T_DS/T_SM momentum argument); no model-specific transfer function, half-mode mass, or Lyman-alpha/subhalo likelihood exists for the colder internally thermalized N2 spectrum.
proposed resolution: Compute the N2 distribution f(q) with temperature T_DS from the transfer solver, run it through CLASS as an ncdm species to get the linear transfer function over the (m_N2, T_DS/T_SM) plane, and recast against existing Lyman-alpha flux-power and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods.
Axionic mirage mediation axino dark matter (arXiv:0803.3725 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is packaged for this nonthermal cutoff: the card marks likelihood_available as partial and recasting_needed yes, and thermal-WDM mass limits cannot be copied directly onto the decay-produced spectrum.
proposed resolution: Recast the model transfer function through an existing generalized small-scale-suppression Lyman-alpha framework (e.g. the alpha-beta-gamma transfer-function parameterization fits used for non-thermal WDM), producing exclusion contours in (m_axino, decay time).
Resonantly produced 7 keV sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1403.0954 · score 22)Lyman-alpha and Local Group structure constraints are only partially available and are applied through approximate thermal-WDM mass mappings, which the card flags as invalid for the resonant transfer-function shape (benchmarks should be tested with the exact nonthermal transfer function).
proposed resolution: Recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints using an emulator trained on shape-varying (non-thermal) cutoffs fed the exact CLASS transfer functions for each L_4, instead of quoting a single thermal-WDM equivalent mass.
U(1)_R lepton-number model with keV sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1411.1525 · score 22)Structure-formation constraints beyond the analytic phase-space floor are not applicable yet: Lyman-alpha limits were not applied, and existing Lyman-alpha emulators are calibrated for thermal-relic WDM, not for this model's (currently unknown) nonthermal sterile-neutrino distribution.
proposed resolution: Once f(p) is derived (gap_1), map the resulting transfer function to an equivalent thermal-WDM mass via half-mode matching and apply published Lyman-alpha thermal-WDM likelihoods/emulators, validating the mapping for the nonthermal shape.
Higgs-singlet higher-dimensional-operator ultralight axion (arXiv:1703.07779 · score 22)No observational likelihoods are implemented for this model's (m_a, F, axion fraction) space: the card lists an empty likelihoods array and its caveats flag Lyman-alpha, black-hole superradiance, and CMB isocurvature constraints as needing external likelihood work.
proposed resolution: Assemble a constraint module over (m_a, F, Omega_a fraction): recast published fuzzy-DM Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via axionCAMB/axiCLASS transfer functions, add black-hole superradiance exclusion bands in m_a, and evaluate CMB isocurvature bounds for the F ~ 1e16-1e18 GeV misalignment scenario.
Supersymmetric instanton-generated ultralight axion (arXiv:1703.07779 · score 22)No likelihood connects the instanton-axion transfer function to small-scale-structure data: the route's likelihoods list is empty and the card states Lyman-alpha, superradiance, and CMB isocurvature likelihoods were not evaluated for the targeted m_a-F window.
proposed resolution: Couple axionCAMB/AxiCLASS transfer functions, parameterized by (m_a, axion fraction), to existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulators and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, and impose published superradiance and isocurvature exclusion curves as priors on (m_a, F).
Light asymmetric Bose gas dark matter with present-day condensate (arXiv:1709.00436 · score 22)The Lyman-alpha lower-mass bound near 10^-20 eV is quoted from debated external literature (likelihood_available: unknown, recasting_needed: yes); no dedicated Lyman-alpha likelihood recast exists for the condensed conserved-charge scenario, so ultralight allowed regions cannot be marked robust.
proposed resolution: Once model transfer functions exist (gap_1), recast them through a public Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/compressed likelihood calibrated for suppressed-power cosmologies to derive a model-specific ultralight mass bound replacing the debated literature value.
Dark glueballs with associated ultralight axion dark matter (arXiv:1805.06011 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for a mixed cosmology in which an ultralight axion (m_a ~ 1e-23 to 1e-21 eV) is only a fraction of the dark matter with the rest in cold glueballs; existing FDM bounds assume a 100 percent fuzzy component and the card notes the literature disagrees even on those.
proposed resolution: Extend axionCAMB to two-component (ULA fraction plus CDM-like glueball) linear power spectra and run or emulate hydrodynamical Lyman-alpha forest simulations over (m_a, Omega_a/Omega_DM), building a flux-power likelihood analogous to existing WDM/FDM forest analyses.
Leptophilic light flavon hot-relic model (arXiv:1812.10963 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha or small-scale-structure likelihood exists for a subdominant hot flavon fraction: the paper's order-one-percent hot-relic criterion is an estimate, and published mixed cold+hot bounds are calibrated for thermal non-cold species, not this model's freeze-out/freeze-in mixture.
proposed resolution: Recast mixed cold+hot dark matter Lyman-alpha constraints (e.g. the 1702.01764-style f_ncdm bounds or a Lyman-alpha flux emulator) onto the (f_eta, m_eta) plane using the model's transfer functions, replacing the one-percent rule of thumb with a proper likelihood.
Self-interacting sterile-neutrino dark matter with heavy scalar mediator (arXiv:1903.08296 · score 22)No packaged X-ray line or structure (phase-space, subhalo, Lyman-alpha, reionization) likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal momentum distribution, which differs from both Dodelson-Widrow and thermal spectra; current constraints are overlaid exclusion curves derived for other spectra.
proposed resolution: Build a recast pipeline that takes the solver output f_s(p), computes the transfer function with CLASS using a tabulated non-cold distribution, and applies Lyman-alpha emulator and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, plus a digitized X-ray line likelihood in the (m_s, theta) plane.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with scalar-mediated neutrino NSI (arXiv:2111.04087 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for the model's nonthermal, cosmology-dependent momentum distributions; the paper explicitly omits plotted Lyman-alpha exclusions because standard thermal-WDM mass bounds do not map directly onto NSI-modified spectra.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold-dark-matter species to obtain T(k), then apply an area-criterion or emulator-based Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. built on existing WDM/sterile-neutrino forest analyses) valid for general suppressed spectra.
Multifield ultralight dark matter (arXiv:2301.07114 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or flux-power emulator is calibrated for multifield/fractional ULDM suppression shapes; the published m_a > 2e-20 eV bound applies only to canonical single-field all-of-DM axions and cannot be applied to N-field mixtures directly.
proposed resolution: Recalibrate a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator on hydrodynamic simulations initialized with multifield ULA transfer functions (spanning N, mass ratios, and fractions), or recast the existing single-field likelihood via a matched-suppression mapping validated against a few dedicated hydro runs.
Mixed collisionless dark matter free-streaming model (arXiv:0711.0470 · score 22)No small-scale-structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha forest, satellite counts, or strong-lensing subhalos) is valid for general mixed cold+warm transfer-function shapes; published bounds assume a single thermal-WDM cutoff and the card warns against substituting a thermal relic mapping for these nonthermal mixtures.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing satellite-count likelihood and a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator onto a general transfer-function parameterization (e.g. the alpha-beta-gamma fitting form) so mixed-model transfer functions from gap_1 can be scored directly, instead of through an invalid thermal-WDM mass mapping.
Scalar-decay sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0807.0646 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is packaged that accepts the scalar-decay transfer functions: the claimed relief of the X-ray versus Lyman-alpha tension from the low-momentum-enhanced spectrum cannot be tested because only thermal-relic comparisons and old literature bounds are available (likelihood_available: no).
proposed resolution: Run the model T(k) through a modern public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-class) using the exact nonthermal spectrum rather than a thermal-equivalent mass, delivering a likelihood over (m_s, M, Y, T_dec).
Vector dark matter freeze-in through magnetic dipole interactions (arXiv:2210.06487 · score 22)Lyman-alpha, strong-lensing, and Milky Way satellite constraints are calibrated for thermal WDM transfer functions, and no validated recast exists for the nonthermal magnetic-dipole freeze-in momentum distribution (UV-dominated production near T_RH), so the warm-structure bound on (m_Aprime, d_f, T_RH) is only approximate.
proposed resolution: Compute the freeze-in f(p) from the dipole collision term, implement it in the CLASS ncdm sector to obtain the transfer function, and map to existing thermal-WDM-calibrated likelihoods via a half-mode-mass or area-criterion matching validated against a Lyman-alpha flux emulator; report where the shape mismatch invalidates the mapping.
Nonthermal decay-produced dark matter for the Hubble tension (arXiv:2211.14345 · score 22)No structure-formation likelihood exists for the hot fraction f: the limit f ~ 0.01 is an order-of-magnitude argument, with no transfer-function-based galaxy-clustering or Lyman-alpha likelihood computed for the decay-produced daughter velocity distribution.
proposed resolution: Using the extended Boltzmann solver from gap_1, compute P(k) suppression versus (f, k_fs) and confront it with galaxy power spectra at k = 0.02-0.2 h/Mpc and existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator constraints, recasting mixed cold+hot DM bounds onto (tau, f, mass ratio).
Spin-zero no-freeze-in/no-freeze-out warm dark matter (arXiv:2308.10356 · score 22)Published Lyman-alpha forest limits apply only to thermal-relic WDM; no Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator accepts the colder no-freeze-in/no-freeze-out transfer function, so the translated limit rests on an approximate temperature-ratio rescaling.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. the Vid-Irsic-style or PRIYA/Sherwood-based WDM emulators) in terms of generic transfer-function suppression parameters (alpha, beta, gamma or half-mode scale) and evaluate it on the model's exact transfer function from gap_1.
Approximate-PQ electroweak supersymmetry with singlino LSP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0405109 · score 22)The warm-DM bound on the singlino rests on a WMAP-era reionization argument (m_s > ~10 keV); no modern Lyman-alpha or Milky Way satellite likelihood has been applied to the model's nonthermal, entropy-diluted transfer function.
proposed resolution: Feed the diluted singlino f(p) from gap_2 into CLASS to obtain T(k), then constrain it with public Lyman-alpha flux-power emulators and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, mapping the result back to (m_s, D) instead of the obsolete 10 keV estimate.
Inert-Sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0912.2478 · score 21)The Lyman-alpha bound exists only as a thermal/conventional sterile-neutrino equivalent mass limit (m_s > 2.0 keV), and the card flags that no valid thermal-WDM mapping exists for this nonthermal decay-produced spectrum, so no likelihood can be applied to warm benchmarks.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's computed transfer functions through a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or the area-criterion method calibrated on WDM hydrodynamic simulations, producing a bound directly in (M1, m_eta_L, T_decay) space instead of a thermal-equivalent mass substitution.
R-parity violating axino warm dark matter (arXiv:1403.1782 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha likelihood has been run for the 7 keV axino's nonthermal transfer function (likelihood listed as unavailable, recast required), so the reported tension of thermal-bath 7 keV axinos with Ly-alpha data cannot be quantified for this model's actual production history.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f_axino(q) into CLASS, compute T(k), and evaluate it against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood/emulator that accepts general cutoff shapes rather than a single thermal-WDM mass.
Dark-atom self-interacting dark matter with dark acoustic oscillations (arXiv:1405.2075 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood valid for oscillatory DAO spectra: existing Ly-alpha analyses and emulators are built on smooth thermal-WDM-like cutoffs, and the card flags that mapping them onto the dark-atom transfer functions without dedicated hydrodynamical modeling can misclassify the benchmarks.
proposed resolution: Train an extended Ly-alpha flux-power emulator on hydrodynamical simulations that include oscillatory DAO initial power spectra (parameterized by r_DAO, damping scale, and interacting fraction), marginalizing over IGM thermal history and feedback, and release it as a likelihood usable on the benchmark spectra.
Many-body decaying dark matter with relativistic daughters (arXiv:1410.0683 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha or weak-lensing likelihood covers the many-body decay's late-time scale-dependent suppression; existing Ly-alpha emulators are calibrated on LCDM/WDM-like power spectra and the related-work constraints (arXiv:2210.06117-style) apply to two-body kinematics only.
proposed resolution: Validate an effective-parameter compression (amplitude and redshift of power suppression) of the many-body model against an existing Ly-alpha flux-power emulator, or retrain the emulator on hydro/N-body runs with the many-body linear input spectra.
Non-thermal fermionic dark matter in an anomaly-free B-L extension (arXiv:1612.02793 · score 21)There is no pipeline from the nonthermal distribution f_psi1(p) to a proper structure-formation likelihood: the coldness verdict rests on a lambda_fs threshold proxy rather than a transfer function confronted with Lyman-alpha (or CMB) data, so borderline-warm parameter regions cannot be judged.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f_psi1(p) into CLASS as a non-cold relic (ncdm with a tabulated phase-space distribution) to compute the linear transfer function, then recast against a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or WDM-style emulator to obtain fraction- and spectrum-dependent bounds.
Stable fermion dark matter from decays of gravitationally produced superheavy particles (arXiv:2006.02225 · score 21)No small-scale structure likelihood recast exists for this model: the coldness requirement is a heuristic threshold, and no Lyman-alpha forest or satellite-count constraint has been mapped onto the (m_chi, m_S, y) parameter space.
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function from gap_1 is available, recast existing Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints (via half-mode-mass matching to warm-dark-matter limits or a public flux-power emulator) and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods into a lower bound on y as a function of m_chi and m_S, replacing the 1 keV coldness heuristic.
Gravitational-genesis two-component dark matter (arXiv:2110.14660 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha or small-scale-structure likelihood exists for this mixed cold (PBH relic) plus warm (evaporation-produced particle) dark matter scenario; the route explicitly lists the Lyman-alpha recast as unavailable.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed mixed C+W transfer functions onto published Lyman-alpha WDM bounds using an area-criterion or half-mode matching for the warm fraction (following existing mixed cold+warm DM Lyman-alpha analyses), or run the transfer functions through a public Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator with a warm-fraction parameterization.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with B-L vector NSI (arXiv:2111.04087 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for the model's nonthermal, cosmology-dependent momentum distributions; the paper explicitly omits plotted Lyman-alpha exclusions because standard thermal-WDM mass bounds do not map directly onto NSI-modified spectra.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold-dark-matter species to obtain T(k), then apply an area-criterion or emulator-based Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. built on existing WDM/sterile-neutrino forest analyses) valid for general suppressed spectra.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with neutrinophilic vector NSI (arXiv:2111.04087 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for the model's nonthermal, cosmology-dependent momentum distributions; the paper explicitly omits plotted Lyman-alpha exclusions because standard thermal-WDM mass bounds do not map directly onto NSI-modified spectra.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold-dark-matter species to obtain T(k), then apply an area-criterion or emulator-based Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. built on existing WDM/sterile-neutrino forest analyses) valid for general suppressed spectra.
Kerr primordial-black-hole evaporated non-cold dark matter (arXiv:2207.09462 · score 21)No end-to-end likelihood evaluation exists for the PBH-emitted non-cold spectra: the Lyman-alpha constraint is imposed by matching the CLASS transfer-function cutoff to thermal-WDM reference bounds rather than evaluating the actual T(k) in a Lyman-alpha likelihood, and the BBN/CMB Delta N_eff limits are taken from review tables instead of being recomputed for each (M_in, a_star, beta_prime) point.
proposed resolution: Fit the FRISBHEE+CLASS transfer functions to the standard {alpha, beta, gamma} non-cold parameterization and reuse published Lyman-alpha MCMC posteriors on that space, and wire Delta N_eff and evaporation-epoch outputs into a Planck lite plus BBN (PArthENoPE/PRIMAT-style) likelihood, packaged as a scan over (M_in, a_star, beta_prime, m_DM, s_DM).
Sterile neutrino dark matter from matter-antimatter separation at the QCD phase transition (arXiv:2309.13376 · score 21)No pipeline turns the domain-produced nonthermal spectrum f_N(p) into a linear transfer function and Lyman-alpha likelihood; the card explicitly warns that using a thermal or Dodelson-Widrow proxy spectrum would misstate the model.
proposed resolution: Pass the computed f_N(p) into CLASS as a tabulated ncdm distribution to obtain transfer functions, then recast against Lyman-alpha flux-power data via an emulator-based likelihood covering mixed cold-plus-warm and cool resonant spectra.
Self-interacting warm dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0003046 · score 21)No likelihood exists that constrains the SI-WDM shifted cutoff against modern small-scale data: the card provides no thermal-WDM mapping, so standard Lyman-alpha and Milky Way satellite bounds calibrated on collisionless-WDM transfer-function shapes cannot be applied directly.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed SI-WDM transfer functions through a shape-agnostic Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator (or the half-mode/area criterion validated against hydrodynamic simulations) and through subhalo/satellite-count likelihoods parameterized by the full T(k) rather than a thermal WDM mass.
Nonthermal sterile neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0511630 · score 21)No ready-to-run Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or emulator is interfaced to the nonthermal sterile-neutrino transfer function; the card's mass bound relies on an approximate thermal-WDM mapping that the paper itself warns against for this spectrally distorted distribution.
proposed resolution: Compute T(k) from the tabulated f_s(p) with CLASS ncdm and feed it to a public compressed Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES style), replacing the thermal-relic-equivalent mapping with a direct nonthermal recast.
Bolon coupled dark matter from dilatation anomaly (arXiv:1012.1175 · score 20)No bolon-specific likelihood exists and the generic interacting-DE and scalar-DM Jeans constraints cited by the card apply only after an unperformed recast of (alpha, beta, lambda, chi_0) onto phenomenological coupling Q and transfer-function-cutoff parameters.
proposed resolution: Once the modified solver exists, run it inside MontePython/Cobaya against public Planck, BAO, SNIa, and growth likelihoods, and map the predicted small-scale cutoff to WDM-style half-mode-mass bounds from Milky Way satellite counts and Lyman-alpha data.
Dodelson-Widrow sterile-neutrino WDM halo model (arXiv:1109.6291 · score 20)No Lyman-alpha flux-power or weak-lensing/substructure likelihood is connected to the DW sterile-neutrino transfer function; existing limits were quoted from thermal-relic analyses without rerunning likelihoods or IGM thermal histories.
proposed resolution: Recast a public Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the compressed area-criterion or an MP-Gadget/Sherwood-based emulator) to accept DW sterile-neutrino T(k), marginalizing over IGM thermal-history nuisances, and add a lensing/substructure likelihood on the suppressed halo statistics.
Thermal-equilibrium fermionic WDM primordial-spectrum model (arXiv:1308.1109 · score 20)No machine-readable likelihood connects this model's thermal-WDM transfer function or k_1/2 to Lyman-alpha forest and high-redshift structure data; both constraints are marked recasting_needed with no resolved likelihood, so the data_compare step cannot produce a numerical exclusion.
proposed resolution: Interface the paper's T(k)/k_1/2 outputs with a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES compressed WDM likelihoods) that accepts a generic transfer-function cutoff, and wire the mapping m_FD -> T(k) into it.

Starobinsky inflaton-decay hidden scalar dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 20)No transfer-function computation or structure-formation likelihood exists for this decay-produced 10-100 keV scalar: the strong disfavoring of the L_FS ~ 10 Mpc minimal case and the viability of the ~0.1 Mpc nonminimal case are source-level statements never confronted with Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count data.
proposed resolution: Run CLASS with the derived f(p) as a non-cold relic to get the suppression scale, map to a thermal-WDM-equivalent mass, and evaluate against existing Lyman-alpha emulator likelihoods and MW satellite-count constraints, exposing the result in (m_X, xi_X, xi_h).
Sterile-neutrino dark matter from Higgs-singlet decays (arXiv:hep-ph/0609081 · score 20)No Lyman-alpha likelihood applies to the colder decay-produced spectrum: existing Lyman-alpha bounds and emulators are calibrated for thermal-WDM or Dodelson-Widrow spectra, so the paper's central claim (bound relaxed from 10 keV to about 2.7 keV) has never been tested against a modern flux-power likelihood.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(p) into CLASS's non-cold-relic sector to obtain T(k), then evaluate against a modern Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator using a generalized suppression-shape (area-criterion) mapping instead of the thermal-mass rescaling.

Light gravitino dark matter scenarios (arXiv:1004.4213 · score 19)No current Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for a mixed hot-thermal-gravitino plus CDM density fraction; the only quoted bound is the historical WMAP+Ly-alpha m_3/2 < 16 eV result at fixed effective temperature, which does not cover nonstandard-dilution or heavier all-DM scenarios.
proposed resolution: Recast modern Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints (e.g. a WDM/hot-fraction emulator calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations) against CLASS ncdm transfer functions parameterized by (m_3/2, T_gravitino/T_photon, Omega_3/2 fraction), covering both the hot-subcomponent and diluted all-DM branches.
Resonant MSM sterile-neutrino dark matter with technically natural N2-N3 degeneracy (arXiv:1006.4008 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator handles the nonthermal resonantly-produced N1 spectrum; existing Ly-alpha constraints are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions, and the card flags that a thermal-equivalent mass proxy can misstate the viable region.
proposed resolution: Build a Ly-alpha flux-power emulator over CLASS transfer functions generated from resonant-DM phase-space distributions (parameterized by M_1, theta, L), validated with a small suite of hydrodynamic simulations, or rigorously validate an area-criterion mapping onto existing thermal-WDM likelihoods.
Froggatt-Nielsen keV sterile-neutrino dark matter, Scenario A (arXiv:1105.5136 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha forest (or dwarf-count) likelihood is available that accepts a general nonthermal sterile-neutrino transfer function; existing thermal-WDM mass bounds cannot be applied directly to the FN spectrum (constraint marked recast_required, likelihood_available: no).
proposed resolution: Couple the model's transfer function to an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood framework (e.g. area-criterion or emulator-based recasts of thermal-WDM analyses generalized to arbitrary suppressed transfer functions) and add a Milky Way satellite-count likelihood keyed to the half-mode mass.
sterile-neutrino dark matter from light vector boson decay (arXiv:1403.2727 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure likelihood or validated thermal-equivalent mapping exists for the decay-produced, colder-than-thermal spectrum (k/T about 2.4-2.5); the card flags that the 7.1 keV benchmark cannot be declared allowed from the lambda_FS estimate alone.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(q) into CLASS as a tabulated ncdm distribution, compute transfer functions across the parameter grid, and recast against existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods/emulators (e.g. the standard WDM area-criterion or MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 based likelihoods) to derive bounds directly on (m_s, M_Zprime, g_prime).
U(1) B-L freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1607.01469 · score 19)No pipeline exists to translate the nonthermal freeze-in distribution into a small-scale-structure constraint: thermal-WDM Lyman-alpha bounds cannot be applied directly, and no transfer function has been computed for this model's f_N1(p).

proposed resolution: Generate linear matter power spectra with axionCAMB/AxiCLASS over a (m, F_scalar) grid and evaluate them against a public Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator calibrated on hydrodynamic simulation grids (Sherwood/Nyx-style), reproducing the 1708.00015 contour as validation before extending to arbitrary fractions.
XC charged dark matter with a light C particle (arXiv:1702.05482 · score 19)Small-scale structure is constrained only through the proxy criterion z_dec > 10^6 (CDM-like power for k < 10 h/Mpc); no Lyman-alpha or subhalo-count likelihood exists for the model's oscillatory, DAO-suppressed transfer functions, and the Planck N_eff constraint is applied as a summary bound rather than a bundled likelihood (likelihood_available: no/partial).
proposed resolution: Recast existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods (or ETHOS/WDM emulator-based bounds) onto the model's DAO transfer functions via an area-criterion or half-mode mapping, and wrap Planck N_eff plus H0 inference as a joint likelihood over (xi, Delta N_eff).
Subpercent minicharged dark matter (arXiv:1802.10094 · score 19)None of the listed likelihoods is actually available for this model: the CMB scattering (Neff/mu-distortion and drag) limits, Lyman-alpha matter-power limits, and stellar/SN1987A/SLAC millicharge bounds are cited qualitatively without recast likelihoods, and no global 21-cm signal likelihood (EDGES-like, with astrophysical marginalization) is attached (likelihood_available: no/partial, recasting_needed: yes).

Despicable dark relic non-minimally coupled scalar dark matter (arXiv:1808.08236 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha constraint exists for this model's light (sub-keV) relics: existing Lyman-alpha bounds and emulators are calibrated to thermal warm dark matter, while these relics have a nonthermal (or dark-thermalized, T_dark < T_gamma) distribution whose free-streaming differs from an equal-mass thermal relic, so sub-keV parameter points cannot be accepted or excluded.
proposed resolution: Feed the full relic distribution f(q) from gap_2 into a Boltzmann code that accepts arbitrary non-cold distribution functions (CLASS with ncdm psd files), compute the linear transfer function, and recast against Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints using the area-criterion or an existing WDM-emulator mapping generalized to non-thermal spectra.
Reproductive freeze-in self-interacting dark matter (arXiv:2007.14688 · score 19)No likelihood exists to confront RFI predictions with data: the relic constraint is only a target-density comparison (likelihood_available: no) and the Lyman-alpha/matter-power and SIDM halo constraints are flagged recast_required with no evaluated likelihood.

Self-interacting ultra-light axion-like Bose-Einstein-condensate dark matter (arXiv:2103.12342 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha (or other small-scale structure) likelihood accepts the self-interaction-modified BEC transfer function; the cited m > 2e-21 eV bound comes from free-ULA analyses whose cutoff shape and thermal-history marginalization do not transfer directly to this model.
proposed resolution: Interface the self-interacting BEC transfer functions with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. the Rogers-Peiris ULA pipeline or lym-alpha compressed likelihoods), marginalizing over IGM thermal history, to produce joint (m, lambda_s) bounds.
Starobinsky inflaton-decay massive Abelian vector dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 19)No likelihood exists mapping the decay-produced vector's small-scale power suppression onto current structure-formation data; the coldness constraint is currently only a qualitative free-streaming argument.
proposed resolution: Recast published Lyman-alpha forest and Milky Way satellite-count WDM limits onto the nonthermal vector spectrum via half-mode-mass matching of the CLASS ncdm transfer function, or run the spectrum through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator to produce an m_X - (g v) exclusion curve.
Two-component wave dark matter with distinct boson masses (arXiv:2212.14288 · score 19)All small-scale constraints on the model are single-component FDM bounds needing recast: no likelihood exists that maps ultrafaint-dwarf granule heating, satellite counts, or Lyman-alpha flux power onto the two-component (m_major, m_minor, f_major) parameter space.
proposed resolution: Generalize the published FDM granule-heating relaxation model to a two-mass superposition for the dwarf stellar-kinematics likelihood, and feed the two-component transfer function (gap_2) through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator calibrated for suppressed-power cosmologies.
Instantaneously decaying WIMP warm dark matter (arXiv:2305.10315 · score 19)No public likelihood exists for the SDSS DLA/HI collapsed-fraction lower limits used to constrain the warm tail of this model; the paper's comparison relies on private halo-threshold-mass modeling and the card flags recasting_needed for the Lyman-alpha/HI constraint.
proposed resolution: Build a MontePython/cobaya likelihood module that maps a suppressed matter power spectrum to halo collapsed fractions (Sheth-Tormen or simulation-calibrated mass function with WDM correction) and compares to SDSS DLA/HI lower limits at threshold masses 1e10 and 5e10 Msun, exposing the host-mass mapping as a nuisance parameter.
Dark group warm dark baryon model (arXiv:astro-ph/0212275 · score 19)No modern likelihood recast exists for the model: the BBN/Neff energy-density bound and the free-streaming criterion are applied only as early-2000s analytic bounds (likelihood_available: no for both constraints), with no Lyman-alpha, satellite-count, or CMB/Neff pipeline connected.
proposed resolution: Once transfer functions exist, recast standard WDM Lyman-alpha likelihoods/emulators and Milky Way satellite counts onto (Lambda_c, T_D/T_gamma), and apply Planck Neff and background-expansion (SN/BAO) likelihoods to the pre-condensation radiation and w_DE predictions.
Boson-decay sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1011.2217 · score 18)Lyman-alpha and satellite-count limits are quoted only for thermal-relic or Dodelson-Widrow distributions; no likelihood or validated mass-mapping exists that recasts these bounds onto the colder boson-decay distribution with g_d ~ 100.

Froggatt-Nielsen keV sterile-neutrino dark matter, Scenario B (arXiv:1105.5136 · score 18)No Lyman-alpha or dwarf-count likelihood exists for the resulting nonthermal FN sterile-neutrino transfer functions; only thermal-relic and Dodelson-Widrow mass bounds from the literature are available and they do not map directly onto this model's spectra.
proposed resolution: Recast the model transfer functions onto modern Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via half-mode/area-criterion matching to a thermal-WDM emulator, and add Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods for the same suppression scale.
Starobinsky-produced dark SU(N) glueball dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 17)No likelihood or transfer-function recast tests the glueball scenario against structure-formation data: the combined abundance/coldness/self-interaction verdict is a source-level statement, with no mapping of the cannibalized glueball momentum distribution and sigma/m onto Lyman-alpha, Milky Way satellite, or cluster/dwarf SIDM constraints.
proposed resolution: Compute the glueball transfer function with a CLASS non-cold-relic run seeded by the post-cannibalism phase-space distribution, map suppression to thermal-WDM-equivalent Lyman-alpha and satellite-count limits, and combine with existing SIDM cluster/dwarf constraint compilations for sigma/m.
DFSZ axino dark matter in the Kim-Nilles mechanism (arXiv:1104.2219 · score 14)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is available for nonthermal axino transfer functions: the quoted ~5.3 keV thermal-WDM bound and the 7 keV comparison are borrowed thermal-relic mappings, and the card marks the recast (con_freezein_axino_lya_recast) as required but not performed.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed nonthermal transfer functions against Ly-alpha forest data using an area-criterion or half-mode mapping onto published thermal-WDM limits as a first pass, and for a proper likelihood connect them to a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator trained on hydrodynamical simulations that accepts general suppressed transfer functions.

Spin-2 portal fermion freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1803.01866 · score 31)No public implementation exists of the spin-2 portal freeze-in yield through a non-instantaneous reheating background: the Boltzmann integration of R(T) over the inflaton-dominated era with both T_RH and T_max, including the transition between graviton-dominated, off-shell, resonant (narrow-width), and light-mediator regimes, currently requires custom code.
proposed resolution: Write a standalone reheating-era freeze-in integrator (or extend the micrOMEGAs freeze-in module, which assumes radiation domination) that evolves Y_X over the inflaton-decay background parameterized by (T_RH, T_max), takes the paper's spin-dependent R(T) for scalar/fermion/vector final states as input, and validates against the superheavy-mediator graviton limit and a direct thermal integration across the m_G ~ T resonance.

Decaying warm dark matter to invisible radiation (arXiv:2205.13628 · score 30)The modified CLASS decaying non-cold (warm mother plus massless daughter) Boltzmann hierarchy used in the primary analysis is not publicly released, so the whole pipeline cannot be rerun or extended without re-implementation.

Mass-varying dark matter with rapid mass turn-on (arXiv:2303.17947 · score 30)No public Boltzmann-solver module evolves a fermionic species whose mass turns on rapidly at z_t: the authors' CLASS patch for time-varying dark-matter mass is not identifiably released, so the matter power spectrum and CMB spectra for MVDM cannot be recomputed by third parties.
proposed resolution: Implement time-dependent mass support in the CLASS ncdm sector (promote m to m(a) with the card's fast-transition parameterization in the background and perturbation equations) and release it publicly, or obtain and archive the authors' existing CLASS patch; validate by recovering the CDM limit for early transitions and large M/T.

Hidden-charged dark matter with chiral dark radiation (arXiv:1706.05605 · score 29)No Boltzmann-solver implementation covers this model's specific DM-dark-radiation opacity: the hidden-U(1) Coulomb-like scattering of Dirac DM off chiral hidden fermions/pions, with the confinement transition at Lambda ~ 1 eV changing the dark-radiation content, is not mapped onto the ETHOS a_n parameterization in any public modified CLASS/CAMB.
proposed resolution: Derive the temperature scaling of the hidden-U(1) DM-DR momentum-transfer rate across the confinement transition, map it onto the ETHOS opacity coefficients, and implement it in an ETHOS-style modified CLASS including the step in dark relativistic degrees of freedom at Lambda.

Preheating dark matter (arXiv:1002.1306 · score 25)No public Boltzmann-solver implementation of the Pauli-blocked decaying-scalar model exists: the original CMBFAST patch was never released, and neither CLASS nor CAMB includes a decaying dark-matter module with the model's epoch-dependent, phase-space-capped decay rate Q(a) and effective equation of state w_eff(a) sourcing a growing neutrino Fermi sphere.
proposed resolution: Reimplement the paper's background and perturbation equations as a CLASS module, extending the existing CLASS decaying-CDM (dcdm/dr) sector to take a time-dependent decay rate Q(a) from the fermionic-preheating solution and to deposit the decay products into a degenerate (Fermi-sphere) neutrino distribution instead of massless dark radiation; validate against the paper's benchmark spectra and the LambdaCDM limit as lambda -> 0.

proposed resolution: Implement the full G2HDM Lagrangian in FeynRules, export CalcHEP model files, and run micrOMEGAs for relic density (including coannihilation with Delta, H+, W^(p,m), f^H) and direct detection, validating against the inert-doublet limit where the extra states decouple.
Parafermionic dark matter (arXiv:1807.07289 · score 21)No public relic-abundance solver implements the parafermi-statistics Boltzmann equation (finite maximum occupation order p, modified equilibrium distribution and blocking factors in the collision term); standard codes hard-wire Maxwell-Boltzmann or Fermi-Dirac/Bose-Einstein statistics.
proposed resolution: Write a standalone freeze-out ODE solver (or patch the micrOMEGAs collision-term module) that takes the parafermi order p as a parameter, uses the paper's equilibrium distribution and blocking factors in the thermally averaged collision term with <sigma v> = a + 6b/x, and validate by recovering the p=1 fermion limit and the paper's p>=2 abundance-enhancement benchmarks at 100, 500, and 1000 GeV.
E6 two-component dark matter formalism (arXiv:1911.13298 · score 21)No numerical implementation of the two-component (Weyl fermion + inert-doublet-like scalar) dark sector exists for relic-partition and inelastic direct-detection calculations; the phenomenology step is currently not done at all, and the eV-scale fermion regime requires non-standard (non-freeze-out) production treatment.
proposed resolution: Build FeynRules model files for the low-energy E6 dark sector, export to CalcHEP, and use micrOMEGAs in two-component mode for the scalar relic fraction and inelastic nuclear-recoil rates; add a freeze-in/thermalization module for the suppressed eV-scale fermion component.

SU(2)_D complex vector dark matter with electromagnetic multipole moments (arXiv:2007.03216 · score 21)The relic abundance of the W_D vectors is asserted but never computed: no implementation of the SU(2)_D gauge/Higgs sector exists for a thermal freeze-out scan, leaving whether W_D can be all of the dark matter unquantified.

proposed resolution: Encode the U(1)_X Lagrangian (Z-prime couplings to the neutral fermion and SM fermions, extended Higgs sector) in FeynRules/CalcHEP and run micrOMEGAs to compute the resonance-region relic density and spin-dependent cross section, replacing the x_f = 20 analytic estimate.

Degenerate-particle Majorana dark matter with enhanced internal bremsstrahlung (arXiv:1411.4858 · score 20)No public micrOMEGAs (or equivalent) model implementation exists for the k nearly degenerate Majorana fermions plus charged scalar mediator eta, so the coannihilation relic-density calculation that fixes the allowed Yukawa coupling y_1 cannot be reproduced from released code.

Non-Abelian WIMP multiplet dark matter with dark gluon radiation (arXiv:1505.03542 · score 20)No implementation of the electroweak WIMP multiplet with dark non-Abelian multiplicity factors exists in relic/collider tools, so multiplicity-modified annihilation, indirect-detection, and collider rates cannot be recast against existing searches.
proposed resolution: Implement the multiplet model (spectrum, degeneracy, dark-gluon final states) in micrOMEGAs or MadDM to compute multiplicity-adjusted relic, annihilation, and production cross sections, then recast LHC monojet/electroweakino searches and CTA/Fermi indirect limits with the rescaled rates.

proposed resolution: Encode the model's high-scale soft-term boundary conditions as a SARAH/SPheno or FlexibleSUSY model file (inputs Lambda_IR, F, compositeness fractions) and validate the output spectrum against the paper's benchmark points.
Neutral-current fermionic absorption dark matter (arXiv:1905.12635 · score 20)No public absorption-rate calculator exists for fermionic dark matter absorption via dimension-six neutral-current operators: target-specific nuclear response functions (beyond the coherent approximation) and electronic response/matrix elements for the mass-energy-deposit kinematics are not implemented in any standard direct-detection package, which are built for scattering rather than absorption.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing direct-detection rate framework (e.g. the nuclear-response formalism of WimPyDD/DirectDM for nuclei, and DarkELF/QEdark-style electronic response functions for electron targets) to the fermionic-absorption kinematics with energy deposit set by m_chi, covering xenon, argon, and semiconductor targets and validated against E_R ~ m_chi^2/(2M) and the published electron-target limit shapes.
Primordial dark matter halos from scalar fifth forces (arXiv:1906.05300 · score 20)No solver exists for radiation-era fifth-force collapse with screening: the M_PDMH(beta, m_psi, delta_in, z_in) and mass-radius predictions that feed every downstream observable rest on by-hand scaling-solution and virialization estimates, with screening dominating the uncertainty.

Mass-dimension-one fermion non-minimally coupled to electromagnetism (arXiv:2305.16848 · score 20)No public code implements the mass-dimension-one fermion field: standard pipelines (FeynRules -> CalcHEP/MadGraph -> micrOMEGAs/MadDM) assume Dirac/Majorana/scalar/vector fields and cannot handle the MDOF dual-helicity spinor propagator and spin sums, so no automated relic-abundance or collider event generation exists for this model.
proposed resolution: Implement the MDOF propagator and spin sums as a custom model in CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs (hand-coded matrix elements or modified helicity-amplitude routines), then use the standard micrOMEGAs freeze-out solver to compute Omega h^2 and freeze-out temperature over the (m, e, g) space, validating against the beta-function and transversality results of arXiv:2305.16848.
Fourth-generation Majorana neutrino dark matter with residual U(1)_F parity (arXiv:1212.2749 · score 20)No public model implementation of the U(1)_F fourth-generation Majorana neutrino model exists for CalcHEP or any relic-density code: the paper used CalcHEP 2.4 privately for annihilation cross sections into Z0 h0, W+W-, and fermion pairs, so the relic-fraction curves r_Omega(m_1, theta) and the scattering cross sections cannot be independently reproduced or scanned.
proposed resolution: Encode the Lagrangian (gauge charges, singlet scalars, Y4^nu and Y4^m Yukawas, Z-prime) in FeynRules and export to CalcHEP/micrOMEGAs model files, then reproduce the paper's freeze-out relic fraction and sigma_SI/sigma_SD as validation before releasing the model files publicly.

Late-forming PBH from thermal balls and Fermi balls (arXiv:2210.16462 · score 20)Existing PBH constraint codes evaluate f_PBH bounds assuming formation deep in the radiation era; no tool applies CMB accretion, microlensing, and dwarf-heating limits time-dependently for objects that are extended thermal/Fermi balls until a formation redshift z_form after recombination.
proposed resolution: Extend a PBHbounds-style constraint package with a formation-redshift argument: switch each constraint on only for z < z_form, add pre-collapse compact-object limits (e.g. microlensing on Fermi balls) and the BBN Delta N_eff < 0.40 dark-radiation bound, producing f_PBH(M_PBH, z_form) exclusion surfaces.
Two-component boosted light dark matter in a neutrinophilic 2HDM (arXiv:2310.09349 · score 20)No public model implementation exists for the neutrinophilic 2HDM with singlet scalar phi3 and vectorlike fermion chi1, so neither the constraint filter (oblique, invisible-width, LEP/LHC) nor the coupled two-component Boltzmann relic calculation with the chi1 chi1 -> phi3 phi3 conversion channel can be reproduced.
proposed resolution: Implement the model in FeynRules/CalcHEP, solve the coupled freeze-out in micrOMEGAs' two-component mode (validating against the paper's coupled vs uncoupled benchmarks and the 35-60 GeV under-abundant window), and wrap HiggsTools plus oblique/invisible-width checks as the benchmark filter.
Split-Supersymmetry neutralino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0412058 · score 20)Default micrOMEGAs/DarkSUSY-style relic and annihilation calculations omit Sommerfeld enhancement and electroweak bound-state effects that are O(1) for multi-TeV Wino/Higgsino-dominated neutralinos, precisely the regime that sets the quoted ~2.2 TeV thermal upper mass and the present-day indirect-detection rates.
proposed resolution: Extend the relic-density step with the Sommerfeld-corrected electroweakino annihilation treatments already published for pure Wino/Higgsino limits (nonrelativistic EFT cross sections), interfacing them to the mixed-composition scan instead of the tree-level solver output.
Indirect fermionic Higgs portal dark matter (arXiv:1203.2064 · score 19)No public micrOMEGAs/CalcHEP (or equivalent) model implementation exists for this specific Majorana fermion plus real singlet scalar Higgs-portal model, so the relic-density freeze-out through chi chi -> H1/H2 mediators cannot be computed numerically, including the Sommerfeld-enhanced regime the card flags from light-mediator exchange.
proposed resolution: Encode the Lagrangian (Majorana chi, singlet phi, Higgs mixing) in FeynRules, export a CalcHEP model file, and run micrOMEGAs for relic density and thermal-contact rates; add the Sommerfeld correction from mediator exchange as a multiplicative factor on the annihilation cross section.
Resonant scalar fermionic Higgs portal dark matter (arXiv:1203.2064 · score 19)No public micrOMEGAs/CalcHEP model implementation exists per the card for the Majorana fermion plus mixed-singlet-scalar model, which is required because the narrow resonant escape region near m_chi = m_H1/2 or m_H2/2 demands finite-width thermally averaged annihilation rather than the analytic Breit-Wigner estimate alone.
proposed resolution: Implement the model in FeynRules/CalcHEP and run micrOMEGAs, whose relic solver already handles resonance thermal averaging with full widths; validate by recovering the m_h/2 (about 63 GeV) resonance dip and the small-coupling relic solutions the paper describes.
Ekpyrotic-reheating inflaton-remnant dark matter (arXiv:1203.5284 · score 19)No Boltzmann relic-density solver handles freeze-out of the surviving inflaton across the ekpyrotic reheating history, where the negative post-inflation potential gives an equation-of-state phase with w > 1 and a nonstandard expansion rate; the card's relic prediction rests only on the source's rough analytic approximations, and standard codes assume radiation domination at freeze-out.
proposed resolution: Write (or extend micrOMEGAs' user-defined Hubble-rate interface into) a coupled inflaton-radiation-DM Boltzmann code that evolves the two-scalar potential V1(phi)+V2(chi) through the w > 1 ekpyrotic phase into radiation domination, with Yukawa annihilation into fermions, and validate against the source's Case II/III examples at m_phi around 1 TeV.
Natural SUSY higgsino-axion dark matter (arXiv:1203.5539 · score 19)No public code computes the mixed axion/higgsino relic composition: the coupled cosmology of thermally produced axinos, saxion and moduli decays, entropy production, and axion misalignment that sets Omega_chi/Omega_DM is treated by assumption, yet this fraction rescales every direct- and indirect-detection rate.
proposed resolution: Implement coupled Boltzmann equations for axino/saxion/moduli energy densities, their decays to neutralinos, neutralino reannihilation, and axion misalignment on top of a micrOMEGAs or DarkSUSY spectrum interface, parameterized by PQ scale, axino/saxion masses, and reheating temperature.

Vector fermion-portal dark matter (arXiv:1409.3227 · score 19)No public model implementation (FeynRules/UFO/CalcHEP files) of the hidden-U(1) vector dark matter with vector-like fermion portal exists, so relic density, annihilation cross sections, and collider rates cannot be computed with standard pipelines.

Yukawa-coupled quintessence fermion dark matter (arXiv:1411.3660 · score 19)No public Boltzmann code implements this Yukawa-coupled quintessence-fermion model (field-dependent fermion mass m(phi)=M-beta*phi with exponential potential): the source's modified CAMB is private, so neither CMB nor matter-power spectra can be computed for new parameter points.

proposed resolution: Build a spectrum module that takes tabulated e+e- R-ratio-based A' branching fractions (as in the dark-photon literature), decays and boosts them to chi chi -> A'A' cascade spectra, and outputs prompt gamma, e+, and ICS-ready injection spectra; implement as an extension to existing indirect-detection spectrum tools (PPPC-style tables or a Pythia-based wrapper with hadronic corrections).

proposed resolution: Implement the loop-level pure-higgsino spin-independent cross section (electroweak two-loop results available in the literature) in micrOMEGAs or DarkSUSY, then confront it with the public LZ/XENONnT likelihoods to replace the dated primary-paper comparison.
nonthermal pure higgsino LSP dark matter (arXiv:1203.0285 · score 32)The central viability constraint (BBN plus leptogenesis plus relic-density consistency for heavy gravitino decay) has no packaged likelihood: the paper-level allowed regions in (m_G, T_RH, m_higgsino, m_tilde_1) were derived with hadronic/electromagnetic injection limits that are not available as a reusable public evaluation.
proposed resolution: Encode the gravitino-decay energy-injection constraint using a public BBN injection code (e.g. extend ACROPOLIS to the relevant heavy-gravitino hadronic branching ratios or tabulate the Kawasaki-Moroi-type bounds) and package it with the analytic abundance formulas as a joint scan likelihood over (m_G, T_RH, m_LSP).

Low-scale inverse-seesaw keV sterile-neutrino freeze-in model (arXiv:2305.08249 · score 32)No ready-to-use X-ray line likelihood recast exists for this model: NuSTAR Galactic-bulge and XMM-Newton blank-sky limits are published as exclusion curves in the sin^2(2theta) convention, but the pipeline mapping the inverse-seesaw |U_4| and the freeze-in relic fraction onto those curves has not been implemented.
proposed resolution: Implement a recast layer that converts |U_4| to sin^2(2theta), rescales the line flux by the model's sterile-neutrino fraction of dark matter, and interpolates the published NuSTAR (1908.09037) and XMM-Newton (2102.02207) limit curves as an approximate likelihood.
NMSSM light neutralino LSP dark matter with a 95 GeV Higgs (arXiv:2403.16884 · score 32)No standalone combined likelihood is exported for the scenario: relic density, LZ SI/SD limits, and 95 GeV Higgs signal strengths are applied as scan-level pass/fail cuts inside NMSSMTools/micrOMEGAs/SModelS, so the benchmarks cannot be re-weighted, combined with new data, or used in global fits without redoing the scan.

Non-thermal higgsino dark matter from late decays (arXiv:1607.00004 · score 30)Direct-detection and compressed-electroweakino collider constraints are not evaluated: sigma_SI from higgsino-gaugino mixing and monojet/disappearing-track reach are only cited from external analyses, with no likelihood or recast in place.

proposed resolution: Encode sigma_v(v) evaluated at freeze-out, recombination, halo, and minihalo velocities into the Planck p_ann bound (with f_eff for the phi phi -> e+ e- cascade at m_phi ~ 10 MeV), compute the loop-induced spin-independent cross section for the CP-odd coupling and compare to LZ/XENONnT curves, and add mediator-coupling limits from beam-dump and rare-meson-decay data.
Phenomenological early decaying dark matter (arXiv:1104.4094 · score 29)The published bounds (lambda_FS < ~0.5 Mpc; (M_DDM/keV * Y)^2 T_d/yr < ~5e-5) rest on WMAP7/ACBAR/SDSS-DR7-era likelihoods; no modern CMB/LSS likelihood analysis exists for this parameterization, so current constraints are outdated by over a decade of data.

Inert-doublet single-Higgs-inflation dark matter (arXiv:1202.0288 · score 28)Relic-density and XENON100 spin-independent constraints have only 'approximate' likelihoods with recasting_needed partial, so the 50-80 GeV light branch cannot be confronted with modern relic and direct-detection data at likelihood level.
proposed resolution: Run the public micrOMEGAs inert-doublet model over the light branch and attach a Planck-2018 Gaussian relic likelihood plus DDCalc-based LZ/XENONnT spin-independent likelihoods in place of the WMAP-era band and XENON100 limit.

proposed resolution: Implement a decaying-relic constraint module that takes (m_h2, tau_h2, Omega_h2) and evaluates BBN photodissociation bounds, Planck CMB energy-injection limits (via ExoCLASS/DarkAges-style deposition), and digitized AMS-02/diffuse X-ray limits as a combined likelihood.
Hadronic up-type minimal scalar FIMP freeze-in model (arXiv:1910.00117 · score 28)The LLP collider exclusion in the m_F versus c_tau_F plane is not reusable: the recast's search efficiency maps (CMS HSCP, disappearing tracks, ATLAS displaced-vertex plus MET) and hadronization assumptions are not packaged as a machine-readable likelihood for rescanning the freeze-in parameter space.

Right-handed sneutrino dark matter in MSSM inverse/linear seesaw extensions (arXiv:1209.1465 · score 28)No modern direct-detection likelihood recast exists for this model: the card compares only to historical XENON100 curves and does not handle subdominant-abundance rescaling or the keV-scale real-imaginary splitting that controls the inelastic Z-exchange channel.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI output to a public direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc with XENON1T/LZ/XENONnT data), adding Omega_snu/Omega_DM rescaling for subcomponent points and a kinematic treatment of the Delta-m-dependent inelastic scattering channel.
Inert-doublet multi-Higgs-inflation dark matter (arXiv:1202.0288 · score 27)The relic-density and light-H0 exclusion constraints carry only 'approximate' likelihoods with no likelihood_reference, so the WMAP-era allowed/excluded regions cannot be recast against modern data without a dedicated likelihood layer.

proposed resolution: Reimplement the scan as a GAMBIT- or EasyScan-style public chain wired to the existing SARAH/SPheno + micrOMEGAs + HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals stack, replacing the XENON1T 2018 comparison with current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods (e.g. via DDCalc) and publishing the chi2 definitions and accepted-point samples.
B-L two-Higgs-doublet thermal right-handed neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2007.07920 · score 27)No xenon direct-detection likelihood implements the model's velocity-suppressed nonstandard nonrelativistic operator from Z-prime exchange; the paper warns conventional SI/SD cross-section limits cannot be applied to the leading operator.

Classically scale-invariant SU(2)_X vector dark matter (arXiv:2303.18122 · score 26)No bundled likelihood exists for the direct-detection relic line: the card marks likelihood_available unknown and recasting partial, with the primary paper's exclusion curve used only as evidence, so the relic-abundance and sigma_SI constraints cannot be evaluated statistically.
proposed resolution: Encode the model (CalcHEP/FeynRules model files) in micrOMEGAs to compute Omega_X h^2 including semiannihilation and sigma_SI, then couple to DDCalc for current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods; validate against the primary x_f ~ 25-26 relation and the published direct-detection benchmark curve.
Scalar-field unified dark matter model with fast transition (arXiv:1011.6669 · score 26)No likelihood pipeline confronts the model with data: the sound-speed viability constraint has likelihood_available: no, and the ISW/CMB-galaxy cross-correlation channel relies on WMAP-era context with no modern cross-correlation likelihood applied to UDM parameters.

Remnant-Z2 Majorana dark matter with Goldstone dark radiation (arXiv:1310.6256 · score 25)No direct-detection likelihood or recast is implemented for the scalar-mixing-induced sigma_SI: the LUX/XENON constraint is recorded with likelihood_available=no and recasting_needed=yes, and no updated LZ/XENONnT limits have been applied.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from the two-scalar-exchange amplitude with mixing angle theta and evaluate it in DDCalc (or the micrOMEGAs direct-detection module) against published LZ and XENONnT likelihoods, including the relic-abundance rescaling assumption recorded in the card.
Anapole dark matter (arXiv:1211.0503 · score 24)No current-generation direct-detection likelihood recast exists for the anapole operator: the velocity- and momentum-dependent recoil spectrum has only been compared to paper-era XENON100 limits, not to XENONnT/LZ/PandaX data, and cannot be treated with spin-independent contact-limit tables.
proposed resolution: Map the anapole operator onto the non-relativistic EFT basis (O8/O9) with DirectDM-style matching and evaluate the recoil spectrum against current xenon-experiment likelihoods in a public tool such as WimPyDD or DDCalc, scanning the relic-density-matched (m_chi, g/Lambda^2) curve.
Chilled sterile neutrino dark matter from in-equilibrium singlet decays (arXiv:0801.3470 · score 24)No X-ray decay-line likelihood is attached to the model: the radiative-decay bound on the active-sterile mixing angle is discussed only qualitatively, and the mixing is a separate parameter not fixed by the production coupling f.
proposed resolution: Recast published XMM-Newton, Chandra, and NuSTAR keV line-search limits into a reusable likelihood on the (m_N, sin^2 2theta) plane and attach it to the card with the sterile neutrino carrying the full relic abundance from singlet decays.
Secluded U(1)' neutralino dark matter benchmarks (arXiv:1012.5105 · score 24)No modern combined likelihood (Planck relic density plus current LZ/XENONnT spin-independent limits) has been applied to the WMAP-era benchmarks; the direct-detection statement is only a qualitative transfer from a later secluded U(1)' scan.
proposed resolution: Once model files exist, chain micrOMEGAs output through DDCalc with current xenon-experiment likelihoods and a Planck Omega h^2 Gaussian to produce quantitative allowed regions for the benchmark family.
Flipped SU(5) non-universal-Higgs neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1101.0835 · score 24)Direct-detection constraints rest on a CDMS-II-era comparison from a related flipped-SU(5) paper; no modern spin-independent or spin-dependent likelihood (LZ, XENONnT, PandaX-4T) has been evaluated for this variant's sigma_SI and sigma_SD.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI and sigma_SD along the scan with DarkSUSY or micrOMEGAs and evaluate current exclusion likelihoods through DDCalc, applying the DarkSUSY-style local-density rescaling for underabundant points.
Flipped SU(5)-UH neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1101.0835 · score 24)Direct-detection constraints rest on a CDMS-II-era comparison from a related flipped-SU(5) paper; no modern spin-independent or spin-dependent likelihood (LZ, XENONnT, PandaX-4T) has been evaluated for this variant's sigma_SI and sigma_SD.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI and sigma_SD along the scan with DarkSUSY or micrOMEGAs and evaluate current exclusion likelihoods through DDCalc, applying the DarkSUSY-style local-density rescaling for underabundant points.
Unbroken local U(1)_X scalar dark matter model (arXiv:1310.6229 · score 24)No machine-usable direct-detection likelihood exists for scalar X: the only bound is a figure-level XENON100 (225 live days) exclusion with likelihood_available: no, and the combined Higgs-portal plus kinetic-mixing recoil rate has not been implemented against any current xenon exposure.
proposed resolution: Implement the scalar-X spin-independent cross section (separate lambda_HX Higgs-exchange and epsilon-induced photon/Z-exchange terms) in DDCalc or micrOMEGAs and evaluate it against current LZ/XENONnT/PandaX likelihoods, replacing the obsolete XENON100 figure-level bound.
Z2 fermion dark matter from broken local U(1) with bound states (arXiv:1910.04311 · score 24)No direct-detection or dark-photon likelihood/recast is implemented for the model's portal parameter space: the card marks likelihood_available no and the recast step requires external experimental limits that have not been wired to the model's sigma_SI and kinetic-mixing predictions.
proposed resolution: Wire the paper's sigma_SI formula into DDCalc/micrOMEGAs direct-detection limit tables (LZ/XENONnT) and overlay published dark-photon epsilon vs m_gamma_prime exclusion compilations, exposing the combined allowed region over (lambda_H, epsilon, m_R, m_gamma_prime, y).
Scalar WIMP dark matter in the simplest scoto-seesaw model (arXiv:2104.13401 · score 24)The registry route applies only the Planck relic band as a likelihood; the XENON1T spin-independent limit used to cut the eta_R parameter space was not digitized or rerun (card: likelihood_available 'no', 'XENON1T curve not included'), so direct-detection viability of scan points cannot be re-evaluated or updated to newer exposures.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI output to the public DDCalc likelihood package (which ships XENON1T and successor LZ/XENONnT likelihoods) inside the scan loop, so the direct-detection constraint becomes a proper reproducible likelihood rather than a digitized curve.
Dark Loops Model 5 scalar-singlet dark matter (arXiv:2207.11556 · score 24)No machine-readable combined likelihood or scan-point release exists for the joint flavor + relic + direct-detection + collider constraint region; the card records likelihood_available: no and that no scan points were recovered, so the allowed region can only be read off the paper's figures.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the global scan with public components (e.g. flavio/smelli for the b -> s l+l- and g-2 likelihood, micrOMEGAs for relic and sigma_SI, published DD curves) and release the scan chain so the 30-350 GeV window is reproducible with post-2022 flavor averages.
NMSSM singlino dark matter benchmark regions (arXiv:2209.03863 · score 24)No detector-level recast or likelihood exists for the compressed, lepton/tau-rich electroweakino and slepton cascade topologies of benchmarks BP1-BP4; the card notes SModelS-style simplified-model results and standard chargino/neutralino or stau searches can miss these decay chains, and likelihood_available is 'no' for the collider constraint.
proposed resolution: Implement the BP1-BP4 cascade topologies in a public recast framework (CheckMATE or MadAnalysis5 with the relevant ATLAS/CMS electroweakino and stau analyses), validating against the published cutflows, and expose the resulting exclusion likelihood so the NMSSMTools/micrOMEGAs scan chain can consume it.
Two-24 type III GMSB gravitino warm dark matter variant (arXiv:0807.4524 · score 24)The BBN viability of the long-lived stau benchmarks rests on a qualitative statement; no light-element injection calculation or BBN late-decay likelihood is implemented (con_bbn_stau_lifetime likelihood_available unknown).
proposed resolution: Compute the stau freeze-out abundance and electromagnetic/hadronic energy injection from stau -> tau + gravitino and evaluate light-element constraints with a public BBN late-decay code such as ACROPOLIS across the tau_stau-m_stau plane.
Fermionic dark matter with pseudo-scalar Yukawa interaction (arXiv:1408.4929 · score 24)The claimed LUX/XENON100 evasion relies on velocity-suppressed pseudoscalar scattering, but the card records only a partial likelihood and recasting_needed = yes; no implemented non-relativistic EFT recast of xenon limits onto this operator exists in the route.
proposed resolution: Map the pseudoscalar bilinear onto NREFT operators with DirectDM and evaluate xenon likelihoods with DDCalc (or the equivalent micrOMEGAs NREFT module), verifying the nonrelativistic velocity suppression recorded in the validation tests.
Gauged B-L Dirac scotogenic fermion dark matter (arXiv:2102.07216 · score 24)The constraint-recast step relies on quoted thresholds rather than likelihoods: no XENON1T spin-independent likelihood, LEP/LHC dilepton likelihood, invisible-Higgs likelihood, or Delta_N_eff likelihood for the Diracon/right-handed-neutrino decoupling history is packaged for this model.
proposed resolution: Interface the micrOMEGAs output with a direct-detection likelihood package for the XENON1T one-ton-year result, recast the LHC dilepton limit onto the (m_BL, g_BL) plane, and compute Delta_N_eff from the Diracon/nu_R decoupling temperature to apply BBN/CMB likelihoods, including subcomponent rescaling of sigma_SI.
Singlet-doublet Majorana dark matter with Type-I seesaw neutrino masses (arXiv:2106.13857 · score 24)No current spin-independent direct-detection likelihood (XENON1T or successor LZ/XENONnT) is wired into the route; the direct-detection step relies on the paper's figure-level XENON1T comparison, which cannot propagate detector uncertainties or be updated to current exposures.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI output to DDCalc (which ships XENON1T, LZ, and XENONnT likelihoods) so the Higgs-portal recoil rate can be evaluated as a proper likelihood over (m_chi3, Delta M, theta, Y_1).
pNGB scalar singlet dark matter with linear U(1)_X breaking (arXiv:2401.02243 · score 24)The constraint-comparison step lacks an implemented XENONnT SI upper-limit recast (the card explicitly notes the exact limit curve is needed for numerical recast), preventing quantitative exclusion of scan points.
proposed resolution: Digitize the XENONnT SI limit curve and integrate it via DDCalc or micrOMEGAs' direct-detection routines alongside the paper's Higgs-invisible Br<0.11 cut and analytic stability/unitarity flags.
Q4-stabilized scalar dark matter (arXiv:1212.1145 · score 23)The card's cosmological and direct-detection comparisons use the WMAP-era relic interval and XENON100-era exclusion, with no coded modern likelihood, so the viable parameter space cannot be assessed against current data.
proposed resolution: Replace the WMAP band with the Planck Omega h^2 measurement and couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI output to DDCalc with current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods for the 4-1000 GeV scan range.
No-Scale Flipped SU(5) neutralino dark matter with TeV flippons (arXiv:1208.1999 · score 23)All experimental inputs on the card are 2012-era screenings (WMAP7 relic interval, LHC7/8 search context, XENON100-era projections) with likelihood_available no/partial; no modern combined likelihood exists for the strip against Planck relic density, Run-2/3 SUSY searches, and current LZ/XENONnT direct-detection limits.
proposed resolution: Build a modern constraint pipeline: Planck 2018 Omega_CDM h^2 interval, SModelS/CheckMATE recasts of Run-2 multijet and stop searches on the F-SU(5) spectrum, and DDCalc with LZ/XENONnT likelihoods for neutralino-nucleon scattering.
Non-thermal electroweak-phase-transition vector WIMP dark matter (arXiv:1211.5615 · score 23)No current direct-detection or collider likelihood is wired to the model: the higgs_portal_detection_recast constraint is marked recast-required with unknown likelihood availability, so the multi-TeV vector branch cannot be confronted with modern LZ/XENONnT and LHC Higgs-portal limits.
proposed resolution: Couple the analytic SI cross section to DDCalc (or micrOMEGAs' direct-detection module) with current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods, and recast LHC Higgs-portal/monojet limits for a multi-TeV vector using existing simplified-model recast frameworks.
s-channel axial-vector simplified Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1603.01366 · score 23)No reusable statistical likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints: the ATLAS mono-X limits, the spin-dependent direct-detection bounds, and the relic-density target are all recorded with likelihood_available = no, so parameter-space evaluation is limited to digitized exclusion contours.
proposed resolution: Wire published ATLAS/CMS mono-X likelihoods (e.g. HistFactory/pyhf workspaces on HEPData) and a public spin-dependent direct-detection likelihood (e.g. via DDCalc) into the recast chain, and treat the Planck relic abundance as a Gaussian likelihood computed with micrOMEGAs or MadDM.
X-portal scalar MeV dark matter (arXiv:1608.05443 · score 23)No assembled CMB energy-injection and BBN/N_eff likelihood for MeV-scale p-wave annihilation through the X mediator; the velocity-dependent injection at recombination and the N_eff shift from a 10-17 MeV thermal relic are not connected to Planck/BBN data products for this model.
proposed resolution: Couple the model's p-wave sigma-v(z) to DarkHistory/ExoCLASS for the recombination energy-injection likelihood and to a BBN code (AlterBBN or PArthENoPE) for the N_eff and light-element shift from late electron-coupled freeze-out, packaged as a reusable likelihood over (m_phi, e_D, epsilon_f).
N2HDM Full Dark Matter Phase (arXiv:2004.05382 · score 23)No composable likelihood exists for the two-component observables: the Planck relic band and the XENON1T bound are applied only as hard cuts on component-summed and fraction-rescaled quantities, and no component-fraction-aware likelihood (relic fractions times per-component SI cross sections) is supplied.
proposed resolution: Wrap the Planck Omega_c h^2 measurement and the XENON1T SI limit into a joint likelihood that takes per-component relic fractions and cross sections from MicrOMEGAs output (e.g. as a GAMBIT/pippi-style or standalone Python likelihood module), replacing the pass/fail cuts.
Light 2HDM-portal forbidden singlet fermion dark matter (arXiv:2203.05579 · score 23)No combined laboratory likelihood (electron beam-dump such as E137, BaBar-like searches, lepton-flavor observables, and muon g-2) exists for the light leptophilic 2HDM mediator with this model's coupling texture; the card marks the recast as only partial and not reproduced.
proposed resolution: Recast the E137, BaBar, flavor, and Delta a_mu constraints for a light CP-even scalar with the leptophilic 2HDM Yukawa texture (following arXiv:2011.09101) into a joint likelihood over (m_H, y_l, tan beta) consistent with the relic-density scan.
Light 2HDM-portal forbidden scalar dark matter (arXiv:2203.05579 · score 23)No combined laboratory likelihood (E137-type electron beam dump, BaBar-like searches, lepton-flavor observables, and muon g-2) exists for the light leptophilic CP-even mediator with this model's coupling texture; the card marks the recast as only partial and not reproduced in this batch.
proposed resolution: Recast the E137, BaBar, flavor, and Delta a_mu constraints for a light CP-even scalar with the leptophilic 2HDM Yukawa texture (following arXiv:2011.09101) into a joint likelihood over (m_H, y_l, charged-scalar masses) consistent with the relic-density scan.
Z4 fermion FIMP dark matter with singlet scalar mediator (arXiv:2308.05249 · score 23)No packaged direct-detection likelihood exists for the mixed FIMP-WIMP case: the xi_S-rescaled scalar SI cross section is compared only to experiment curves quoted in the paper, with likelihood_available: no.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI output to a public direct-detection likelihood (DDCalc or the LZ/XENONnT likelihoods) with the xi_S abundance rescaling applied, so the stable-scalar case-3 parameter space gets a statistically defined exclusion rather than a curve overlay.
Mirror-sector atomic dark matter with Affleck-Dine reheating (arXiv:2108.11386 · score 22)No joint likelihood analysis exists: all three constraints carry likelihood_available no, so the claimed H0 improvement, the CMB/BAO fit preservation, and the severity of the BBN Y_p/N_eff tension rest on illustrative benchmark spectra rather than posterior contours over the model parameters.
proposed resolution: Couple the Boltzmann implementation from gap_1 to Cobaya or MontePython with Planck, BOSS BAO, SH0ES, and BBN (deuterium plus Y_p) likelihoods, computing BBN-era N_eff and the mechanism's preferred helium fraction consistently, to quantify the H0 gain against the BBN penalty.
Higgs-portal vector dark matter with broken U(1) (arXiv:1412.3823 · score 22)The direct-detection constraint is a digitized LUX-era exclusion, not a current likelihood: no XENONnT/LZ-era recast of the vector Higgs-portal sigma_SI has been performed for this model, which the card flags as required to reassess the EWPT-compatible parameter space.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from the two-mediator (h, s) scalar-exchange amplitude and evaluate it against current LZ/XENONnT limits via a public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc, rescanning the relic-density-compatible points from the primary paper.
s-channel vector simplified Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1603.01366 · score 22)No reusable statistical likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints: the ATLAS mono-X limits, the LUX/xenon spin-independent bounds, and the relic-density target all carry likelihood_available = no, so evaluation relies on digitized exclusion contours rather than statistical combination.
proposed resolution: Adopt published ATLAS/CMS mono-X likelihoods (pyhf/HistFactory workspaces on HEPData) and a public spin-independent direct-detection likelihood (e.g. DDCalc with current xenon-experiment releases), and treat the Planck relic abundance as a Gaussian likelihood computed with micrOMEGAs or MadDM.
U(1) flavor symmetric vector-like fermion dark matter (arXiv:1603.04776 · score 22)The direct-detection step relies on digitized XENON100/LUX limit curves with no statistical likelihood and no update to current tonne-scale xenon data, so the Higgs-portal constraint on Y versus M1 cannot be evaluated at present-day sensitivity.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from the micrOMEGAs implementation and evaluate it against a public direct-detection likelihood such as DDCalc configured with current LZ/XENONnT releases, replacing the digitized XENON100/LUX curves.
Clockwork axion with defect-network cosmology (arXiv:1803.07086 · score 22)No implemented likelihood connects the clockwork parameters (f, f_g, N, q, gear masses, reheating history) to the N_eff and relic-abundance data; the card records only approximate thresholds from the primary paper, with partial recasting needed.
proposed resolution: Implement the route's analytic chain as a small parameter-scan module and evaluate it against the Planck Delta N_eff posterior and the observed Omega_DM h^2 (e.g., as an external likelihood in Cobaya or MontePython), replacing the paper's threshold statements with a proper likelihood.
Classically scale-invariant U(1)_X singlet fermion dark matter (arXiv:1906.03390 · score 22)No implemented likelihood combines the Planck relic-density target with LUX/XENON1T/SuperCDMS SI limits for this model; the card stores only scan-level approximate exclusions and paper-quoted benchmark bounds.
proposed resolution: Wrap the micrOMEGAs output in a DDCalc-based direct-detection likelihood plus a Gaussian Planck Omega_CDM h^2 term (GAMBIT-style), sampling (M_chi, M_2, theta) instead of the paper's fixed-theta benchmarks.
Z3-symmetric NMSSM light singlino funnel dark matter (arXiv:1907.06270 · score 22)The collider constraint exists only as paper-era CheckMATE pass/fail benchmark statuses: no up-to-date recast covering full Run-2/Run-3 electroweakino analyses (including soft-lepton and compressed-spectrum searches sensitive to light-scalar decay modes) is packaged for this scenario, and no continuous likelihood is available for global fits.
proposed resolution: Rerun the NMSSMTools + micrOMEGAs + MadGraph/Pythia pipeline through an updated CheckMATE or MadAnalysis5/SModelS recast that includes current full-luminosity ATLAS/CMS electroweakino and soft-lepton analyses, exporting per-signal-region likelihoods (e.g. via pyhf HistFactory workspaces where published) instead of binary exclusion flags.
Local baryon-number anomaly-cancellation Majorana dark matter (arXiv:2405.03749 · score 22)No LZ direct-detection likelihood or digitized limit curve is available for the spin-independent, partly velocity-suppressed chi-nucleon cross section, so the LZ comparison quoted in the paper cannot be reproduced or updated.
proposed resolution: Implement the current LZ exposure in DDCalc (or digitize the published LZ 90% CL limit) and couple it to the sigma_SI output of the micrOMEGAs implementation, including relic-fraction rescaling for subdominant points.
Linear-seesaw mixed sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:1209.3891 · score 22)No cosmology or direct-detection likelihood is implemented: the relic comparison uses the obsolete WMAP band instead of a Planck-based likelihood, and the nuclear-recoil constraint uses XENON100/CDMS/LUX-era bounds with no current LZ/XENONnT likelihood, including no relic-fraction rescaling.
proposed resolution: Build the likelihood step from public components: a Planck Omega_DM h^2 gaussian for the relic density and DDCalc (or equivalent) with LZ/XENONnT data for sigma_SI, applied to the micrOMEGAs outputs of the scan.
Scale-invariant singlet scalar dark matter (arXiv:1910.13460 · score 22)The singlet-DM relic/direct-detection constraint is only a transfer from a 2014 related scale-invariant model using LUX-era limits; no recast of this model's (M_R, lambda_phiR) plane against current XENONnT/LZ spin-independent limits and the Planck relic density exists, and the card marks likelihood_available as no.
proposed resolution: Implement the two-singlet model in micrOMEGAs, compute Omega_R h^2 and sigma_SI over the RG-consistent parameter set, and apply current direct-detection likelihoods via DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT), validating against the LUX/Planck regions of the related 2014 analysis.
Next-to-new minimal Standard Model singlet scalar dark matter (arXiv:1309.1231 · score 22)No direct-detection or invisible-Higgs likelihood is packaged for this model (likelihood_available: no on all constraints), and the quoted allowed regions use source-era XENON100/LUX sensitivities; current post-LZ limits and LHC invisible-width bounds have not been applied to the R1/R2 and MPCP regions.
proposed resolution: Recast the singlet-scalar (m_S, k) plane through DDCalc or the published LZ likelihood for sigma_SI and through the current ATLAS/CMS invisible-Higgs branching-ratio limit, tied to the micrOMEGAs relic contour.
Dark U(1) vector Higgs-portal dark matter (arXiv:2001.10750 · score 22)No assembled likelihood pipeline connects this dark-U(1) vector Higgs-portal parameterization (M_V, lambda_HVV, alpha, M_H2, relic fraction) to the existing public invisible-Higgs and xenon direct-detection likelihoods; the card lists both as unavailable and the route as planned.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's analytic BR(H -> invisible) into HiggsBounds/HiggsTools (or Lilith) and its sigma_SI, rescaled by the thermal relic fraction from micrOMEGAs 5.0, into DDCalc's XENON1T/LZ likelihoods, e.g. as a small GAMBIT or MontePython model module.
Super-weak U(1) sterile neutrino dark matter (freeze-out variant) (arXiv:2104.11248 · score 22)No up-to-date recast maps the light Z-prime freeze-out band (M_Zprime = 20-200 MeV) onto current laboratory exclusions; the card notes the primary paper predates later beam-dump/collider limits, likelihood_available is 'unknown', and the U(1)_z-specific branching ratios differ from the generic dark-photon case.
proposed resolution: Add the super-weak U(1)_z coupling structure to DarkCast (or an equivalent light-vector recast database) so existing dark-photon/B-L exclusions and future neutral-gauge-boson sensitivities are automatically rescaled to (g_z, M_Zprime), then overlay on the relic-density band.
Bouncing multicomponent singlet fermion-pNGB dark matter (arXiv:2401.01368 · score 22)No two-component direct-detection likelihood: the LZ spin-independent bound must be applied with each component's local density rescaled by Omega_i/Omega_c and with the pNGB Goldstone cancellation at zero momentum transfer, and no such rescaled recast is packaged (card notes the batch did not compute one).
proposed resolution: Extend a public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc with the LZ 2022 exposure, feeding it sigma_chiN_SI from the gap_1 model files and weighting event rates by the component relic fractions from the coupled Boltzmann solution.
LCSUGRA Bino-like neutralino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0509121 · score 22)No direct-detection likelihood or modern recast is wired into the route: sigma_SI predictions for the mixed Bino-Higgsino LSP (10^-6 to 10^-8 pb, paper-era estimate) are never compared against current exclusion data (likelihood_available: no on con_lcsugra_direct_reach).
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI with micrOMEGAs from the spectrum-generator output and attach a public direct-detection likelihood package (DDCalc-style, LZ/XENONnT exposures) to the s4 likelihood step.
LCSUGRA Bino-like neutralino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0509121 · score 22)The linear-collider relic-reconstruction observable has no quantitative forecast likelihood: the factor-of-two reconstruction accuracy is quoted from a related study and no tool maps assumed e+e- mass measurements to a reconstructed Omega_chi h^2 posterior for this benchmark.
proposed resolution: Build a forecast likelihood that propagates assumed linear-collider chargino/neutralino mass uncertainties through micrOMEGAs to Omega_chi h^2, following the hep-ph/0505252 procedure, and attach it to step s4.
E6SSM inert neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1012.5114 · score 21)Spin-independent scattering was compared only to CDMS/XENON100-era cross sections; no pipeline applies modern LZ/XENONnT likelihoods with updated nuclear matrix elements to the Higgs-mediated inert-neutralino rate.
proposed resolution: Feed the benchmark sigma_SI values (recomputed via micrOMEGAs once model files exist) through DDCalc with current xenon-experiment likelihoods to obtain quantitative exclusions on the inert Higgsino admixture.
Split-neutrino right-handed sneutrino inflaton dark matter (arXiv:1201.6189 · score 21)No direct-detection or collider recast exists for the right-handed sneutrino LSP: the card supplies no sneutrino-nucleon cross-section table (sigma_N status unknown), the search_recast step is only planned, and the cited SUSY-search context is generic rather than a model-specific likelihood.
proposed resolution: Using the B-L/MSSM spectrum from the gap_1 implementation, compute the Z'-and-Higgs-mediated sneutrino-nucleon cross section with micrOMEGAs, evaluate against current LZ/XENONnT limits via DDCalc, and recast LHC Z' and superpartner searches with SModelS/CheckMATE.
Broken U(1) Majorana dark matter with short-lived PGB scenario (arXiv:1312.3578 · score 21)No likelihood exists for the direct-detection and invisible-Higgs constraint on f sin(2 theta): the card only encodes paper-level LUX-era exclusion curves (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes), so exclusions cannot be updated to current data or combined statistically.
proposed resolution: Implement the scalar-mixing SI cross section in DDCalc (or micrOMEGAs' direct-detection module) against current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods, and add the ATLAS/CMS Higgs invisible-branching-ratio measurement as a Gaussian likelihood on the portal coupling.
S3 three-Higgs-doublet model with softly split H2^0 inert scalar dark matter (arXiv:1407.4749 · score 21)No digitized direct-detection likelihood is attached: the sigma_SI comparison relies on reading LUX/XENON100 curves from the source figure, which cannot exclude parameter points quantitatively or be updated to current xenon exposures.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI output to DDCalc (or digitized LUX/XENON1T/LZ likelihood curves) with standard halo normalization, registering the result against con_split_h2_direct_detection.
Z3-stabilized scalar dark matter in neutrinophilic THDM (arXiv:1802.08615 · score 21)Direct-detection avoidance is imposed only as a model cut (small lambda_2X and mixing); no spin-independent cross-section calculation wired to a current xenon likelihood exists to delineate quantitatively how much Higgs-portal mixing survives.
proposed resolution: Use the micrOMEGAs direct-detection module on the re-implemented model to compute sigma_SI(m_X, mixing) and confront it with the published LZ/XENONnT likelihood, replacing the hard suppression cut with an actual exclusion contour.
Two-scalar Z2 Higgs-portal dark matter without singlet-only s-s' cross-couplings (arXiv:1906.01823 · score 21)The direct-detection viability is judged by overlaying published LUX2017/XENON1T curves rather than a modern likelihood: no packaged likelihood (e.g. XENONnT/LZ) that accepts sigma_SI, m_s, and the fractional relic abundance has been run for this model, so the quoted window is not statistically updated.
proposed resolution: Rerun the viable window through an existing direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc within GAMBIT) with current LZ/XENONnT data, rescaling by the model's fractional abundance Omega_s/Omega_CDM.
Simplified new Littlest Higgs with T-parity heavy photon dark matter (arXiv:2209.06195 · score 21)No dedicated recast or likelihood exists for the compressed-spectrum signature of T-odd heavy leptons decaying to a single standard lepton plus A_H with mass splittings of only a few tens of GeV; the quoted allowed ranges (M_AH about 450-680 GeV, m_lH about 530-800 GeV) rest on scan-level statements rather than a detector-level analysis.
proposed resolution: Recast ATLAS/CMS compressed-electroweakino and slepton soft-lepton plus missing-energy searches for the vector-like lepton pair-production topology in CheckMATE or MadAnalysis5, producing exclusion contours in the (M_AH, m_lH) plane along the relic-density band.
Light two-Higgs-doublet scalar forbidden dark matter (arXiv:2209.14882 · score 21)No implemented recast maps the Boltzmann-suppressed late-time annihilation and light-scalar couplings onto Planck energy-injection limits and laboratory muon-philic scalar searches; the constraint card cites both only qualitatively with likelihood_available: no.
proposed resolution: Feed the exponentially suppressed late-time annihilation rate through ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for a Planck exclusion, and recast published muon-coupled light-scalar laboratory bounds (g-2, beam dumps, meson decays) into a joint likelihood over (m_H, Y_l, lambda_12).
Deflected anomaly-mediated bino neutralino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0509128 · score 21)All card constraints are WMAP/LEP-era with likelihood_available no or unknown; no assembled modern likelihood stack (Planck relic density, current direct-detection exclusions, LHC recast) exists for this model's parameter plane, so the search_recast step outputs only historical allowed/excluded flags.
proposed resolution: Chain the gap_1 spectrum generator into micrOMEGAs plus DDCalc-style direct-detection likelihoods and SModelS/CheckMATE LHC recasting (e.g. via a GAMBIT-like pipeline), replacing the WMAP window with the Planck relic-density likelihood.
U(1)_R x U(1)_{B-L} extended-gauge sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:1209.3891 · score 21)No likelihood exists to confront the model with current data: the relic comparison uses the WMAP-era band instead of Planck, the direct-detection filter uses XENON100/LUX-era bounds instead of XENONnT/LZ, and no LFV likelihood is implemented for the low-scale-seesaw flavour textures.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs output to a Planck Omega h^2 Gaussian likelihood, to DDCalc (or equivalent) with XENONnT/LZ exposures for sigma_SI, and to FlavorKit/SPheno LFV branching-ratio predictions compared against current mu->e gamma and mu->3e limits, packaged as a scan-ready joint likelihood.
Flavor-specific scalar mediator secluded Dirac dark matter (arXiv:2104.03238 · score 20)No public detector-level recast exists for the cosmic-ray-boosted sub-GeV direct-detection signal of this flavor-specific (down-quark-coupled) scalar mediator model, including flux attenuation in the overburden and XENON1T-like detector response.
proposed resolution: Implement the boosted-flux and attenuation calculation of arXiv:1810.10543 for the down-quark-specific scalar coupling (q^2-dependent form factor from the mediator) in DarkSUSY's cosmic-ray dark-matter routines or a standalone recast, and fold in the XENON1T nuclear-recoil efficiency to produce a reusable likelihood.
CP/PQ scotogenic inert-doublet dark matter with axion component (arXiv:2105.06089 · score 20)The relic-density and direct-detection constraint rests on WMAP-era IDM benchmarks; no updated likelihood scan of this model's 0.9-1.1 TeV inert-scalar region against current direct-detection limits (e.g. LZ/XENONnT) and Planck relic density exists (constraint marked likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes).
proposed resolution: Implement the low-energy inert-doublet limit of this model in micrOMEGAs (via an existing IDM CalcHEP model file), rerun the relic-density and spin-independent cross-section scan over M_etaR and lambda_3/4/5, and confront it with current LZ/XENONnT exclusion curves and the Planck Omega h^2 measurement.
Stable brane-vector dark matter (arXiv:0709.4023 · score 20)All three constraint sets are 2007-era parameter-plane overlays with no reusable likelihood: LEP contours, the WMAP density boundary, and CDMS II/XENON-10 exclusions have not been recast onto current Planck, LZ/XENONnT, and LHC mono-X data for the M_X-F_X plane.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood layer that maps the analytic sigma_XN into DDCalc with current xenon-experiment likelihoods, replaces WMAP with a Planck relic-density Gaussian, and recasts LHC mono-jet/mono-photon EFT limits (with EFT-validity truncation at F_X) in place of the LEP-only collider bounds.
Dynamical R-parity breaking SUSYLR unstable gravitino dark matter (arXiv:0808.1904 · score 20)The BBN constraint on late NLSP decays is qualitative (target lifetime below ~1e2 s quoted); no cascade calculation of electromagnetic/hadronic injection from the neutralino/stau/sneutrino NLSP is implemented for this model.
proposed resolution: Compute NLSP freeze-out abundances and decay injection spectra for the candidate NLSPs and evaluate light-element constraints with a public BBN late-decay code such as ACROPOLIS over the (tau_NLSP, m_NLSP) plane.
SO(10) non-universal-gaugino neutralino dark matter (arXiv:0809.2371 · score 20)No packaged likelihood exists for the constraint-recasting step: the WMAP three-year relic band, LEP mass limits, m_h > 114 GeV contour, and b-to-s-gamma world average are applied only as figure-level contours in the source, and no modern (Planck relic density, LHC Higgs/SUSY, current flavor) likelihood implementation is attached to the route.
proposed resolution: Wire the SOFTSUSY+micrOMEGAs pipeline into an existing global-fit likelihood stack (e.g. GAMBIT ColliderBit/FlavBit/CosmoBit or HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals plus FlavorKit-style flavor likelihoods) and replace the WMAP band with the Planck Omega_CDM h^2 measurement for the SO(10) non-universal gaugino scan.
Gravitino dark matter from GMSB scalar decay at low reheating temperature (arXiv:0909.5108 · score 20)The BBN-motivated low-reheating check requires late-decay light-element bounds as a function of NLSP mass, lifetime, and freeze-out density, but only qualitative literature bounds exist and no machine-readable likelihood or bound table is attached to the route.
proposed resolution: Couple an MSSM spectrum/relic pipeline (SoftSUSY plus micrOMEGAs with a low-reheating modification for the diluted freeze-out) to a tabulated late-decay BBN injection likelihood (ACROPOLIS-style) over NLSP lifetime, yield, and branching fractions.
Scale-invariant hidden-sector pion cold dark matter (arXiv:1012.0103 · score 20)No modern combined likelihood exists for this model: the relic-density, direct-detection, and Higgs-portal viability constraint (con_hidden_pion_higgs_portal_viability) is stated only against WMAP-era targets, and modern LZ/XENONnT limits and LHC Higgs invisible-width measurements were never recast onto the model parameters.
proposed resolution: Build a composite likelihood combining the Planck Omega_CDM h^2 measurement, DDCalc-style LZ/XENONnT spin-independent likelihoods evaluated on the model's sigma_SI, and an LHC Higgs invisible-branching/signal-strength likelihood (e.g. Lilith or HiggsSignals-type recast) on the mixed-scalar sector.
Z3 symmetric scalar semi-annihilation dark matter (arXiv:1202.2962 · score 20)Direct-detection and Higgs-invisible constraints on the mixed singlet-doublet Z3 scalar exist only as XENON100-era context recast from the minimal Z3 singlet model, with no likelihood implemented for the primary model's singlet-doublet-mixed sigma_SI and invisible width.
proposed resolution: Feed the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI for the mixed x1 state into DDCalc with LZ/XENONnT likelihoods and evaluate the invisible Higgs width against current LHC fits via HiggsTools, replacing the recast minimal-Z3 XENON100/40-percent-branching context.
Type-III seesaw plus darkon Higgs-portal dark matter (arXiv:1202.5717 · score 20)The darkon allowed windows on the card rest on historical XENON100 and early invisible-Higgs limits with no likelihood attached (likelihood_available unknown, recasting_needed yes); a recast against current direct-detection and Higgs invisible-width data is not linked to the card.
proposed resolution: Rerun the scalar-singlet (M_S, lambda_SH) plane with micrOMEGAs or the public GAMBIT ScalarSingletDM likelihoods using current LZ/XENONnT and LHC Higgs invisible-width data, and attach the resulting likelihood to the card's constraint.
Classically scale-invariant SU(2)_DM vector dark matter with leptogenesis (arXiv:1605.06834 · score 20)No direct-detection likelihood is implemented for the scalar-portal sigma_SI prediction (likelihood_available: no); the card only quotes source-era limits and projections, so modern LZ/XENONnT data cannot be applied.
proposed resolution: Couple the analytic sigma_SI expression to a public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc or the micrOMEGAs direct-detection module with current LZ/XENONnT exclusion likelihoods, including the destructive scalar-interference regions.
Supersymmetric SU(5) non-universal gaugino neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1711.02560 · score 20)The direct-detection comparison uses only digitized XENON100/LUX2016 exclusion curves and future-reach projections, with no experiment-specific likelihood, so scan points cannot be statistically constrained or updated to current xenon-experiment exposures.
proposed resolution: Couple the MicrOMEGAs sigma_SI/sigma_SD outputs to DDCalc (or the GAMBIT DarkBit likelihoods) with current LZ/XENONnT data, including efficiencies and halo-model settings, and rescale rates by the computed relic fraction for underabundant points.
Scale-invariant two-singlet scalar dark matter (arXiv:1711.11541 · score 20)No current-generation direct-detection likelihood exists for the scalon-portal spin-independent cross section of s-prime; the viability of the multi-TeV region rests on a visual comparison with the 2017 XENON1T 34.2-live-day curve rather than an LZ/XENONnT-era recast.
proposed resolution: Implement the model's sigma_SI (from Higgs-scalon mixing) in a public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc, add current LZ/XENONnT/PandaX-4T likelihoods, and rerun the relic-density-selected scan to re-derive the m_sprime mass floor.
Scalar hexaquark S dark matter (arXiv:1904.09913 · score 20)No likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints (all three card constraints have likelihood_available: no); in particular there is no reusable direct-detection likelihood for a GeV-scale B=2 composite, only detector cross-section scales quoted from XENON/SuperCDMS.
proposed resolution: Once sigma_S-nucleon is derived (gap_1), recast XENON and SuperCDMS light-dark-matter analyses for a 1.2 GeV spin-independent composite with the appropriate nuclear response, and add a thermal pre-BBN freeze-out abundance likelihood tying m_S to the observed relic density.
Multi-moduli nonthermal dark matter with prompt annihilation to dark radiation (arXiv:1906.03025 · score 20)No likelihood is implemented for any of the three constraints (BBN lifetime floor, relic-abundance overclosure, dark-radiation dilution): all cards list likelihood_available: no and recasting_needed for the Planck relic-density and Delta N_eff targets onto the model parameters (m1, m2, branching ratios, <sigma v>_ann).
proposed resolution: Once the Boltzmann solve exists, wrap it in a likelihood that compares the predicted Omega_chi h^2 and Delta N_eff to the Planck 2018 posterior (Gaussian on Omega h^2 and the Delta N_eff bound) and imposes T_reheat > ~5 MeV as a hard BBN cut, exposing (m1, m2, B_2dm, B_2dr, m_chi, <sigma v>_ann) as sampled parameters.
Low-mass weakly coupled B-L gauge boson Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1908.11325 · score 20)Quantitative lifetime-frontier limits (FASER, SHiP, Belle II, LHCb, LDMX) on the freeze-in Z_BL region are unavailable: the paper gives only a qualitative reach overlay and the card lists no long-lived-particle recast with experiment-specific production and geometry.
proposed resolution: Implement the B-L gauge boson (with its generation-universal B-L couplings and invisible chi chi width) in a forward-detector/beam-dump recast framework such as FORESEE for FASER and analogous SHiP/Belle II/LDMX acceptance simulations, producing (g_BL, M_ZBL) reach curves matching the paper's Fig. 7 regions.
Dimension-six real singlet scalar Higgs-portal dark matter (arXiv:2403.01591 · score 20)The EWPT-viable parameter regions have not been jointly evaluated against the scalar-singlet dark-matter likelihoods: no relic-density, LUX/XENON1T/XENONnT direct-detection, or invisible-Higgs likelihood was run over the same (m_S, lambda_HS, c/M^2) points, leaving the Higgs-resonance DM window a qualitative claim.
proposed resolution: Couple the phase-transition scan to micrOMEGAs (relic and sigma_SI) plus DDCalc/GAMBIT ScalarSingletDM likelihoods and the ATLAS/CMS invisible-Higgs limit, checking whether the dimension-six coefficient shifts the standard Z2 singlet results near m_S = m_H/2.
Phion self-interacting scalar dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0103340 · score 20)No assembled modern joint recast exists for the phion parameter space (m_phi, g, g'): the relic, direct-detection, and invisible-Higgs constraints on the card predate the 125 GeV Higgs and were never combined numerically, even though each ingredient tool is public.
proposed resolution: Implement the phion as a micrOMEGAs/MadDM Higgs-portal singlet model at m_h = 125 GeV, scan (m_phi, g') for Omega h^2 and sigma_SI against current LZ/XENONnT limits, and fold in the ATLAS/CMS BR(h->invisible) < ~0.1 likelihood via Lilith or HiggsSignals.
Nonthermal hypercharged multiplet dark matter from reheating (arXiv:1310.7495 · score 20)No implemented direct-detection likelihood exists for elastic Z-mediated scattering of superheavy (1e7-1e11 GeV) hypercharged dark matter: the XENON100 mass floor is only a rescaled 90% CL scaling relation, and modern LZ/XENONnT data with target-isotope (N/Z) dependence and the 1/M_DM number-density suppression have not been recast.
proposed resolution: Implement the multiplet's Z-exchange cross section (as a function of Y, k, and target N/Z) in DDCalc or the micrOMEGAs direct-detection module, extend the analysis mass grid into the superheavy regime where rates scale as 1/M_DM, and evaluate against published XENONnT and LZ likelihoods for xenon plus a germanium/silicon target for the isospin cross-check.
MSSM bino-smuon/selectron co-annihilation dark matter with decoupled staus (arXiv:2104.03290 · score 20)No packaged joint likelihood exists for this model combining the Planck relic-density target, the FNAL/BNL Delta a_mu band (including HVP-input dependence), collider exclusions, and next-generation direct-detection projections; all four constraints carry likelihood_available: no and recasting_needed: yes.
proposed resolution: Assemble a GAMBIT-style composite likelihood wrapping the micrOMEGAs relic output against Planck, a Delta a_mu Gaussian with switchable R-ratio/lattice HVP inputs, the recast collider limits from gap_1, and LZ/XENONnT projection curves for sigma_SI.
MSSM bino-stau co-annihilation dark matter with universal slepton masses (arXiv:2104.03290 · score 20)No packaged joint likelihood exists for this model combining the Planck relic-density target, the FNAL/BNL Delta a_mu band (including HVP-input dependence), collider exclusions, and next-generation direct-detection projections; all data-driven constraints carry likelihood_available: no and recasting_needed: yes.
proposed resolution: Assemble a GAMBIT-style composite likelihood wrapping the micrOMEGAs relic output against Planck, a Delta a_mu Gaussian with switchable R-ratio/lattice HVP inputs, the recast collider limits from gap_1, and LZ/XENONnT projection curves for sigma_SI.
MSSM bino-wino co-annihilation dark matter (arXiv:2104.03290 · score 20)No packaged joint likelihood exists for this model combining the Planck relic-density target, the FNAL/BNL Delta a_mu band (including HVP-input dependence), collider exclusions, and next-generation direct-detection projections; all four constraints carry likelihood_available: no and recasting_needed: yes.
proposed resolution: Assemble a GAMBIT-style composite likelihood wrapping the micrOMEGAs relic output against Planck, a Delta a_mu Gaussian with switchable R-ratio/lattice HVP inputs, the recast collider limits from gap_1, and LZ/XENONnT projection curves for sigma_SI.
Two-Higgs-doublet fermionic singlet-doublet dark matter (arXiv:2301.06476 · score 20)No public combined likelihood or scan pipeline joins relic density, direct-detection blind spots, 2HDM scalar-sector searches, electroweak M_W, and muon g-2 for the singlet-doublet plus 2HDM model, so the paper's joint allowed region and its precision-anomaly interpretation cannot be reproduced or updated.
proposed resolution: Release public model files (FeynRules/SARAH to CalcHEP/UFO) for the singlet-doublet plus Z2-symmetric 2HDM and assemble a scan chain linking micrOMEGAs (relic and sigma_SI/SD), oblique-parameter and Delta a_mu calculators, and scalar-search limit tools into a GAMBIT-style composite likelihood, validated against the primary paper's benchmark allowed regions.
Type-II 2HDMS with pseudoscalar singlet dark matter (arXiv:2308.05653 · score 20)No statistical likelihoods are packaged for the DM-side filters: the Planck relic value and LZ SI limit are applied as pass/fail cuts on scan points rather than as likelihoods (likelihood_available: no for con_2hdms_planck_lz).
proposed resolution: Wire the micrOMEGAs outputs into a Gaussian Planck Omega h^2 likelihood and a public LZ spin-independent likelihood via DDCalc (with sub-abundance rescaling when A_S is a subcomponent) inside a GAMBIT- or MontePython-style scan.
Z2-odd singlet scalar S dark matter with low-scale leptogenesis (arXiv:1012.0285 · score 19)No modern direct-detection likelihood has been applied to this model: the card's only direct-detection constraint is a recast target from a 2009 darkon analysis with XENON10/CDMSII limits at Higgs masses of 120-350 GeV, so the Higgs-portal parameter space (m_S, lambda_HS) has never been confronted with current spin-independent limits.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI for the real singlet S with micrOMEGAs (or the standard analytic Higgs-exchange formula with modern nucleon sigma terms) at m_h = 125 GeV and evaluate it against LZ/XENONnT likelihoods via DDCalc, jointly with the relic-density condition fixing lambda_HS(m_S).
Two-singlet light cold dark matter model (arXiv:1101.0365 · score 19)No direct-detection likelihood is attached: the card compares only against CDMSII/XENON100-era limits and projections, so the light-WIMP parameter space (0.1-100 GeV) has never been confronted with modern LUX/PandaX/XENON1T/LZ exposures.
proposed resolution: Implement the two-singlet model in micrOMEGAs via a FeynRules model file and attach current direct-detection likelihoods through DDCalc (LZ, XENONnT, and low-mass experiments for the sub-10 GeV region), rescanning the paper's (m_0, m_1, lambda) planes.
E(6)SSM inert-neutralino cold dark matter (arXiv:1201.5488 · score 19)The card's constraints are frozen at WMAP-era and 2011-2012 data (XENON100 11.7-day limit, LEP-only Z width, pre-final Higgs couplings) with only partial likelihood availability and no digitized curves, so modern evaluation of the model requires re-anchoring every constraint.
proposed resolution: Wire the computed sigma_SI, Omega h^2, and invisible widths into existing public likelihoods: DDCalc-style LZ/XENONnT spin-independent likelihoods, the Planck relic-density measurement, and current Z/Higgs invisible-width fits, replacing the quoted XENON100/WMAP numbers.
pMSSM Snowmass benchmark 374345: gravitino superwimp (arXiv:1305.2419 · score 19)No packaged likelihood exists for the cosmological constraint set applied to this benchmark (WMAP relic target plus BBN and diffuse photon/neutrino flux limits on late NLSP decay); the card records only a pass/fail paper-era selection.
proposed resolution: Assemble a reusable likelihood module combining the Planck relic-density measurement with published BBN energy-injection and diffuse-flux limits as a function of NLSP lifetime and yield, so the superWIMP benchmark can be scored rather than only flagged allowed/excluded.
Broken U(1) Majorana dark matter with long-lived PGB scenario (arXiv:1312.3578 · score 19)No likelihood exists for the direct-detection and invisible-Higgs constraint on f sin(2 theta): the card only encodes paper-level LUX-era exclusion curves (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes), so exclusions cannot be updated to current data or combined statistically.
proposed resolution: Implement the scalar-mixing SI cross section in DDCalc (or micrOMEGAs' direct-detection module) against current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods, and add the ATLAS/CMS Higgs invisible-branching-ratio measurement as a Gaussian likelihood on the portal coupling.
Two-component singlet scalar-fermion dark matter (arXiv:1406.0617 · score 19)Direct-detection comparison relies on XENON100/LUX-era curves quoted in the paper; no bundled modern likelihood evaluates the fraction-rescaled per-component SI rates (xi_chi sigma_SI_chi, xi_S sigma_SI_S) against current LZ/XENONnT data, including the mediator-interference-suppressed scalar rate.
proposed resolution: Compute per-component SI cross sections from the rebuilt micrOMEGAs implementation and evaluate the summed rescaled recoil rate against public LZ and XENONnT likelihoods via DDCalc, scanning the (M_chi, M_S, M_H2, alpha) space.
Higgsino-like dark matter from right-handed sneutrino late decays (arXiv:1409.2560 · score 19)The direct-detection comparison uses LUX 2013/XENON100 limits with likelihood_available unknown; a refreshed recast against current xenon likelihoods for the almost-pure-Higgsino composition is noted as needed but not implemented.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI/sigma_SD from the SPheno spectrum with micrOMEGAs and evaluate current xenon-experiment likelihoods with DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT-era limits) across the Higgsino-gaugino mixing range.
Singlet-like Majorana WIMP EFT with simplified mediators (arXiv:1604.02230 · score 19)The global profile likelihood combining Planck relic density, LUX/PICO-2L/XENON100 recoil limits, and LEP/LHC simplified-model searches was not released, and its direct-detection and collider inputs are superseded; no current composite likelihood exists for this EFT parameter space.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the global scan in a public framework such as GAMBIT: use DDCalc with current LZ/XENONnT/PICO data for the SI/SD channels, recast current LHC mono-X and mediator searches for the matched s- and t-channel simplified models, and combine with the Planck relic-density likelihood over (m_DM, Lambda, c_a).
Neutralino dark matter in quasi-Yukawa-unified U(1)' extended MSSM (arXiv:1604.06430 · score 19)No direct-detection likelihood or recast against current xenon experiments exists for the scan's neutralino solutions; the source only notes sensitivity, and the higgsino-like 700 GeV region needs evaluation against post-2016 limits.
proposed resolution: Couple the micrOMEGAs sigma_SI output to a public direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc with the current LZ exposure), including halo-fraction rescaling when the neutralino is subdominant, and store the resulting exclusion for the scan regions.
Secretly asymmetric lepton-flavored dark matter with a dark Zprime annihilator (arXiv:1608.04745 · score 19)No direct-detection likelihood exists for the kinetic-mixing nuclear-recoil channel (card: likelihood_available no); the LUX/SuperCDMS/CRESST-II comparison in the epsilon-m_chi plane is only a digitized-bound recast, not a reusable likelihood.
proposed resolution: Implement the light-Zprime-mediated spin-independent recoil rate in a public recast framework (DDCalc or a micrOMEGAs direct-detection module with the epsilon-suppressed vector coupling) and attach the published LUX/SuperCDMS/CRESST likelihood functions.
Approximate-PQ singlino-like light neutralino dark matter in the NMSSM (arXiv:1703.00343 · score 19)No assembled likelihood pipeline exists for this card: the relic constraint is applied as a hard preselection cut (likelihood_available: no) and the LUX/Xenon1T/LZ direct-detection and Z/Higgs invisible-width constraints are only partially available as likelihoods and flagged as needing recasting, so the scan cannot be turned into a statistically rigorous exclusion or posterior.
proposed resolution: Wrap the existing NMSSMTools+micrOMEGAs outputs in public experiment likelihoods: use DDCalc (or the GAMBIT ColliderBit/DarkBit modules) for LUX/Xenon1T/LZ spin-independent and spin-dependent limits, add Gaussian likelihoods for the Planck relic density and the LEP Z invisible width, and the published LHC Higgs-invisible branching-ratio likelihood, then rerun the scan with the combined likelihood.
Majorana fermion dark matter in SU(3) x U(1) gauge-Higgs unification (arXiv:1704.04621 · score 19)The card records likelihood_available: no for the relic/LUX window and only partial for LUX-2016/LZ direct detection, and the constraints were taken as digitized allowed regions rather than statistical likelihoods, so registry-level scans would reuse the paper's window instead of re-evaluating it against current xenon data.
proposed resolution: Attach an existing public direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc with LUX 2016 and LZ datasets) to the sigma_SI output and combine with a Gaussian Planck relic-density likelihood; no new physics derivation is needed.
Pseudo-Dirac-gluino SSM multi-component neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1704.05584 · score 19)The direct-detection and muon g-2 constraints carry likelihood_available: unknown and the relic condition only an approximate likelihood; the LUX/PandaX comparison was done against digitized curves with subcomponent rescaling rather than a statistical likelihood.
proposed resolution: Couple the scan to existing public likelihoods: DDCalc-style xenon likelihoods evaluated on the fraction-rescaled sigma_SI, a Gaussian relic-density likelihood with an upper-limit option for subcomponent points, and the standard muon g-2 discrepancy likelihood.
Minimal vector-fermion multicomponent dark matter model (arXiv:1710.01853 · score 19)Direct-detection constraints were applied only against the LUX2016 bound quoted by the source; no current xenon-experiment (XENONnT/LZ) likelihood with the required per-component local-fraction rescaling has been implemented for this multi-component scenario.
proposed resolution: Wrap the per-component Higgs-portal spin-independent cross sections from micrOMEGAs in a multi-component rescaled-rate calculation and evaluate it against current public xenon likelihoods (e.g. the LZ/XENONnT limits as packaged in DDCalc), replacing the LUX2016 curve.
Stable-inflaton Higgs-portal WIMPflation (arXiv:2107.07472 · score 19)No assembled direct-detection likelihood exists for the stable-inflaton scalar singlet: the card quotes XENON1T/LUX/PandaX limits only qualitatively, so the viability of the two windows (m_phi near 62.6 GeV and 1-5 TeV) cannot be quantitatively re-evaluated against current exposures.
proposed resolution: Connect a micrOMEGAs scalar-singlet computation of sigma_SI to a public direct-detection likelihood package (DDCalc with the current LZ and PandaX-4T datasets) and rerun the exclusion over the (m_phi, lambda_phiH) plane, including the resonance window.
Dimension-six extended-inverse-seesaw Majoron dark matter (arXiv:2304.02399 · score 19)Higgs invisible-width and direct-detection constraints are only recast from simple-Majoron literature: no likelihood maps the extended model's theta_h, Br(h1 -> J J), and Higgs-portal cross sections onto current LHC and direct-detection data (likelihood_available is 'no').
proposed resolution: Compute the extended-sector couplings for each benchmark and run them through HiggsTools (HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals) for invisible-width and mixing constraints plus micrOMEGAs for sigma_SI against current xenon-experiment limits, replacing the simple-model exclusion proxy.
Dark Left-Right Model 2 scotino dark matter (arXiv:1006.3804 · score 18)No current-era likelihood or recast exists for the DLRM2 gauge sector: neither modern spin-independent direct-detection limits (LZ/XENONnT) nor LHC dilepton Z-prime and W_R search results have been mapped onto the m_n, M_Zprime, M_W_R, s_R^2 parameter space, leaving only the 2010 CDMS-II bound.
proposed resolution: Using the UFO model of gap_1, recast ATLAS/CMS high-mass dilepton and W_R resonance searches with MadGraph plus MadAnalysis5/CheckMATE, and evaluate sigma_SI against published LZ/XENONnT limits via DDCalc or the micrOMEGAs direct-detection module.
Spontaneous-CP scotogenic inert-scalar dark matter model (arXiv:2309.04783 · score 18)No likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints: the relic-density plus direct-detection recast and the charged-lepton-flavor-violation constraint on the N1 alternative are all marked likelihood_available: no, so parameter points cannot be statistically scored.
proposed resolution: Assemble a composite likelihood combining the Planck Omega h^2 measurement, published spin-independent direct-detection limits (e.g. via DDCalc), and mu -> e gamma / mu-e conversion limits computed from the scotogenic Yukawa matrices with standard LFV formulae.
t-channel scalar-mediator Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1603.01366 · score 17)None of the four constraints (combined monojet+direct-detection exclusion, mediator pair-production limits, thermal relic target, flavor bounds) has an available likelihood, so the strong no-allowed-region statement cannot be reproduced or updated statistically.
proposed resolution: Combine published ATLAS/CMS monojet and jets+MET likelihoods (pyhf workspaces, reinterpretable via CheckMATE/MadAnalysis or SModelS for the colored-mediator pair channel) with a DDCalc-style direct-detection likelihood and a Planck relic-abundance Gaussian computed with micrOMEGAs or MadDM.
Higgs-portal B-L charged scalar dark matter (arXiv:1802.00009 · score 17)No combined relic-density plus direct-detection likelihood has been assembled or run for this odd-B-L Higgs-portal scalar, so the quoted 'mass above a few hundred GeV' region cannot be reproduced or updated against current data (con_higgs_portal_mass_bound has likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes).
proposed resolution: Implement the (m_chi, c_H) model in micrOMEGAs for Omega h^2 and sigma_SI, and evaluate the current direct-detection likelihood with DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT implementations) plus the Planck relic-abundance constraint, reusing existing public scalar-singlet Higgs-portal global-fit pipelines (e.g. GAMBIT's scalar-singlet study) which cover this identical phenomenology.
Light mixed sneutrino thermal dark matter (arXiv:1008.0580 · score 16)The scan window rests on WMAP5, LEP, and CoGeNT/XENON/CRESST-era data; no modern likelihood recast exists for the few-GeV sneutrino region against current low-threshold direct-detection experiments, Planck relic density, or LHC Higgs-invisible-width limits.
proposed resolution: Recast current low-mass direct-detection results (XENONnT/LZ, DarkSide-50, CRESST-III, SuperCDMS) via DDCalc-style likelihoods, apply the Planck Omega h^2 band, and impose current ATLAS/CMS Higgs invisible branching limits on the A_nu-induced h coupling over the rebuilt model parameter space.
Inverse-seesaw mixed sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:1209.3891 · score 15)No cosmology or direct-detection likelihood is implemented: the relic comparison uses the obsolete WMAP band instead of a Planck-based likelihood, and the nuclear-recoil constraint uses XENON100/CDMS/LUX-era bounds with no current LZ/XENONnT likelihood, including no relic-fraction rescaling.

CMSSM with GUT-scale right-handed neutrino and neutralino-sneutrino coannihilation (arXiv:0902.2510 · score 10)Constraints exist only as the WMAP 2-sigma band (0.0975-0.1223) and LEP-era Higgs/chargino contours with no likelihood implementation; the strip has never been re-evaluated against Planck relic density, the 125 GeV Higgs mass, or LHC electroweak/slepton search limits.
proposed resolution: Replace the WMAP band with the Planck Omega_CDM h^2 likelihood, compute m_h with FeynHiggs or SPheno against the measured 125 GeV value, and recast LHC compressed-spectrum and slepton searches on the strip with SModelS/CheckMATE.

Feebly interacting U(1)_B-L gauge boson warm dark matter (arXiv:2007.04278 · score 32)No public likelihood or detector-response module is identified for keV B-L vector absorption in liquid-xenon electron-recoil data; the card lists likelihood_available as unknown/partial for the XENON1T region and dark-photon limits, and recasting is flagged as needed.
proposed resolution: Build a dark-photon absorption recast using the published XENON1T (and successor XENONnT/LZ) electron-recoil efficiency and resolution, e.g. by extending the wimprates/absorption-rate machinery with the B-L effective kinetic-mixing basis, and overlay digitized solar-emission dark-photon limits on the same (m_Aprime, epsilon) plane.
2HDM portal singlet-doublet dark matter (arXiv:1804.04930 · score 32)No direct-detection likelihood is attached for the XENON1T blind-spot constraint (likelihood_available 'no', contours not digitized), so exclusion statements cannot be reproduced numerically or updated to XENONnT/LZ exposures.
proposed resolution: Couple the model's sigma_SI/sigma_SD outputs to DDCalc (XENON1T, LZ, XENONnT likelihoods), including a relic-fraction rescaling for underabundant points.
Scotogenic inert-doublet scalar dark matter with GUT-baryogenesis washout (arXiv:1806.08204 · score 31)The route provides no machine-readable direct-detection likelihood: the XENON1T comparison is a digitized limit-curve overlay, and the card marks likelihood_available as unknown with partial recasting needed.
proposed resolution: Wire the analytic sigma_SI(lambda_3, m_DM) into an existing public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc (XENON1T/LZ modules) to replace the digitized limit curve with a proper likelihood.
keV hidden photon dark matter for XENON1T and stellar cooling (arXiv:2006.11243 · score 31)Only an approximate fit window exists for the XENON1T electronic-recoil excess interpretation; no public likelihood recasts the hidden-photon absorption line (m_X, epsilon) against the XENON1T 2020 ER spectrum and its background model, and post-2020 reinterpretations (e.g. XENONnT) are not incorporated.
proposed resolution: Implement the monoenergetic absorption signal in a binned Poisson likelihood over the released XENON1T (and XENONnT) ER spectrum with the published background model, exposing (m_X, epsilon, local density) as parameters.
Nucleophilic scalar Co-SIMP dark matter (arXiv:2302.00008 · score 30)No detector-specific likelihoods exist for the monoenergetic conversion-recoil and boosted elastic-recoil signatures; the card records likelihood_available partial/no, only heterogeneous sensitivity curves from the primary paper, and notes that LZ/cosmic-ray, above-ground, and helium sensitivities need detector-specific recasts.
proposed resolution: Build recast likelihood modules for the relevant low-threshold and superfluid-helium detectors (efficiency, threshold, and resolution models applied to the monoenergetic recoil line) and for large-volume detectors sensitive to the boosted flux, packaged so exclusion limits can be updated beyond the primary sensitivity plots.
Cosmic-ray-boosted puffy dark matter with a light mediator (arXiv:2305.12668 · score 30)No detector likelihood or response model is available to turn the attenuated semi-relativistic CRPDM flux into XENON1T (or newer LZ/XENONnT) recoil-spectrum constraints; the current exclusion band is a figure-level comparison that was neither digitized nor rerun.
proposed resolution: Build a recoil-spectrum recast for boosted DM: fold the attenuated flux with the momentum-dependent differential cross section and a public xenon detector response (efficiency and energy resolution from the XENON1T/XENONnT data releases), and implement a Poisson/binned likelihood to reproduce and update the sigma_chiN vs m_chi exclusion bands.
SO(10) mixed singlet-inert-doublet scalar dark matter (arXiv:2403.13529 · score 30)No digitized XENON1T/XENONnT spin-independent limit or likelihood is attached to the direct-detection route, so exclusion status of scan points cannot be evaluated automatically.

Flavor-dependent gauged U(1) inert scalar S dark matter (arXiv:1803.05633 · score 30)The constraint overlay lacks machine-readable likelihoods: the LUX-like spin-independent bound and the LEP/LHC Z' and flavor-coupling bounds are quoted only as formula-level statements in the source, so a modern recast of the allowed scan points cannot be evaluated quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Reconstruct likelihoods from current public data products: xenon direct-detection likelihoods via DDCalc, LHC dilepton Z' limits via a recast framework, and flavor observables (C_9, Delta a_mu, meson mixing) via flavio, then combine them into one scan-level likelihood for the model parameters.
Singlet scalar Higgs-portal dark matter with non-standard expansion (arXiv:1806.11122 · score 29)The direct-detection comparison uses published limit curves rather than experiment likelihoods, so exact exclusion contours with the Omega_S/Omega_DM rescaling from non-standard histories cannot be reproduced; the card marks likelihood_available as only partial with exclusion tables needed.
proposed resolution: Couple the scan to DDCalc (LUX/PandaX-II/XENON1T likelihoods and DARWIN projections), applying the fractional-abundance rescaling of sigma_SI point-by-point to get proper likelihood-based contours instead of digitized limit curves.
Pseudo-Dirac transition-dipole freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2202.13339 · score 29)No public likelihood or spectrum code covers keV-scale exothermic down-scattering electron recoils in xenon for this model: the atomic-ionization response for chi2 -> chi1 de-excitation and a reusable XENON1T/XENONnT electron-recoil likelihood recast are both missing.
proposed resolution: Implement the exothermic dipole-scattering recoil spectrum with xenon atomic ionization form factors in a wimprates/QEdark-style package and wrap it around the published XENON1T electron-recoil dataset (and XENONnT/DARWIN projections) as a reusable likelihood.

Real scalar singlet t-channel portal dark matter (arXiv:2405.09326 · score 29)No direct-detection likelihood (detector response, efficiency curves, or digitized exclusion contours) is attached to the card, so loop-induced rates can only be compared by eye to published bound curves rather than evaluated statistically.

ENMSSM singlino-singlet light neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1010.1789 · score 28)No modern combined likelihood exists for this scenario: the direct-detection target is a CoGeNT/DAMA-era signal region now superseded by null xenon results, and the collider/flavor viability rests on 2010-era LEP/Tevatron/BaBar checks, so the currently allowed (if any) region of the singlino-singlet space is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast scan combining DDCalc-style low-mass xenon/germanium likelihoods, HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals for the 125 GeV Higgs and light-singlet limits, and flavor observables (B_s -> mu mu), driven by the ENMSSM spectrum generator of gap_1.
Kalb-Ramond-like particle dark matter (arXiv:2309.02485 · score 28)No experiment-specific signal models or likelihoods exist for the KRLP laboratory discrimination program: differential recoil rates with angular dependence, fixed-target production rates without kinetic mixing, and helioscope fluxes for the pseudo-vector couplings have not been computed or recast into any experimental likelihood.
proposed resolution: Derive the KRLP differential production and scattering rates for representative experiments (fixed-target dark-photon searches, xenon direct detection with angular recoil observables, helioscopes) from the tensor-current and axial-current operators, and recast them through the experiments' published likelihoods to contrast against dark-photon and ALP hypotheses.
Dark anti-neutron asymmetric dark matter (arXiv:2107.03398 · score 28)No direct-detection likelihood exists for EDM-mediated dark anti-neutron scattering: the dipole interaction through a light dark photon gives a momentum-dependent recoil spectrum that standard published spin-independent xenon limits and stock DDCalc-style likelihoods do not cover, and the card records no modern recast.

Dark anti-proton and dark pion asymmetric dark matter (arXiv:2107.03398 · score 28)No direct-detection likelihood is implemented for the two-component p-prime/pi-prime recoil: light-dark-photon exchange gives a momentum-dependent cross section with component-fraction weighting that published contact-interaction spin-independent xenon limits do not directly cover, and the card logs no public likelihood or recast.
proposed resolution: Extend a xenon likelihood framework (DDCalc or an XENONnT/LZ recast) with the dark-photon-propagator recoil spectrum from the primary paper's formula, summing the p-prime and pi-prime components with their asymmetry-fixed fractions at the 29.9 GeV benchmark.
Light magnetic dipole dark matter (arXiv:1603.05783 · score 27)Direct-detection bounds on the dipole moment mu rest on historical CDMSLite/SuperCDMS/LUX 90% CL curves; no current-generation likelihood (LZ, XENONnT, SuperCDMS SNOLAB low-mass) is implemented for the magnetic-dipole operator at m_chi below about 10 GeV.
proposed resolution: Map the dipole interaction onto the nonrelativistic EFT operators (O1, O4, O5, O6 with the appropriate q^2 and 1/q^2 structure) using DirectDM/DDCalc and evaluate current low-threshold experiment likelihoods to update the mu(m_chi) exclusion.
U(1)_D vector-like singlet fermion dark matter (arXiv:1712.02960 · score 27)Direct-detection status is known only from a digitized LUX line at the M_DM = 5 GeV, theta_Z = 1e-2 benchmark; no likelihood maps (g_D, M_ZD, theta_Z, M_DM) to spin-independent limits across the model's viable GeV-scale masses using current experiments.
proposed resolution: Encode the loop-induced Z-Z_D mixing spin-independent cross section in DDCalc (or an equivalent public direct-detection likelihood package) and evaluate current XENON/LZ and low-mass (CRESST/DarkSide) likelihoods over the g_D-M_ZD-M_DM space instead of the single published LUX comparison.
Singlet Dirac fermion dark matter with Veltman conditions (arXiv:1801.04074 · score 27)No packaged direct-detection or Higgs-invisible likelihood exists for this model, and the exclusion inputs on the card (LUX 2013/2016, XENON100, BR<0.20) are 2018-era, so current-generation constraints cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's sigma_SI output into DDCalc (or an equivalent public direct-detection likelihood package) with current LZ/XENONnT data, and apply the latest ATLAS/CMS Higgs-invisible branching limit as a one-parameter constraint.
Resonant U(1)' Z-prime portal Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:2107.04037 · score 27)The direct-detection comparison uses XENON1T/PandaX-II-era limits that predate current xenon exposures, and no reusable recast exists to confront the model's Z-prime-mediated sigma_SI with LZ/XENONnT data, so present-day exclusion statements cannot be made.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's light-mediator (momentum-dependent) spin-independent cross section through DDCalc or the published LZ/XENONnT efficiency and exposure tables, paying attention to the low-mass mediator propagator suppression, and regenerate the exclusion overlay across the paper's scan ranges.
Right-handed sneutrino dark matter in supersymmetric U(1)_R U(1)_{B-L} seesaw model (arXiv:1209.1465 · score 26)The direct-detection comparison step relies on a historical XENON100-era limit curve; no current-generation xenon (LZ/XENONnT) likelihood or recast, including relic-fraction rescaling for subdominant sneutrino abundance, is implemented for this model.

OHe composite dark atom model (arXiv:1808.06816 · score 26)No detector-level likelihood exists for the OHe radiative-capture signal model (target- and temperature-dependent, no nuclear recoil), so DAMA/LIBRA modulation and cryogenic-detector null results cannot be quantitatively compared.
proposed resolution: Once the capture cross sections from gap_1 exist, build a signal model of OHe thermalization in the Earth plus capture-line spectra per target, and implement it against the published DAMA/LIBRA modulation data and NaI (COSINE-100/ANAIS) and cryogenic null-result likelihoods.
Higgs portal to dark QED (arXiv:1909.07987 · score 26)No statistical likelihood is available for either detection channel: the direct-detection constraint is only an order-of-magnitude epsilon scaling valid in the heavy-mediator limit, with no momentum-dependent treatment for sub-GeV dark-photon masses, and no LHC exotic-Higgs/LLP likelihood exists for the collider channel.
proposed resolution: Extend a public direct-detection likelihood package (DDCalc or the XENON/LZ published likelihoods) with the light-mediator form factor sigma(q) ~ 1/(q^2 + m_Aprime^2)^2 for A'-mediated SI scattering, and wrap the gap_1 acceptance grids together with the invisible/exotic Higgs width measurements into a combined collider likelihood.

Local baryon-and-lepton-number Dirac asymmetric dark matter (arXiv:2103.13397 · score 24)The direct-detection constraint is a quoted TeV-scale threshold from earlier model work, not a recast: no Z_B-mediated Dirac-DM nucleon cross section is computed for this model's charges and no current-experiment likelihood is applied, so the M_DM > 1 TeV boundary is not defensible across mediator masses and couplings.
proposed resolution: Compute the spin-independent Z_B-exchange cross section as a function of (M_DM, M_ZB, g_B) from the model's baryonic charges and evaluate it against current LZ/XENONnT exposures with a public likelihood tool (e.g. DDCalc), replacing the imported 1 TeV rule of thumb.

Mirror-sector dark neutron WIMP-baryogenesis model (arXiv:2401.12286 · score 24)No direct-detection or collider likelihood/recast exists for any concrete mediator benchmark of this model: the mediator sector is left UV-realization dependent, so neutrino-floor comparisons and TeV-scale collider reach statements remain qualitative.

S3 Majorana right-handed-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1911.02255 · score 23)No reusable likelihoods connect the model's predictions to the quoted experimental bounds: LUX(2017)/PICO-60(2017) spin-dependent limits and the MEG BR(mu->e gamma) < 4.2e-13 bound are used only as figure-level comparisons (likelihood_available at best partial).
proposed resolution: Couple the computed sigma_SD to DDCalc's LUX/PICO-60 likelihood modules (or current LZ/PICO successors) and implement the MEG bound as a one-sided Gaussian/Poisson likelihood in a flavor package such as FlavorKit/SPheno output.
Inelastic dark-photon Dirac fermion thermal relic for the XENON1T excess (arXiv:2006.14089 · score 23)No public XENON1T electron-recoil likelihood with the B0 background model is implemented for this model; the spectral fit exists only at the approximate paper level, so the best-fit region in (delta, M_chi, epsilon) cannot be reproduced quantitatively.

Gauged charged complex scalar dark matter with dark Higgs and dark photon (arXiv:2401.10112 · score 22)The direct-detection comparison for Higgs-mediated scattering of MeV-GeV scalar dark matter lacks a likelihood: standard tools are calibrated for heavier WIMPs, and low-threshold nuclear- and electron-recoil limits relevant near the 10 GeV upper edge and below are only available as published exclusion curves.

Vector-like lepton dark matter (arXiv:1207.4235 · score 22)No likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints: the Higgs diphoton fit uses 2012-era data, direct-detection comparisons rely on superseded XENON100/COUPP limits, and the CMS mono-photon spin-dependent bound is not applicable without a dedicated simulation-based recast.
proposed resolution: Build a combined likelihood using a modern Higgs signal-strength fit (e.g. Lilith or HiggsSignals) for R_gamma_gamma, DDCalc with current LZ/XENONnT and PICO likelihoods for SI/SD scattering, and a MadGraph+recast (CheckMATE/MadAnalysis) implementation of compressed-spectrum LEP/LHC charged-lepton searches.
Degenerate millicharged atomic dark matter with hyperfine inelastic scattering (arXiv:1201.4858 · score 22)No inelastic-recoil likelihood exists for the ~15 keV hyperfine (singlet-to-triplet) transition of degenerate atomic dark matter: the only detector comparison is the paper's hand-made CoGeNT/Xenon-era one, so the critical direct-detection observable cannot be evaluated against current experiments.

proposed resolution: Map the model's (epsilon, alpha_D, m_phi, m_V) points to sigma_e with the standard heavy-mediator form factor and evaluate rates with QEdark/DarkELF material responses against current published SENSEI, DAMIC-M, and XENON electron-recoil likelihoods.
Gauged U(1)_X vector Higgs-portal dark matter (arXiv:1802.02947 · score 22)Direct-detection filtering uses the 2018 XENON1T limit curve without relic-fraction rescaling in a packaged likelihood; a current global fit needs post-2018 limits (LZ, XENONnT) applied with Omega_X/Omega_obs rescaling for the subcomponent regions where the GW signal is detectable.

Gauged lepton-number dark-sector CP-violating fermion dark matter (arXiv:1908.04818 · score 22)No likelihoods exist for the model's constraint set: leptophilic Z-prime collider searches, direct detection, and the electron-EDM bound are only quoted parametrically in the paper (likelihood_available is 'no' for both constraints), so no combined viability scan can be run.
proposed resolution: Recast published leptophilic Z-prime search limits (LEP, LHC dilepton), xenon direct-detection limits, and the ACME d_e bound into a joint likelihood over (M_Zprime, gprime, m_chi, q, lambda_SH, eta), including the two-loop EDM estimate from the paper as the EDM observable map.
Effective right-handed sterile-neutrino dark matter with SM gauge interactions (arXiv:2008.05029 · score 22)No public likelihood implements the XENON1T low-energy electron-recoil fit for this model; the allowed (m_N, G_R^l) bands exist only as figures in the paper, blocking numerical recasting and updates with newer xenon (XENONnT/LZ) electron-recoil data.

Next minimal Dirac dark matter model (arXiv:1203.3116 · score 21)The direct-detection status rests on 2012-era CoGeNT/DAMA target regions and XENON100/CDMSII null results; no modern low-mass likelihood (LZ, XENONnT, SuperCDMS, DarkSide low-threshold analyses) has been applied to the 5-15 GeV Dirac candidate, so present-day viability of the critical recoil observable is undetermined.

Hidden-sector self-interacting dark matter with light vector mediator (arXiv:1501.03507 · score 21)Direct-detection bounds on the hidden-visible mixing use LUX/SuperCDMS contact-style recasts (likelihood_available: partial); no likelihood retains the light-mediator 1/(q^2+m_phi^2)^2 propagator shape needed for the peaked low-recoil spectrum.
proposed resolution: Extend DDCalc-style recasts of current xenon and low-threshold experiments with the light-mediator momentum-dependent cross section in (epsilon, m_phi, m_chi, alpha_X).
Accidental real singlet scalar dark matter in scale-invariant local B-L (arXiv:1502.00508 · score 21)No current xenon direct-detection likelihood is wired to this model; the card's exclusion rests on 2013-era LUX/XENON100 bounds quoted by the primary paper, so the surviving lambda_sh/m_S parameter space under LZ/XENONnT is not evaluable.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from the Higgs-portal coupling with f_N = 0.3 and evaluate it against DDCalc (or the published LZ/XENONnT likelihoods) to produce an updated exclusion in the (m_S, lambda_sh) plane.
GeV-scale mixed sneutrino dark matter with Dirac neutrinos (arXiv:1503.06783 · score 21)No low-mass direct-detection likelihood exists for the ~1 GeV sneutrino: the LUX/SuperCDMS comparison uses source-era limits, and modern low-threshold experiments (which dominate at GeV masses where sigma_SI ~ 1e-42 cm^2) have not been recast against this model.
proposed resolution: Extend a DDCalc-style likelihood framework with current low-threshold datasets (e.g. SuperCDMS HVeV/CRESST-III/XENONnT low-mass analyses, including Migdal-effect channels relevant near 1 GeV) and evaluate it on the model's sigma_SI(m_snu1, theta, A_nu).
U(1)_X dark-sector singlet-scalar phi0 dark matter (arXiv:1603.03333 · score 21)The direct-detection and collider constraint step has no wired-in likelihoods: the LUX tension is quoted from the source without a modern recast, and only a partial monojet likelihood is noted for invisible decays of the 750 GeV resonance, so current exclusions on the parameter space cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Couple the reconstructed model implementation to a public direct-detection likelihood (e.g. DDCalc with LZ/XENONnT data) and recast current ATLAS/CMS monojet and resonance searches with CheckMATE or MadAnalysis, replacing the historical LUX and 750 GeV-era inputs.
Electron-flavored Dirac dark matter, Model II (arXiv:1712.00037 · score 21)No packaged direct-detection likelihood evaluates the loop-induced photon form factors of this model against PandaX-II/XENON1T/LUX; recasting_needed is yes and the operator-to-nuclear-response mapping is external to the primary text.
proposed resolution: Match the charge-radius, anapole, and magnetic-moment operators onto the nonrelativistic EFT basis with DirectDM and evaluate with DDCalc's XENON1T/LUX likelihoods plus a PandaX-II module, validating against the primary paper's exclusion contours.
Z2-odd scalar dark matter in the N=1 generalized one-loop neutrino-mass model (arXiv:1801.00585 · score 21)No inelastic scalar-doublet direct-detection likelihood exists for this model: the Z-mediated scattering is kinematically suppressed by the CP-even/odd splitting Delta m_RI, and generic elastic WIMP-nucleon limits (e.g. the quoted XENON1T benchmark) cannot be applied without an inelastic recast of the detector response.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing direct-detection recast framework (e.g. DDCalc or a likelihood package with XENON1T/LZ response tables) to inelastic kinematics with splitting Delta m_RI ~ 100 keV plus the residual Higgs-portal elastic channel, producing a joint likelihood in (M_X, Delta m_RI, lambda_HX).
Minimal scotogenic model with inert scalar dark matter (arXiv:1802.00007 · score 21)The direct-detection constraint is only partially served: XENON1T/PandaX-II limits are cited but recasting_needed is 'yes' and only a partial likelihood exists, so the sigma_SI prediction cannot be turned into a statistically well-defined constraint on the quartics and mass splitting.
proposed resolution: Wire the analytic Higgs-portal sigma_SI into a public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc (XENON1T and later LZ implementations), including the model's mass-splitting-dependent inelastic thresholds where relevant.
Dark U(1)_X Majorana WIMP for b -> s anomalies (arXiv:1806.05967 · score 21)No bundled or portable likelihood exists for either the flavor fit (R_K, R_K*, B_s -> mu mu, B_s mixing — whose world averages have shifted since the paper) or the direct-detection exclusion (only XENON1T benchmark contours were read); both constraints are flagged recasting_needed.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's Wilson coefficients into flavio/smelli for a current global b -> s ll and B_s-mixing likelihood, and pass the sigma_SI predictions through DDCalc with XENON1T/XENONnT/LZ likelihoods, exposing a combined flavor+relic+direct-detection likelihood over (M_-, g_X, theta_H, m_H2, lambda_q, lambda_l).
Charged-current fermionic absorption dark matter (arXiv:1905.12635 · score 21)No experiment-level likelihood exists for the charged-current absorption event topology (prompt electron plus nuclear recoil with de-excitation or delayed daughter-decay tags) in xenon/argon or neutrino detectors; only qualitative sensitivity reach is available.
proposed resolution: Build a recast likelihood from published detector data (e.g. XENONnT/PandaX-4T electron-recoil and delayed-coincidence datasets) including a detector response and timing model for the multi-component topology, packaged as a Poisson/profile likelihood over (m_chi, Lambda_CC).
Dark-photon-mediated inelastic scalar dark matter (arXiv:2006.11938 · score 21)No packaged XENON1T electronic-recoil spectral likelihood or dark-photon laboratory/cosmology exclusion likelihood is available in the card (likelihood_available partial/no); both the signal-region fit and the viability bounds were not rerun.
proposed resolution: Build a binned XENON1T ER likelihood from the public data release and combine it with Darkcast-recast dark-photon search limits plus lifetime/energy-injection bounds into a single scan-ready constraint module for the (m1, delta, m_A', epsilon, g_D) space.
SU(2)_D complex vector dark matter with electromagnetic multipole moments (arXiv:2007.03216 · score 21)Experiment-specific likelihoods and efficiency tables for XENON1T, SuperCDMS, PICO-60, and CRESST-III are not bundled with the route, so exclusion contours can only be reproduced approximately from digitized 90% C.L. curves.
proposed resolution: Assemble published efficiency curves and exposures into binned Poisson likelihoods for the four experiments and validate against the paper's XENON1T and CRESST-III limit curves before scanning model parameters.
Scotogenic inert scalar dark matter with Z2-odd vector-like quarks (arXiv:2204.01214 · score 21)No statistical likelihoods are implemented for any of the card's constraints (likelihood_available is 'no' for the HL-LHC FCNC sensitivity, XENON1T SI limit, and Higgs signal strengths); comparisons are single-number limit checks requiring manual recasting.
proposed resolution: Wire the analytic sigma_SI into DDCalc for a proper XENON1T likelihood, encode the quoted ATLAS/CMS/HL-LHC rare-top BR sensitivity tables as a simple Gaussian/Poisson likelihood, and use Lilith or HiggsSignals for the Higgs signal-strength constraint.
SU(6)/SO(6) composite pNGB singlet dark matter with dark top partners (arXiv:2302.07204 · score 21)No direct-detection likelihood exists for the spin-independent pNGB-nucleon cross section; only phenomenology-level bound comparisons are available, including the momentum-suppressed shift-symmetric regime.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from C_hS and f using standard nucleon matrix elements and wire it into DDCalc-style likelihoods for LZ/XENONnT, including the derivative-portal momentum suppression of the pNGB coupling.
Dark-sector seeded Nelson-Barr scalar WIMP (arXiv:2303.00705 · score 21)No machine-readable LZ/XENONnT/DARWIN likelihood or digitized exclusion contour is attached for the sigma_SI recast; the paper's direct-detection comparison exists only as an undigitized figure.
proposed resolution: Couple the model's sigma_SI output to DDCalc (or digitized LZ 2022 and projected XENONnT/DARWIN curves) to produce reproducible pass/fail limits over (m_eta1, portal couplings).
Type-II radiative scalar triplet dark matter with vector-like lepton doublets (arXiv:2307.10898 · score 21)No reusable XENONnT solar-neutrino electron-recoil likelihood for transition magnetic moments is available: the paper's chi-square analysis, including solar flux, oscillation, detector efficiency, and energy-smearing assumptions, is not released as code, so the mu_alpha_beta bounds cannot be recomputed or updated.
proposed resolution: Implement the XENONnT electron-recoil binned likelihood (published efficiency and resolution curves, B8/Be7/pp solar fluxes with standard oscillation probabilities) as an open module, e.g. within a direct-detection likelihood framework, exposing transition magnetic moments mu_e_mu, mu_e_tau, mu_mu_tau as inputs.
Type-II seesaw asymmetric Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1910.12762 · score 21)The Higgs-portal parameter space (alpha, lambda_DM, M_h2 at M_chi=7.76 GeV) has only 2019-era LUX/XENON and LHC Higgs contours; no recast against current XENONnT/LZ spin-independent limits and updated Higgs invisible-width/signal-strength measurements exists.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI and Br_inv from the mixed-scalar couplings and recast with public likelihoods (e.g. DDCalc for LZ/XENONnT and Lilith or HiggsSignals/HiggsBounds for the Higgs sector), reproducing the source's allowed white region as validation.
Composite Inelastic Dark Matter (arXiv:0903.3945 · score 20)No reconstructed DAMA annual-modulation likelihood exists for the CiDM fit, and the XENON10 high-recoil constraint is available only as a published exclusion contour rather than a reusable likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a binned DAMA/LIBRA modulation likelihood from the released modulation spectra and digitize/refit the XENON10 75-keVnr iDM analysis into a Poisson likelihood, so DAMA-favored and xenon-excluded regions can be compared statistically for CiDM parameters.
Hypercharge Impure Split Dirac Supersymmetry Higgsino dark matter (arXiv:1405.3692 · score 20)No detector-level inelastic direct-detection likelihood for the pseudo-Dirac Higgsino: existing xenon recast codes implement elastic kinematics, so the delta m ~ 200-250 keV inelastic threshold suppression (velocity integral over the upscattering-allowed tail, detector recoil threshold below ~50 keVnr) cannot be evaluated quantitatively against current xenon data.
proposed resolution: Extend a public xenon likelihood code (DDCalc-type) with inelastic dark matter kinematics — minimum velocity v_min(E_R, delta m) in the velocity integral — and produce exclusion contours in the (mu, delta m) plane for LZ/XENONnT exposures.
S3 three-Higgs-doublet model with degenerate CP-even inert scalar dark matter (arXiv:1407.4749 · score 20)No digitized direct-detection likelihood with component-fraction scaling is available: the LUX/XENON comparison is read from the source figure and the recast assumption that recoil rates scale with the local H2^0/H3^0 fractions is not implemented anywhere.
proposed resolution: Build a two-component recoil-rate recast that weights each component's sigma_SI by its relic fraction and feeds it into DDCalc or digitized xenon-experiment likelihood curves, registered against con_degenerate_direct_detection.
Fermionic U(1)_X dark matter with Higgs charge and kinetic mixing (arXiv:2308.12663 · score 20)The direct-detection comparison is a limit-curve overlay: no xenon (LZ/XENONnT) likelihood is wired to the model's isospin-violating sigma_SI prediction (likelihood_available: partial, recasting_needed: yes), so the tuned proton/neutron cancellation region cannot be statistically assessed.
proposed resolution: Couple the model's per-nucleon couplings (f_p != f_n) to a public direct-detection likelihood package such as DDCalc, which handles isospin-violating couplings, and rerun the epsilon-q_H scan with the current LZ/XENONnT exposures.
U(1)_X three-Higgs-doublet neutral fermion dark matter (arXiv:1201.0364 · score 20)No direct-detection likelihood is available for the spin-dependent Z-prime scattering signal: the card's only comparison is the 2012-era Xenon100 limit, and modern spin-dependent xenon likelihoods (LZ, XENONnT) have not been recast onto this model's (M_DM, M_Zprime, g_X) parameterization.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's sigma_SD onto current published spin-dependent limits using DDCalc (or the LZ/XENONnT public likelihood tables), driven by the sigma_SD output of the gap_1 scanner.
Spin-3/2 effective dark matter (arXiv:1201.0506 · score 20)The direct-detection exclusions rest on XENON100/CDMS-era limits with no likelihood; no recast of the operator-dependent SI and SD cross sections onto modern xenon exposures (LZ, XENONnT) exists for this model's (M, G_i^f, operator) parameterization.
proposed resolution: Map each operator's nonrelativistic nucleon response onto DDCalc/current LZ and XENONnT likelihoods, reproducing the paper's XENON100 exclusion of flavor-universal operators 5 and 9 as a validation test.
U(1)' extra doublet neutral fermion cold dark matter (arXiv:1201.5934 · score 20)No direct-detection likelihood is available for the doublet candidate's gauge-mediated spin-independent scattering: the card relies on a rescaled 2011 XENON100 limit (likelihood_available: no) and modern xenon limits were never applied.
proposed resolution: Implement the Z'- and Z-mediated nucleon cross section in a public direct-detection recast tool such as DDCalc and evaluate against current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods, checking the strong Z-exchange bound on an unsplit electroweak doublet.
TeV-scale electroweak multiplet gauge-portal dark matter for Higgs stability (arXiv:1210.0491 · score 20)No ready direct-detection likelihood recast exists for this model family: the loop-level gauge-mediated spin-independent cross section and the lambda_eff Higgs-portal contribution for each candidate multiplet have not been assembled into a current-experiment likelihood pipeline.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI per representation (loop-level electroweak plus lambda_eff portal terms) and evaluate against current xenon-experiment limits through a public likelihood tool such as DDCalc, scanning (M_EW, n, Y, lambda_eff).
Scale-free electroweak-baryogenesis singlino dark matter (arXiv:1410.5432 · score 20)The Higgs-resonant singlino region is only checked against paper-era direct-detection prospects (XENON1T testability); no current-generation (LZ/XENONnT) direct-detection recast or likelihood is attached, although the SI cross section itself is analytic.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from the lambda_eff h s s coupling with standard nuclear form factors and compare the (m_s ~ 60 GeV, lambda_eff ~ 0.01) region against published LZ/XENONnT limit curves, optionally via a public direct-detection likelihood package.
Higgs-portal self-interacting dark matter with light scalar mediator (arXiv:1411.3730 · score 20)Direct-detection exclusion of the light-mediator scenario is only partially available: existing LUX/SuperCDMS-style limits assume contact interactions, and no recast with the q^2-dependent light-scalar propagator plus detector efficiency and threshold curves exists for this model.
proposed resolution: Extend DDCalc (or an NREFT framework such as DirectDM+DMFormFactor) with the light-mediator momentum-dependent cross section and published efficiency/threshold curves for current xenon and low-threshold experiments, producing likelihoods in (m_X, m_phi, portal mixing).
Unitarity-consistent spin-1 s-channel Dirac dark matter model (arXiv:1603.01267 · score 20)No implemented statistical recast combines mono-W, monojet, and dijet LHC signal regions with the isospin-violating direct-detection amplitude for this model; the card marks collider and direct-detection likelihoods as not run and the collider likelihood as only partially available, with mono-W signal regions absent from standard recast suites.
proposed resolution: Implement the ATLAS/CMS mono-W (hadronic and leptonic) signal regions in a public recast framework such as MadAnalysis5 or CheckMATE alongside existing monojet/dijet analyses, and couple the resulting collider likelihood to a direct-detection likelihood evaluated with the model's isospin-violating nucleon couplings for a combined exclusion.
vector-like sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:1604.01903 · score 20)No direct-detection likelihood is available for this model: only the original LUX limit curve was used, and the inelastic-splitting suppression of Z exchange requires kinematics beyond a standard elastic SI recast against modern xenon data.
proposed resolution: Recast the Higgs-mediated elastic SI cross section through DDCalc with current LZ/XENONnT data, and add an inelastic-DM rate calculation (minimum-velocity shift for Delta m_snu ~ 100 keV) to verify Z-exchange suppression against the same datasets.
Gauged U(1) vector-like quark model with inert scalar dark matter (arXiv:1702.02699 · score 20)The direct-detection constraint uses only the outdated LUX upper limit as a hard cut; no modern (LZ/XENONnT-era) likelihood recast of the loop-induced Z-prime spin-independent scattering exists.
proposed resolution: Recast the loop-induced sigma_SI prediction through DDCalc (or the experiments' published likelihoods) for current LZ/XENONnT exposures, replacing the fixed 2.2e-46 cm^2 LUX cut.
Kinetically mixed L_mu-L_tau Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1803.05723 · score 20)Xenon direct-detection limits are published assuming equal proton/neutron couplings, while the kinetic-mixing-induced Z/Z' couplings here are isospin-violating; the card flags this normalization issue and records likelihood_available: no, so no likelihood correctly maps the model's sigma_SI onto XENON1T/XENONnT/DARWIN curves.
proposed resolution: Use DDCalc (or an equivalent xenon likelihood package) with the model's per-nucleon couplings f_p and f_n computed from the mixed Z/Z' vertices, rather than rescaled published sigma_SI curves, and package this as a reusable likelihood for the scan.
Neutral-current fermionic absorption dark matter (arXiv:1905.12635 · score 20)No detector-level likelihood is interfaced for the absorption line signatures: nuclear-recoil constraints exist only as projected sensitivity curves, and the PandaX-4T electron-recoil constraint is available only as a published recast without a reusable likelihood, so limits on Lambda_NC cannot be recomputed for new parameter points or combined across targets.
proposed resolution: Build simplified Poisson/binned likelihoods from public data releases (PandaX-4T low-energy electron recoils; xenon/argon nuclear-recoil efficiency and background tables) for a monoenergetic deposit at the m_chi-set energy, and package them as registry likelihood modules keyed to (m_chi, Lambda_NC).
Low-mass weakly coupled B-L gauge boson Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1908.11325 · score 20)No ready direct-detection likelihood handles the light-Z_BL regime: the card flags that below the recoil-momentum scale the contact approximation fails, and likelihood_available is unknown for the XENON1T/DarkSide-50/LUX/PandaX-II constraints.
proposed resolution: Extend a public direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc) with the M_ZBL-dependent propagator form factor (1/(q^2 + M_ZBL^2))^2 and recast the published XENON1T, DarkSide-50, LUX, and PandaX-II limits onto the (g_BL g_chi, M_ZBL, m_chi) space.
Pico-charged particles from dark matter decay (arXiv:2007.14421 · score 20)No XENON1T electron-recoil likelihood exists for the relativistic pico-charged C scattering spectrum, so the bound f < 1.5e-6 (and its sensitivity to the lowest energy bin) cannot be reproduced or updated with XENONnT data.
proposed resolution: Compute the C-electron t-channel photon/dark-photon exchange recoil spectrum, fold it with the published XENON1T ER efficiency and background model to reconstruct a binned likelihood, and reproduce the f ~ 1.5e-6 (all bins) versus ~1e-5 (lowest bin excluded) bounds before extending to XENONnT.
Muon-g-2 Model I Higgs-coupled Majorana WIMP (arXiv:2204.02413 · score 20)No direct-detection likelihood is implemented for the tree-level Higgs-mediated sigma_SI (likelihood_available is 'no'; the paper only summarizes limit curves), so the direct-detection constraint is a by-eye limit comparison rather than a statistical recast.
proposed resolution: Feed the analytic Higgs-exchange sigma_SI into DDCalc (or the published LZ/XENONnT likelihoods) to obtain proper exclusion statistics over the m_DM and y_1H, y_2H benchmark plane.
Sub-GeV hadrophilic UV freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2210.15653 · score 20)No likelihood or recast pipeline exists for the sub-GeV hadrophilic nuclear-recoil predictions: current flagship direct-detection likelihoods lose sensitivity below ~10 GeV and the future low-threshold targets (1e-45 to 1e-43 cm^2) are only projection curves, not evaluable statistics.
proposed resolution: Assemble a low-threshold detector recast (e.g. via a DDCalc-style extension with sub-GeV nuclear-recoil response and Migdal channels for existing data, plus parameterized sensitivity curves for proposed kg-year experiments) mapped to the model's sigma_chi-n after relic matching.
SU(6)/Sp(6) composite pNGB complex singlet dark matter with dark top partners (arXiv:2302.07204 · score 20)No direct-detection likelihood exists for the spin-independent complex-pNGB-nucleon cross section; only phenomenology-level bound comparisons are available, including the momentum-suppressed shift-symmetric regime.
proposed resolution: Compute sigma_SI from C_hS and f using standard nucleon matrix elements and wire it into DDCalc-style likelihoods for LZ/XENONnT, including the derivative-portal momentum suppression of the pNGB coupling.
Low-reheating dark-photon freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2405.06226 · score 20)No machine-readable direct-detection likelihoods are wired to this model: electronic-recoil (DAMIC-M, DarkSide, PandaX, SENSEI, XENON1T) and nuclear-recoil (PandaX, XENON1T) constraints are applied as digitized exclusion curves for the ultralight-mediator (1/q^4 form factor) cross section, preventing statistically consistent parameter scans.
proposed resolution: Assemble the published experimental efficiency/exposure data into reusable likelihoods — e.g. implement the light-mediator form factor in DDCalc/obscura-style electron- and nuclear-recoil rate codes and couple them to the released exclusion data of each experiment.
Inelastic vector-exchange isospin-violating dark matter (arXiv:1108.1391 · score 20)No public direct-detection likelihood implements pseudo-Dirac inelastic scattering (delta ~ 5 keV splitting) with the isospin-violating f_p/f_n ~ -1.5 interference of a kinetically mixed Z-prime and a baryonic vector, evaluated consistently across sodium-iodide, germanium, and xenon targets, so neither the DAMA/CoGeNT window nor the XENON10-style inelastic constraint can be recomputed.
proposed resolution: Extend a public DD likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc) with inelastic minimum-velocity kinematics and per-nucleon coupling ratios, add the historical DAMA modulation, CoGeNT, and XENON10 datasets plus modern LZ/XENONnT exposures, and rerun the M ~ 8 GeV, delta ~ 5 keV benchmark fit.
Z3 inert doublet-singlet scalar dark matter (arXiv:2312.04627 · score 20)The relic-plus-direct-detection viability step relies on recasting published XENON1T/PandaX-4T/LZ curves; no current xenon-detector likelihood is connected to the model's predicted sigma_SI and relic-fraction rescaling.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's sigma_SI and Omega-rescaled local density into DDCalc (or the LZ public likelihood) so the direct-detection constraint is evaluated as a likelihood rather than a digitized-curve cut.
Light-smuon GUTc-NMSSM neutralino dark matter (arXiv:2312.17523 · score 20)The exact scan configuration and combined likelihood are not released: the paper's cuts (Omega h^2 < 0.131, 2023 muon g-2 window, LZ/XENONnT acceptance) are applied as tool-level pass/fail selections with no public combined likelihood or input files, so the surviving light-smuon sample cannot be exactly reproduced or reweighted.
proposed resolution: Reconstruct the scan as NMSSMTools input files with the quoted GUT-scale ranges and the m_smuon1 < m_stau1 selection, and package the constraint chain as a composite likelihood (e.g. in a GAMBIT- or EasyScan-style wrapper) so the paper's acceptance cuts become reproducible and reweightable.
Thermal leptophilic Majorana dark matter with CP-even scalar mediator (arXiv:2404.02906 · score 20)Existing bounds (LEP, Belle II invisible-scalar searches, muon g-2, electron recoil, NA64-mu) and future projections (M3, FCC-ee Z-pole, TeV muon collider) exist only as non-reusable recast/projection contours; no machine-readable likelihood or efficiency tables for tau/muon-associated missing-energy searches in this model are available.
proposed resolution: Digitize the paper's exclusion and projection contours into interpolable limit tables as an interim step, and rebuild the key recasts (Belle II tau tau plus missing energy, NA64-mu missing momentum) with published efficiencies in a MadGraph plus Delphes pipeline to produce reusable per-point likelihoods.
Minimal non-SUSY SO(10) scalar 16 dark matter (arXiv:0907.1894 · score 19)The direct-detection constraint is a WMAP-era projection with likelihood_available 'no': the predicted TeV-scale sigma_SI floor has never been confronted with modern xenon exclusion likelihoods, so whether the model's most predictive region survives is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Map the (M_DM, lambda_eff) plane from the updated scan through the analytic Higgs-exchange sigma_SI and evaluate it against public XENONnT/LZ likelihoods via DDCalc, replacing the historical 2e-43 cm^2 lower-bound target with a current allowed/excluded region.
Affleck-Dine radiative neutrino mass model with two dark matter components (arXiv:1101.2704 · score 19)No direct-detection likelihood handles the multi-component setup: applying published single-component limits requires rescaling by the neutralino fraction of the local density, and neither the fractions nor a detector likelihood evaluation exists for this model.
proposed resolution: Once component fractions are available from the model implementation, evaluate current xenon-experiment likelihoods via DDCalc with the neutralino scattering rate scaled by Omega_neutralino/Omega_DM, treating the leptophilic N_1 component as negligible for nuclear recoils.
Indirect fermionic Higgs portal dark matter (arXiv:1203.2064 · score 19)Only XENON100-era direct-detection limits and pre-precision Higgs data back the card's constraints (likelihood_available is approximate for both), so the indirect-portal viability region has no modern LZ/XENONnT direct-detection or Higgs signal-strength/invisible-width likelihood attached.
proposed resolution: Recast the Higgs-mixing-suppressed spin-independent cross section against current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods via DDCalc, and apply HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals (or Lilith) to the mixing angle and any exotic Higgs decays to update the allowed region.
Resonant scalar fermionic Higgs portal dark matter (arXiv:1203.2064 · score 19)The card's constraints use XENON100-era direct-detection bounds and early 2012 Higgs-signal information with only approximate likelihoods, so no modern Higgs invisible-branching likelihood or LZ/XENONnT direct-detection likelihood is attached to the narrow resonant allowed region, which is precisely the region most sensitive to such updates.
proposed resolution: Apply current ATLAS/CMS Higgs invisible-width limits via HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals to BR(h -> chi chi) below threshold, and recast the mixing-suppressed spin-independent cross section against LZ/XENONnT likelihoods with DDCalc to re-derive the surviving resonance window.
Scotogenic inverse seesaw scalar dark matter (arXiv:1408.4785 · score 19)No reusable likelihood exists for the combined Higgs-invisible-width plus xenon direct-detection selection: the card carries only the 2013 LUX minimum upper limit (7.6e-46 cm^2 at 33 GeV) and a quoted invisible-width bound, with no digitized curves to exclude arbitrary (m_S, lambda_hS) points or to update to current exposures.
proposed resolution: Attach DDCalc (or digitized LUX/XENON1T/LZ likelihoods) for the sigma_SI limit and a public Higgs invisible-width likelihood (Lilith or HiggsSignals/HiggsBounds) to con_scotogenic_higgs_invisible_lux_window, so the allowed Higgs-portal window can be recomputed with current data.
Multicomponent OHe and UU dark atoms (arXiv:1411.3657 · score 19)No DAMA/LIBRA annual-modulation likelihood exists for the OHe radiative-capture signal (few-keV sodium capture), nor a recast framework mapping OHe capture rates onto CDMS/XENON/LUX null results for slowed composite atoms.
proposed resolution: Once capture-rate tables exist (gap_1), implement a detector-level modulation likelihood for DAMA NaI and a temperature-dependent capture recast for cryogenic and xenon experiments, extending an existing direct-detection framework such as DDCalc with a capture-signal channel.
High-scale SUSY light neutral higgsino dark matter (arXiv:1701.06947 · score 19)The direct-detection observable has no experiment likelihood attached: the suppressed SI/SD cross sections are computed analytically but only compared qualitatively to then-current experiments, with no modern (LZ/XENONnT-era) statistical comparison including the neutrino fog.
proposed resolution: Attach a DDCalc-style implementation of current LZ/XENONnT SI and SD likelihoods to the analytic mixing-suppressed cross sections over (mu, M1, M2), reporting exclusion versus neutrino-fog-limited reach.
Bino-right-handed-sbottom co-annihilation model (arXiv:1703.02977 · score 19)The combined LHC compressed-sbottom plus direct-detection constraint has no implemented likelihood: exclusions depend on experiment-specific acceptance maps for near-degenerate spectra (likelihood_available: partial, recasting_needed: yes), so the interplay region near the neutrino floor cannot be evaluated statistically.
proposed resolution: Recast LHC Run 2 compressed-spectrum sbottom searches with CheckMATE or SModelS using the published efficiency maps for small mass splittings, and combine with a DDCalc-based spin-independent likelihood for the loop-induced bino-nucleon cross section into one joint likelihood over (m_X, Delta m).
Bino-right-handed-stop co-annihilation model (arXiv:1703.02977 · score 19)The combined LHC compressed-stop plus direct-detection constraint has no implemented likelihood: exclusions depend on experiment-specific acceptance maps for near-degenerate stop-bino spectra (likelihood_available: partial, recasting_needed: yes), so the interplay region near the neutrino floor cannot be evaluated statistically.
proposed resolution: Recast LHC Run 2 compressed-spectrum stop searches (soft-lepton, monojet, and four-body decay channels) with CheckMATE or SModelS using published small-splitting efficiency maps, and combine with a DDCalc-based spin-independent likelihood into one joint likelihood over (m_X, Delta m).
Charged leptophilic dark electron model (arXiv:1812.02182 · score 19)The laboratory recast step has no likelihoods: the magnetic-moment-induced direct-detection estimate is order-of-magnitude only (no LUX/XENON detector likelihood for the loop-induced coupling) and no LEP/ILC collider recast exists for the charged scalar and dark electron.
proposed resolution: Derive the loop-induced magnetic-moment scattering cross section and recast it through public direct-detection likelihoods (e.g. DDCalc with LUX/XENON data), and implement the charged-scalar pair-production channel in a collider recast framework for LEP limits and ILC projections.
Hadrophilic scalar-mediator sequential freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2005.06294 · score 19)No packaged direct-detection recast handles the light hadrophilic scalar's momentum-dependent (long-range) DM-nucleon cross section; published XENON1T likelihoods and standard recast tools assume contact interactions, so the m_phi-dependent recoil spectrum must be redone by hand.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing direct-detection recast code (e.g. DDCalc) with the 1/(q^2 + m_phi^2)^2 propagator form factor and the paper's scalar-nucleon/pion low-energy matching, exposing (m_chi, m_phi, y_q y_chi) as inputs against XENON1T and CRESST-style likelihoods.
Z3 leptophilic complex scalar dark matter with vector-like lepton mediator (arXiv:2203.09282 · score 19)Direct-detection exclusions rely on comparing the one-loop charge-radius and tree-level Higgs-portal cross sections to published XENON1T upper limits; no detector likelihood is applied (likelihood_available: no), so combined scans and boundary shifts cannot be evaluated properly.
proposed resolution: Implement the loop-induced charge-radius operator coefficient C(m_e, m_VLL) and the lambda_SH Higgs-portal amplitude as effective couplings in DDCalc (or the public XENON1T/LZ likelihood) to obtain a proper Poisson likelihood over the (m_S, m_VLL, g, lambda_SH) space.
Froggatt-Nielsen flavon-portal right-handed-neutrino freeze-out dark matter (arXiv:2307.14972 · score 19)No machine-readable likelihood exists for the flavor and direct-detection constraints: the B-meson-mixing bound v_phi*m_a > ~1.8e5 GeV^2 is only a source-level exclusion tied to one FN charge texture, and con_direct_future has at best a partial likelihood.
proposed resolution: Encode the flavon contribution to B_d/B_s mixing in a public flavor code (e.g. flavio or smelli) parameterized by the FN charges, and wrap published XENON/LZ spin-dependent limits as a likelihood over (m_N1, sigma_SD), validating against the quoted v_phi*m_a bound.
Light exothermic inelastic dark matter with vector mediator (arXiv:2403.03128 · score 19)No public likelihood packages the XENONnT ER and XENON1T S2-only datasets with the efficiencies and background model needed to reproduce the paper's 95% CL contours; the card marks likelihood_available as partial and the detector response as matching-required, so independent recasts of the inelastic limits are only approximate.
proposed resolution: Build a binned XENONnT-ER plus XENON1T-S2-only likelihood module from the published efficiency curves, exposure, and fixed ER background normalization, and validate it by reproducing the paper's benchmark limits at m_X = 0.1, 1, 10 GeV across delta_m = 1-30 keV.
Thermal right-handed sneutrino dark matter in the F_D-term hybrid inflation model (arXiv:0809.3932 · score 18)Direct-detection constraints are encoded only as paper-era CDMS-II bounds and SuperCDMS/Xenon1T projections (likelihood_available no, recasting_needed yes); no current-generation likelihood (LZ/XENONnT era) is attached to evaluate the surviving Higgs-pole region.

Elastic scalar-vector isospin-violating dark matter (arXiv:1108.1391 · score 18)No direct-detection likelihood covering both the historical DAMA/CoGeNT low-mass region and modern xenon/germanium exclusions with free isospin ratio f_p/f_n is available for this model, so the constraint entries can only be checked against 2011-era published contours.
proposed resolution: Implement the isospin-violating elastic SI recoil spectrum in DDCalc (or a comparable public DD likelihood package), include current LZ/XENONnT/SuperCDMS datasets alongside the historical DAMA modulation and CoGeNT spectra, and rerun the low-mass fit with modern quenching and threshold treatments.
Fermionic Higgs-portal dark matter with singlet-scalar inflation (arXiv:1512.09126 · score 18)The direct-detection constraint is frozen at a LUX-era xenon bound with no machine-readable likelihood; current LZ/XENONnT results, which dominate the viable resonance regions, are not recast for this model.
proposed resolution: Score sigma_SI(m_chi) against current xenon exposures with a public direct-detection likelihood package (DDCalc-type), including the standard nucleon-matrix-element uncertainties the paper fixes.
Higgs-portal fermionic dark matter with a light scalar mediator in neutron-star matter (arXiv:2104.06141 · score 18)No joint likelihood pipeline exists to confront the admixed-star predictions with GW170817 tidal-deformability posteriors, NICER radius measurements, and massive-pulsar mass constraints (card: likelihood_available partial), nor a recast of the same Higgs-portal couplings onto direct-detection, rare-meson, beam-dump, and supernova-cooling limits (likelihood_available no).
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood layer that ingests public GW170817 posterior samples and NICER PSR J0030/J0740 posteriors over the model's (m_chi, k_F^DM, EoS-parameter) space, and separately map (m_phi, y_phi, g_phiNN) onto existing light-scalar Higgs-portal exclusion compilations (e.g. the 1512.04119-style benchmark limits) to close the direct-search recast.
Light scalar mediator freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1711.11038 · score 18)No experiment-specific low-threshold direct-detection likelihood (target response, efficiency, backgrounds) is available for the light-scalar-mediator recoil signal, so only approximate curve-overlay recasts of the electron/low-threshold channel are possible.
proposed resolution: Wrap public low-threshold electron-recoil data and response models (e.g. DarkELF/QEDark-style target responses for semiconductor and noble-liquid targets) into a likelihood layer that accepts the light-mediator (1/q^2-enhanced) recoil spectrum and returns exclusions or projected reach.
Extended DM EFT with fermionic singlet DM (arXiv:1712.07626 · score 18)No LHC recast chain or experiment likelihoods are wired up for this model: the card leaves the monojet/Higgs+MET analyses unselected, ships no cutflows or detector simulation, and marks direct-detection likelihoods (LUX/XENON-style) as not bundled, so quantitative exclusion contours cannot be produced.
proposed resolution: Build the recast pipeline: generate monojet and Higgs+MET signal events from the UFO model with MadGraph plus detector simulation in CheckMATE or MadAnalysis 5 against the relevant ATLAS/CMS MET searches, and couple direct-detection predictions to public xenon likelihoods via DDCalc, enforcing the EFT-validity cut on events with momentum transfer near Lambda.
Vector FIMP dark matter through a moduli portal (arXiv:1911.11862 · score 18)No direct-detection or collider recast exists for the feeble moduli-portal couplings of the vector FIMP: likelihood_available is no/unknown for all constraints and no recoil or collider rate calculation appears in the read text, so the laboratory observable cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Derive the nucleon-level scattering cross section induced by real and axial modulus exchange (via the Higgs and gauge-boson couplings), recast it through public direct-detection likelihoods (e.g. DDCalc against LZ and XENONnT), and map collider null searches onto the (m_X, m_phi, Lambda) plane.
Semi-annihilation boosted dark matter interpretation (arXiv:2006.11264 · score 18)No public XENON1T electronic-recoil likelihood (including event timing for modulation searches) is packaged for the BDM-electron recoil spectrum; the route's comparison step can only reproduce benchmark plots rather than derive statistical allowed regions for (m_BDM, v_BDM, sigma_elec, mediator parameters).
proposed resolution: Build a binned Poisson likelihood over the released XENON1T SR1 ER spectrum with the published background model and detector response, adding a time-binned extension of the same likelihood to test the predicted daily modulation.
Scalar-contact inelastic scalar dark matter EFT (arXiv:2007.04963 · score 18)No public likelihood is identified for exothermic inelastic DM-electron scattering in the XENON1T electron-recoil data for this model (constraint likelihood_available unknown), so the preferred (m_X, delta, Lambda_S) region cannot be independently re-derived or updated to XENONnT/LZ data.
proposed resolution: Build an electron-recoil recast using the published XENON1T (and XENONnT/LZ) efficiency and energy-resolution curves, extending existing DM-electron scattering rate tools (e.g. QEDark/DarkELF-style atomic response plus detector smearing) to the exothermic delta ~ 2.8 keV kinematics, and fit as a binned Poisson likelihood.
SUSY DFSZ axion base model B_I with mixed axion/neutralino dark matter (arXiv:2303.11645 · score 17)No packaged likelihood implements the subcomponent-rescaled LZ direct-detection constraint for the B_I Higgsino-like LSP: the card records likelihood_available as partial, and the xi_LSP ~ 0.058 rescaling of sigma_SI against the LZ bound is done only by reading published limit curves.
proposed resolution: Wire the public LZ spin-independent likelihood (e.g. the DDCalc implementation) into the recast chain with an explicit Omega_LSP/Omega_DM rescaling of the local density, so the mu-dependent benchmark points can be tested quantitatively rather than against digitized exclusion curves.
SUSY DFSZ axion base model B_II with mixed axion/neutralino dark matter (arXiv:2303.11645 · score 17)No packaged likelihood implements the subcomponent-rescaled LZ direct-detection constraint for the B_II Higgsino-like LSP: the card records likelihood_available as partial, and the xi_LSP ~ 0.058 rescaling of sigma_SI against the LZ bound is done only by reading published limit curves.

proposed resolution: Wire the public LZ spin-independent likelihood (e.g. the DDCalc implementation) into the recast chain with an explicit Omega_LSP/Omega_DM rescaling of the local density, so the mu-dependent benchmark points can be tested quantitatively rather than against digitized exclusion curves.
Extended DM EFT with scalar singlet DM (arXiv:1712.07626 · score 16)No LHC recast chain or experiment likelihoods are wired up: the monojet/Higgs+MET analyses are unselected with no cutflows or detector simulation, and LUX/XENON-style direct-detection likelihoods are not bundled, so quantitative exclusions on (m_phi_s, m_S, Lambda, couplings) cannot be produced.
proposed resolution: Generate monojet and Higgs+MET events from the UFO model with MadGraph and recast against ATLAS/CMS MET searches in CheckMATE or MadAnalysis 5, and attach public xenon-experiment likelihoods via DDCalc, enforcing the EFT-validity cut for events with momentum transfer near Lambda.
Vector-contact inelastic scalar dark matter EFT (arXiv:2007.04963 · score 16)No public likelihood is identified for exothermic inelastic DM-electron scattering in the XENON1T electron-recoil data for this model (constraint likelihood_available unknown), so the preferred (m_X, delta, Lambda_V) region cannot be independently re-derived or updated to XENONnT/LZ data.
proposed resolution: Build an electron-recoil recast using the published XENON1T (and XENONnT/LZ) efficiency and energy-resolution curves, extending existing DM-electron scattering rate tools (e.g. QEDark/DarkELF-style atomic response plus detector smearing) to the exothermic delta ~ 2.8 keV kinematics with vector-current couplings, and fit as a binned Poisson likelihood.
Spin-2 portal FIMP freeze-in during reheating (arXiv:1911.11844 · score 16)No direct-detection or collider recast exists for the feebly coupled spin-2 portal: likelihood_available is no/unknown for every constraint and no benchmark cross-section or detector-response table was found, so the laboratory observable cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Derive the nuclear-recoil cross section from the massive spin-2 stress-energy coupling to quarks and gluons, recast it through public direct-detection likelihoods (e.g. DDCalc against LZ and XENONnT), and map collider missing-energy limits onto the (m_X, m_h, Lambda) plane.
Zee-Babu Z2 real scalar dark matter (arXiv:1209.1685 · score 14)The direct-detection constraint is a quoted paper-era LUX exclusion line (sigma_p = 1.8e-9 pb, likelihood_available no); no current LZ/XENONnT likelihood for the Higgs-portal sigma_p at m_X ~ 130 GeV is implemented.
proposed resolution: Evaluate the tree-level Higgs-exchange sigma_p against current LZ/XENONnT limits through a public likelihood package such as DDCalc to update the bound on lambda_HX.
Model A multicomponent radiative-seesaw dark matter (arXiv:1711.03765 · score 7)The abundance-weighted spin-independent direct-detection constraint exists only as source-era LUX/XENON1T exclusion curves; no current experiment likelihood is wired to the component-fraction-weighted effective cross section sigma_eff.

Minimal decaying dark matter model for the S8 tension (arXiv:2403.15543 · score 39)No published standalone likelihood or end-to-end pipeline maps the model's particle-physics parameters (Lambda, M, T_rh) through the freeze-in yield and decay width to (tau, epsilon, abundance) and jointly fits CMB+BAO+weak-lensing data; the paper's constraints require manual recasting of related DCDM analyses (card: likelihood_available 'partial', recasting_needed 'yes').
proposed resolution: Implement the operator-to-(tau, epsilon, Omega) mapping as a small parameter-translation module wrapped around the public two-body DCDM CLASS branch inside MontePython or Cobaya, and release the chains/likelihood configuration for Planck+BAO+shear.
Electrically charged massive particle dark matter (arXiv:1604.07926 · score 39)The Planck CMB mass bound (m_Ch > ~1e11 GeV for unit charge) is a spectrum-level comparison, not a packaged likelihood: no pipeline connects the CHAMP-modified spectra to the Planck TT/TE/EE likelihood for reproducible posterior bounds.
proposed resolution: Wrap the modified Boltzmann solver from gap_1 in an MCMC pipeline (Cobaya or MontePython) against the public Planck 2018 TT/TE/EE likelihood, sampling (m_Ch, q_Ch) alongside LCDM parameters, including the millicharge scaling Gamma/H proportional to q_Ch^2/m_Ch.
GUT-scale supersymmetry with pseudo-Dirac Higgsino dark matter (arXiv:2001.01505 · score 38)The inelastic direct-detection constraint is only a quoted 200 keV splitting threshold from the authors' earlier XENON analysis; no public likelihood evaluates the inelastic pseudo-Dirac Higgsino recoil spectrum against XENON-class data for intermediate splittings.
proposed resolution: Recast the XENON1T (and successor LZ/XENONnT) data into a likelihood for inelastic nuclear scattering as a function of Delta m0 and mu, e.g. by adding an inelastic-kinematics recoil spectrum module to DDCalc, replacing the single hard threshold with a smooth exclusion.
Higgs-portal pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone hot-and-cold dark matter (arXiv:1310.1774 · score 38)The motivating hot-component target (Delta N_eff = 0.61 +/- 0.30, m_eff = 0.41 +/- 0.13 eV) is a historical source-era fit with no current likelihood (likelihood_available: no), so the thermal pNG HDM parameter space cannot be judged against present CMB and LSS data.
proposed resolution: Implement the thermal pNG as a massive ncdm species with its decoupling temperature ratio in CLASS/CAMB and run an MCMC recast against Planck 2018 plus BAO and weak-lensing likelihoods (Cobaya/MontePython) to obtain the current allowed (Delta N_eff, m_eff) region.
Axion condensate dark matter with stimulated photon decays (arXiv:1911.07838 · score 38)No survey-specific likelihood exists for the narrow photon line at E_gamma = m_a/2 from stimulated condensate decay, either against the late-time diffuse radio background or as a CMB-era spectral distortion from the recombination scenario; the card's diffuse-background constraint is only an approximate energy-budget estimate (recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Build a recast that maps (m_a, g_a_gamma, f_dm, converted fraction, line width) onto measured radio-background data (ARCADE-2-type absolute-temperature measurements and radio survey line sensitivities) and, for the recombination case, onto COBE/FIRAS-class spectral-distortion limits, including redshift and velocity broadening of the line.
Inelastic Dirac Dark Matter (arXiv:2201.08409 · score 38)Cosmological viability (extra dark radiation, entropy transfer, late annihilation/decay energy injection, supernova cooling) is imposed only through approximate paper recasts; no public likelihood chain covers MeV-GeV inelastic dark sectors with long-lived chi_2.
proposed resolution: Chain existing public codes — AlterBBN/PRIMAT for light-element yields, ExoCLASS/CLASS for CMB energy injection and N_eff — into a likelihood module parameterized by (m_1, m_A_prime, alpha_D, Delta, tau_chi2), and add a documented supernova-cooling bound recast for the dark-photon portal.
Mirror-star dissipative mirror-baryon dark matter (arXiv:1909.04072 · score 37)No likelihood exists for the kinetic-mixing viability check: the supernova-cooling and Delta N_eff bounds for a massless dark photon with a 3-5x heavier mirror electron are only quoted (epsilon < ~1e-9), not implemented against current SN and CMB/BBN data for this spectrum.
proposed resolution: Recompute SN1987A cooling and sector-reheating Delta N_eff for the MTH-like charged mirror spectrum and package the result as an epsilon(m_e') exclusion likelihood usable with Planck/BBN N_eff constraints (e.g. as a CLASS extra-fluid module plus a digitized SN bound).
Purely gravitational scalar dark matter (arXiv:1804.07471 · score 37)The CMB isocurvature constraint is applied only as a single quoted upper limit S_DM < 9e-6; there is no likelihood that propagates the model's scale-dependent (potentially blue) dark-matter isocurvature spectrum through a Boltzmann code to Planck data, which the card flags as the way small-scale spectra can evade the large-scale bound.
proposed resolution: Derive the model's isocurvature power spectrum shape from the coherent scalar fluctuations, feed it as a CDM-isocurvature initial condition into CLASS or CAMB, and evaluate against the Planck isocurvature likelihood so the constraint becomes a function of (R_chi, m_chi/H_inf, spectral tilt) rather than a fixed threshold.
Kinetically coupled axion-dilaton fuzzy dark matter model (arXiv:2207.13086 · score 37)No MCMC analysis or likelihood pipeline exists for this model: the paper shows example parameter regions only, so quantitative H0/S8 tension relief and allowed regions for (kinetic-function slope, m_phi, f_phi, F) are not established.
proposed resolution: Couple the (re)implemented Boltzmann code to Cobaya or MontePython with Planck 2018, BAO, Pantheon, SH0ES, and DES/KiDS S8 likelihoods and run a full posterior scan over the model parameters, releasing the chains.
R-invariant gauge-mediated gravitino warm dark matter (arXiv:1012.5466 · score 36)No BBN calculation or likelihood exists for the late-decaying x_L with T_decay near 100 MeV; the card states no BBN abundance calculation was run, leaving the entropy-production window unquantified.
proposed resolution: Run a late-decay BBN code (AlterBBN or ACROPOLIS-class tooling) over the (m_xL, T_decay, hadronic branching) plane to convert the qualitative BBN-safety benchmark into an actual constraint on Delta and T_decay.
Axion dark matter clump photon-resonance model (arXiv:1805.00430 · score 36)No likelihood connects predicted coherent radio emission or merger-triggered bursts to actual radio surveys: the card lists radio transient/line searches as target likelihoods but no survey selection functions, plasma propagation treatment, or detectability pipeline exists for this signal class.
proposed resolution: Build a detectability pipeline that folds predicted burst luminosities and rates through Galactic plasma dispersion/absorption and the published selection functions of radio transient and spectral-line surveys (CHIME, SKA precursors, FRB catalogs), returning survey-level exclusion or discovery likelihoods.
Pseudo-Dirac split SIMP dark matter (arXiv:1702.04906 · score 34)No likelihood exists for the exothermic down-scattering recoil-line signature in low-threshold detectors: existing sub-GeV electron-scattering tools assume elastic kinematics, and the R_0-weighted exothermic rate for keV-to-GeV masses with splitting-set energy deposition is not implemented in any packaged detector recast.
proposed resolution: Extend a sub-GeV detector-response package (QEdark/DarkELF-class electron-recoil rates plus standard nuclear-recoil codes) to exothermic inelastic kinematics with energy release Delta m, weight by the surviving excited fraction R_0, and confront existing xenon/semiconductor limit data.
Trilinear-augmented gaugino mediation gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1804.11314 · score 34)BBN constraints on the long-lived NLSP (con_bbn_long_lived_particles, likelihood_available: no) have not been computed for this model's spectra: the NLSP freeze-out yield, lifetime, and hadronic/electromagnetic branching fractions were never fed into a light-element cascade calculation for the assigned benchmarks.
proposed resolution: Compute NLSP relic yields with micrOMEGAs from the SPheno spectra, derive decay spectra into the gravitino, and evaluate light-element constraints with a public BBN injection code (ACROPOLIS-type), producing an exclusion in the (tau_NLSP, yield) plane per NLSP class.
Scotogenic type-II seesaw inert-doublet dark matter cogenesis model (arXiv:1911.03013 · score 34)The route carries no direct-detection or LFV likelihoods: the Higgs-exchange elastic scattering limit for each benchmark and the LFV branching-ratio constraints are checked only internally, with no exported likelihood or limit curves.
proposed resolution: Attach DDCalc (XENON1T/LZ) likelihoods to the Higgs-mediated elastic cross section of eta_R and export SPheno/FlavorKit LFV observables against MEG-class bounds as standalone likelihood terms.
S3 symmetric inert dark scalar (arXiv:1804.01879 · score 33)Direct-detection and LHC missing-energy limits are only available as inert-doublet-context recasts; no S3-specific pipeline computes sigma_SI from the SARAH spectrum and confronts it with experimental likelihoods, and the card records likelihood_available partial with recasting_needed yes.
proposed resolution: Extend the existing SARAH/SPheno-to-micrOMEGAs chain to compute sigma_SI for accepted S3 points and evaluate it against LUX/XENON-class likelihoods via DDCalc, and run the same spectra through SModelS or CheckMATE for the inert-scalar LHC missing-energy topologies, replacing the borrowed inert-doublet exclusion curves.
Inflation-produced vector dark matter with neutrino decays (arXiv:2006.13224 · score 33)No CMB/BBN likelihood pipeline exists for this model's time-dependent neutrino injection: the constraint is only a window argument (Delta N_eff at recombination but not at BBN), and no Planck or CMB-S4 likelihood has been run against the actual decay history.
proposed resolution: Wrap the modified CLASS run from the decay-integrator pipeline into a cobaya or MontePython likelihood using the public Planck 2018 likelihood plus a BBN light-element likelihood (e.g. PArthENoPE/PRIMAT abundances), and add a CMB-S4 Fisher forecast for the target Delta N_eff range.
Non-minimally coupled gravitational scalar dark matter (arXiv:2305.14446 · score 33)The Planck isocurvature constraint is imposed via the quoted beta_iso < 0.038 bound rather than by computing the model's scale-dependent isocurvature spectrum and passing it through the Planck likelihood, so the xi lower boundary of the allowed region is only approximate (likelihood_available: partial).
proposed resolution: Compute the spectator isocurvature power spectrum from the same mode functions, add it as a CDI-type component in CLASS, and evaluate the actual Planck (or Planck+ACT/SPT) isocurvature likelihood over the (m_chi, xi, H_end) plane instead of applying the scale-independent beta_iso cut.
Dark proton-pion asymmetric mattergenesis model (arXiv:1911.12342 · score 32)No likelihood exists for the two-component direct-detection signal: the combined dark-proton plus charged-pion recoil spectrum through dark-photon exchange is not encoded against low-mass detector analyses, and dark-photon portal exclusions are read from plots rather than tabulated.
proposed resolution: Build a recast likelihood summing the p' and pi'^- recoil contributions (weighted by their equal number densities) against XENON1T-class low-mass analyses, combined with tabulated dark-photon search, supernova, and BBN bounds over (epsilon, m_dark_photon, m_pprime, m_pionprime).
Leptophilic scalar Co-SIMP dark matter (arXiv:2302.00008 · score 32)No BBN/CMB likelihood exists for the late-thermalizing sub-MeV dark sector populated by a late phase transition: the card's cosmological constraint has likelihood_available = no and the viability flag is only an approximate criterion on (T_pt, m_phi, Delta N_eff).
proposed resolution: Model the entropy and radiation transfer of the late phase transition and Co-SIMP thermal contact as time-dependent (N_eff, injection) histories, evaluate light-element yields with a public BBN injection code such as ACROPOLIS and CMB response with CLASS, and package the result as a likelihood over (m_phi, T_pt).
Axion-axino dark matter with gravitino-sourced dark radiation (arXiv:1107.4319 · score 32)The dark-radiation constraint on T_R rests on WMAP/ACT/SPT-era N_eff numbers quoted in the 2011 paper; no modern Planck/BAO Delta N_eff likelihood recast has been run for this model, so the quoted 5-sigma exclusion at T_R above about 9e10 GeV is stale.
proposed resolution: Wire the paper's analytic Delta N_eff(T_R, m_3/2, m_gluino) formula into a Cobaya or MontePython pipeline with the Planck 2018 plus BAO likelihoods (Delta N_eff as a derived parameter of CLASS/CAMB) and re-derive the T_R upper bound and the leptogenesis-compatibility window.
SU(2)_X hidden-sector vector and monopole dark matter with Higgs portal (arXiv:1311.1035 · score 32)No direct-detection likelihood exists for the two-scalar interference scattering (likelihood_available: no); only 2013-era XENON100/LUX curves are cited, so modern exclusion status in the (m_V, theta, m_phi) space cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Recast current LZ/XENONnT limits with a public direct-detection likelihood (DDCalc-class) using the source's H1/H2-interference sigma_p formula, scanning the scalar spectrum including the destructive-interference region.
Vector-mediated low-energy SUSY with light gravitino dark matter component (arXiv:1801.10160 · score 32)The cosmological gravitino constraint is used only as a quoted pass/fail bound (m_3/2 < 4.7 eV); no CMB-lensing plus cosmic-shear likelihood is wired up that treats the eV gravitino as a thermal hot-relic subcomponent of this model.
proposed resolution: Add a thermal light-gravitino species (analogous to a massive-neutrino-like component with its own temperature) to CLASS/CAMB and couple it to existing Planck lensing and cosmic-shear likelihoods in Cobaya/MontePython, reproducing the published 4.7 eV bound as a validation test.
Decaying gravitino dark matter with right-handed-neutrino decay products (arXiv:2104.02958 · score 32)The S8/matter-power preference is imported from a phenomenological 2-body DDM fit; no CMB+BAO+SNIa+S8 MCMC has been run directly in the gravitino parameter basis (m_3/2, mass splitting, T_RH, m_gluino) with the particle-physics priors (relic density, BBN spectrum conditions) imposed jointly.
proposed resolution: Reparameterize the public 2-body-decay modified CLASS (DDM branch of 2008.09615) in terms of (m_3/2, m1/m_3/2, T_RH, m_gluino) via the analytic decay-width and relic maps, and run MontePython/Cobaya against Planck, BAO, SNIa, and weak-lensing S8 data with the BBN and relic-density conditions as priors.
Multi Scalar Field Dark Matter (arXiv:2112.09337 · score 32)The paper's modified MontePython likelihood stack and chains are not confirmed public (only the modified CLASS repository is linked), so reproducing the quoted single- and two-field mass bounds or extending them to new data requires rebuilding the sampling setup, priors, and Ly-alpha treatment from the paper description.
proposed resolution: Reassemble and publicly archive the MontePython configuration coupling two_sfdm_class to the Planck 2018, BAO, BBN, Ly-alpha, and SNe likelihoods with the paper's priors, validating against the quoted 95 percent lower bounds (log10(m/eV) around -21.9 single-field, -22.1 two-field).
Kinetic-misalignment majoron dark matter in gauged U(1)Lmu-Ltau (arXiv:2404.10283 · score 32)No dedicated CMB/BAO likelihood exists for dark matter decaying invisibly to neutrinos in this model: the constraint is applied only as a quoted generic tau > 250 Gyr bound, with no pipeline mapping (m_J, f, sum m_nu^2) through tau_J into a Planck/BOSS decaying-DM likelihood.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS with DM decay to massless/neutrino dark radiation (as in the cited 2203.07440-type analyses), wire it to Planck and BOSS likelihoods in MontePython or Cobaya, and rerun the constraint as a function of tau_J for the majoron benchmark instead of reusing the generic quoted bound.
Dark matter from early decays (arXiv:astro-ph/0507300 · score 32)No BBN/CMB-spectral-distortion energy-injection pipeline is attached for the visible branching fraction of the parent decay, so the con_decay_bbn_cmb_reionization consistency region is only transcribed from related gravitino-LSP literature (likelihood_available 'no').
proposed resolution: Interface the model's (tau, parent abundance, B_vis) with existing public injection codes for electromagnetic/hadronic decays during and after BBN (ACROPOLIS/AlterBBN-class BBN networks plus COBE/FIRAS mu- and y-distortion limits) to produce an in-registry exclusion on the visible branching fraction.
Vector-parent non-thermal vector WIMP dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 31)No numerical BBN/CMB spectral-distortion likelihood is attached for the electromagnetic energy injected by the W_mu parent decay: the tau_X < 10^4 s and energy-release limits are used qualitatively and graphically from the primary paper, with no public likelihood table for this model's photon-injection history.
proposed resolution: Build the (tau_X, zeta) energy-injection recast with a public BBN code with electromagnetic injection (e.g. an AlterBBN/PRIMAT-class calculation) plus COBE/FIRAS mu- and y-distortion limits, parameterized by the parent lifetime and injected photon energy fraction, and expose it as a reusable likelihood on the lifetime-energy plane.
Dark neutron asymmetric mattergenesis model (arXiv:1911.12342 · score 31)No reusable likelihood exists for the GeV-scale dark-neutron search program: the XENON1T bound is a paper-level adjusted limit (sigma_nprime_p < 4.4e-39 cm^2 at 1.33 GeV) and the dark-photon epsilon versus mass exclusions are read off plots rather than encoded, preventing combined parameter-space scans.
proposed resolution: Build a recast likelihood combining low-mass direct-detection limits (XENON1T-class analyses for a magnetic-moment plus dark-photon-exchange cross section) with tabulated dark-photon beam-dump, supernova, and BBN bounds over (epsilon, m_dark_photon, m_nprime).
331_R keV sterile-neutrino mixed warm-hot dark matter (arXiv:2104.14542 · score 31)The CMB Delta N_eff bound on the hot nonthermal N1 fraction is applied only as a rough exclusion; no likelihood connecting (alpha, f_NT) to Delta N_eff and the CMB data is provided (con_cmb_alpha has likelihood_available: no and recasting_needed: yes).
proposed resolution: Derive Delta N_eff(alpha, m_N2, T_RH) from the model's decay kinematics and evaluate it against the Planck Delta N_eff likelihood (e.g. via a CLASS + MontePython/Cobaya pipeline), replacing the qualitative alpha > 0 statement with a quantitative posterior.
Fermion-parent non-thermal fermion WIMP dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 30)No numerical BBN/CMB spectral-distortion likelihood is attached for the electromagnetic energy injected by the parent decay: the tau_X < 10^4 s and energy-release limits are used qualitatively and graphically from the primary paper, with no public likelihood table for this model's photon-injection history.
proposed resolution: Build the (tau_X, zeta) energy-injection recast with a public BBN code with electromagnetic injection (e.g. an AlterBBN/PRIMAT-class calculation) plus COBE/FIRAS mu- and y-distortion limits, parameterized by the parent lifetime and injected photon energy fraction, and expose it as a reusable likelihood on the lifetime-energy plane.
Decay-product hot dark matter (arXiv:1405.6736 · score 30)No CMB/LSS likelihood analysis exists for the decay-product HDM parameterization; both card constraints have likelihood_available=no, so whether current data can distinguish the model from a thermal sterile neutrino via higher distribution moments is untested.
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS ncdm implementation exists, run MCMC fits with public Planck + BAO (and optionally full-shape LSS) likelihoods via Cobaya or MontePython over (mother mass, yield, tau, B_hdm, epsilon/x_2), and forecast future-survey sensitivity to the skewness difference.
Milli-eV scalar dark matter decaying to dark photons (arXiv:1803.07048 · score 30)The FIRAS and low-frequency radio-background constraint on the distorted CMB Rayleigh-Jeans tail is applied only qualitatively: the card records no numerical FIRAS likelihood and notes that absolute low-frequency measurements (ARCADE-2-class data) have large uncertainties, so the viable (m_A', epsilon) window cannot be delimited quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Build a spectral-distortion likelihood from the public FIRAS monopole residuals plus low-frequency absolute radiometry (ARCADE-2 and long-wavelength surveys), evaluated on the model's converted-photon intensity as a function of x, and use it to map the excluded versus viable (m_A', epsilon, abundance) region.
Higgs-portal dark monopole dark matter (arXiv:2005.00503 · score 30)No multi-scatter direct-detection likelihood exists for macroscopic Higgs-portal monopole transits; XENON1T-style single-hit limits do not apply once the expected number of scatters per crossing exceeds order unity.
proposed resolution: Build a Monte Carlo transit simulation with XENON-class detector geometry, energy thresholds, and trigger/deadtime modeling for track-like multi-hit events, following existing multiscatter dark-matter analyses, and release it as a recastable likelihood parameterized by (M, R, sigma_A, local flux).
Decaying warm dark matter to invisible radiation (arXiv:2205.13628 · score 30)No nonlinear-LSS likelihood exists for the warm decaying mother species itself; existing BOSS EFTofLSS limits apply to cold-parent two-body decaying dark matter and require an unvalidated model mapping.
proposed resolution: Couple the DWDM transfer functions to an EFTofLSS pipeline (CLASS-PT or PyBird with the BOSS DR12 likelihood) so the warm-mother momentum distribution enters directly instead of mapping onto cold-parent DDM parameters.
Mass-varying dark matter with rapid mass turn-on (arXiv:2303.17947 · score 30)No dedicated Ly-alpha forest likelihood exists for the MVDM suppression shape: the primary bound relies on an extracted linear P(k) under a fiducial cosmology, and thermal-WDM limits are only an approximate recast because the MVDM transfer function differs in shape from thermal WDM at fixed M/T.
proposed resolution: Recast MVDM transfer functions through an existing hydro-calibrated Ly-alpha flux-power emulator built for generalized small-scale suppressions (e.g. the WDM/nCDM alpha-beta-gamma transfer-function parameterizations used with eBOSS/XQ-100/HIRES-MIKE emulators), fitting the emulator's suppression parameters to the MVDM P(k) over the M/T-z_t plane; where the shape falls outside the emulator's training space, run a small set of dedicated hydrodynamical simulations.
Hidden-charged dark matter with chiral dark radiation (arXiv:1706.05605 · score 29)No CMB+H0 likelihood analysis exists for this model's hidden-sector thermal history (constraint con_hidden_dr_neff_h0 has likelihood_available: no); the Delta N_eff ~ 0.59 benchmark and the claimed H0-tension relief have never been fit against Planck plus local-H0 data with the model's parameters.
proposed resolution: Once the modified CLASS implementation exists, run a Cobaya/MontePython MCMC over (N, Lambda, e_D, hidden temperature ratio) against Planck CMB, BAO, and local-H0 likelihoods to produce posterior constraints on the dark-radiation abundance and scattering strength.
Pseudo-Goldstone-mediated sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1801.02640 · score 29)No quantitative BBN/CMB likelihood exists for late neutrino injection from rho and sterile-neutrino decays in this non-majoron setup: the card records only qualitative bounds (likelihood_available: unknown), and standard majoron limits cannot be copied because the pseudo-Goldstone couples only to sterile neutrinos.
proposed resolution: Recast neutrino-injection BBN constraints (extending an injection code such as ACROPOLIS to pure-neutrino final states) and compute Delta N_eff with a modified CLASS run for the decaying rho/N_{2,3}, producing a pass/fail likelihood over (tau_phi, f, M_Ni).
Leptonic scalar dark matter with scalar dilepton mediator (arXiv:1805.03295 · score 29)The CMB-safety claim (neutrino-only mediator decay avoiding electromagnetic energy injection) and the associated dark-radiation output of zeta -> nu_R nu_R are only qualitatively argued from cited Planck-era bounds; no packaged likelihood evaluates the Sommerfeld-enhanced late-time annihilation injection fraction or the Delta N_eff contribution for this model's parameters (likelihood_available unknown/no on the relevant constraints).
proposed resolution: Implement the annihilation-plus-mediator-decay energy deposition chain in an injection code such as ExoCLASS or DarkHistory (tracking any subleading electromagnetic branch), compute the nu_R dark-radiation contribution to N_eff in CLASS/CAMB, and couple both to the Planck likelihood over (m_chi, m_zeta, f_ij).
Hidden vector coherent oscillation dark matter (arXiv:1907.06243 · score 29)No CMB likelihood exists for statistically anisotropic dark-matter isocurvature: the model predicts an isocurvature power spectrum with order-unity angular dependence on the background vector direction (g_S), while Planck isocurvature bounds assume an isotropic template, forcing a rough isotropic-limit recast.
proposed resolution: Implement the anisotropic DM-isocurvature transfer in a modified CLASS/CAMB (off-diagonal a_lm covariance from a quadrupolar g_S template) and build a Planck-based likelihood analogous to existing statistical-anisotropy/quadrupolar-asymmetry analyses, validated against the paper's isotropic-limit S_DM bound.
Sterile-neutrino portal FIMP fermion dark matter (arXiv:2212.10043 · score 28)No public cosmological likelihood exists for a long-lived dark scalar (tau_phi ~ 1e8-1e10 s) decaying dominantly to light neutrinos: the Planck exclusion and Delta N_eff = 0.12 benchmark are quoted from the source's private energy-transfer treatment, and light-element likelihood tables for the suppressed electromagnetic fraction are not available.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS with a decaying-species module that injects energy into the neutrino sector (plus a small electromagnetic branch handled by an exoCLASS/DarkAges-style deposition), parameterized by (tau_phi, f_phi, m_phi, branching fractions), and couple it to Planck and BBN (PRIMAT/AlterBBN) likelihoods in Cobaya or MontePython.
Lightest sterile neutrino dark matter in the nuMSM from active-sterile transitions (arXiv:hep-ph/0612182 · score 28)No public joint likelihood exists for the X-ray decay-line searches plus Ly-alpha flux power in the (M1, sin^2(2theta)) plane; existing X-ray limits are published exclusion curves needing recast, and the quoted Ly-alpha lower bound was derived under approximate thermal-WDM distribution mappings rather than the exact nonequilibrium DW distribution.
proposed resolution: Digitize and package Chandra/XMM/NuSTAR X-ray line limits as a mass-mixing likelihood module, and couple CLASS transfer functions computed from the exact f_s(q) to a modern Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES style) in a MontePython/Cobaya pipeline.
Right-handed sneutrino condensate baryon-dark matter model (arXiv:0710.2360 · score 28)The isocurvature constraint is anchored to the WMAP-era beta < 0.26 bound; no modern Planck-level likelihood has been applied to this model's correlated CDM plus baryon isocurvature mixture sourced by the sneutrino and Affleck-Dine phase fields.
proposed resolution: Map the model's CDM and baryon isocurvature amplitudes and correlations into the standard Planck isocurvature parameterization and evaluate with a CLASS or CAMB plus Planck 2018 likelihood pipeline (e.g. MontePython/Cobaya), updating the allowed H_I range.
Symmetric vector-mediator SIDM with photon kinetic mixing (arXiv:1310.7945 · score 28)No detector-level recast exists for the momentum-dependent recoil spectrum induced by the 1-100 MeV kinetically mixed mediator; the direct-detection-plus-BBN constraint is only approximate (likelihood_available: partial, likelihood_reference null).
proposed resolution: Extend a public direct-detection likelihood package (DDCalc-class) with the long-range 1/(q^2+m_phi^2)^2 propagator form factor and recast current xenon and low-threshold experiment limits onto the (epsilon, m_phi, m_X) plane, including the BBN mediator-lifetime floor as a prior.
Pseudo-Dirac SU(2)_L lepton-doublet dark matter with late scalar decay (arXiv:2306.12906 · score 28)The requirement that S decays complete after chi freeze-out but before BBN is imposed only as an order-of-magnitude statement on y_s; no BBN light-element likelihood or lifetime contour has been computed for the S mass, abundance, and leptonic decay products of this model.
proposed resolution: Feed the S freeze-out abundance and its decay spectrum into a late-decay BBN code (e.g. ACROPOLIS-class photodisintegration/injection machinery) to derive the allowed tau_S(y_s, M_S) region against observed light-element abundances.
SO(10) extra-generation hot dark matter neutrino model (arXiv:hep-ph/9806400 · score 28)The route has an empty likelihoods list: no modern 3+1 oscillation global-fit likelihood or cosmological (Sum m_nu, N_eff) likelihood is wired to the model's (M_R, M, tan beta, texture) parameter space, so the few-eV hot tau neutrino and the large-mixing sterile solution can only be checked against superseded 1998 targets.
proposed resolution: Build a recast layer that maps the diagonalized spectrum onto public 3+1 sterile-neutrino global-fit chi-squares and onto CLASS/CAMB-based Planck Sum m_nu and N_eff likelihoods (via MontePython or Cobaya), replacing the historical target comparison in the phenomenology_compare step.
Twin SIMPs (arXiv:1805.09345 · score 27)BBN/CMB energy-injection safety of the unstable heavier twin mesons (lifetimes around 1e-3 to 1e-2 s) rests on order-of-magnitude arguments; no likelihood evaluates the residual decaying abundance after annihilation into pions against photodissociation and CMB spectral/anisotropy limits.
proposed resolution: Compute the frozen-out heavier-meson abundances from the gap_1 Boltzmann solver and feed lifetime-abundance pairs into existing decaying-particle BBN codes (e.g. AlterBBN-style photodissociation treatments) and DarkHistory/ExoCLASS for CMB injection limits.
Neutrinophilic axion-like dark matter (arXiv:1809.01111 · score 27)The most stringent stated constraint — CMB neutrino free-streaming limits on ALP-induced neutrino decay and scattering — has no recast for this model: mapping the Hermitian flavor-basis coupling matrix g_alpha_beta to mass-basis decay/scattering rates and evaluating them against a CMB likelihood has not been done, and no Planck-level neutrino-interaction likelihood run exists on the card.
proposed resolution: Derive the mass-basis nu_i -> nu_j + a decay and scattering rates from g_alpha_beta using the PMNS rotation, then evaluate the neutrino free-streaming modification with an interacting-neutrino extension of CLASS/CAMB against the Planck likelihood to produce exclusion contours in (m_a, g_alpha_beta) per flavor structure.
Dark massive compact halo object phenomenology (arXiv:2003.13182 · score 27)The CMB accretion bound is only a qualitative analytic recast: no energy-injection likelihood couples the dMACHO population luminosity n_dMACHO * L(z) to the ionization history and CMB anisotropy data, and the extracted mass-radius scaling itself needs re-derivation because the source text mangles the exponent sign.
proposed resolution: Adapt the ExoCLASS/CLASS exotic-energy-injection module to take the dMACHO hydrostatic-accretion L(z, M, R) as input deposition, and run against Planck likelihoods to produce quantitative mass-radius exclusion contours, cross-checking the paper's quoted scaling.
Extended KSVZ axion model with scalar S1 dark matter and an up-type vector-like quark (arXiv:2305.08662 · score 27)No LHC recast likelihood exists for the VLQ pair-production top-plus-MET signature with coupling-dependent branching ratios: the card states current ATLAS/CMS exclusion contours require dedicated reinterpretation, and no search likelihood is available for the boosted-top-fatjet-plus-MET analysis.
proposed resolution: Build a recast of the relevant ATLAS/CMS stop-like top+MET searches in MadAnalysis5 or CheckMATE with BR(VLQ->t S1) as a free parameter, and add the compressed Delta M < m_t region via existing multijet+MET recasts, to yield reusable exclusion likelihoods for this model class.
Composite millicharged absorption-line dark matter (arXiv:2301.03624 · score 26)No likelihood exists for either signature: neither a radio/mm spectral-line search likelihood (uGMRT/SKA-class bands) for dark-forest features nor a CMB spectral-distortion likelihood tailored to a narrow global absorption line from inelastic composite dark matter.
proposed resolution: Construct a narrow-line template likelihood against COBE/FIRAS data (extensible to PIXIE-like forecasts) for the global feature, and adapt existing radio absorption-line survey pipelines to set optical-depth limits per band, published as reusable likelihood modules over (nu_0, tau).
Z3 leptophilic Co-SIMP dark matter for global 21-cm cosmology (arXiv:2308.04955 · score 26)No quantitative sensitivity forecast or likelihood exists for the Dark Ages second-trough discriminator at z~85; the card notes instrument sensitivity for LuSEE Night, DAPPER, and PRATUSH was not forecast.
proposed resolution: Construct Fisher or mock-likelihood forecasts for LuSEE Night/DAPPER/PRATUSH-class instruments (noise plus foreground model over z~50-100) and evaluate the distinguishability of the alpha-dependent second-trough curves.
Sub-keV decaying fermion dark matter in anomaly-free hidden U(1)_X (arXiv:2002.00036 · score 26)The model is only compared to a quoted decaying-dark-matter Hubble-tension fit band (tau_DM ~ 35 Gyr, epsilon = 0.0013-0.229); no likelihood pipeline maps the hidden U(1)_X parameters (g, V_1, m_DM) onto a two-body DCDM cosmological fit.
proposed resolution: Map (g, V_1, m_DM) to (tau_DM, epsilon) analytically and run an existing public two-body decaying-CDM modified CLASS (massive plus massless daughter, Blackadder-Koushiappas parameterization) with Planck, BAO and SH0ES likelihoods in MontePython or Cobaya.
Higgs-philic U(1)' right-handed sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:0906.3540 · score 25)No implemented BBN/CMB energy-injection recast exists for the late-decaying neutralino NNLSP and long-lived NLSP: the card's hadronic-BBN and CMB-lifetime constraints are qualitative, with likelihood_available 'no' and no light-element or injection calculation rerun.
proposed resolution: Feed the NNLSP lifetime and hadronic branching fractions into an existing injection framework (ACROPOLIS or AlterBBN for BBN light elements; ExoCLASS/CLASS with DarkAges for CMB) and publish the resulting exclusion in the lifetime-versus-injected-energy plane for this benchmark.
A4 seesaw Majoron decaying dark matter (arXiv:1007.0898 · score 25)The CMB lifetime bound Gamma_J < 1.3e-19 s^-1 is a WMAP5-era number; no updated likelihood recast of Majoron decay to neutrinos (dark radiation injection) against Planck-era CMB data exists for this model.
proposed resolution: Run the CLASS dcdm-to-dark-radiation module over (m_J, Gamma_J, abundance) with the Planck 2018 likelihood in MontePython/Cobaya to replace the WMAP-era lifetime threshold with a current posterior bound.
MiTeVeS Noether-current mimetic dark matter cosmology (arXiv:2107.12161 · score 25)No assembled background-fit pipeline exists that implements the MiTeVeS H(z) with its Noether-current a^-3, stiff a^-6, and dark-energy terms inside a public sampler with the CC + Pantheon + BAO + CMB distance-prior likelihoods and the BBN speed-up prior; the paper's Polychord fit is not public.
proposed resolution: Implement the MiTeVeS background expansion (Omega_Lambda + Omega_m(1+z)^3 + Omega_r(1+z)^4 + Omega_stiff(1+z)^6 parameterization) as a theory class in Cobaya or MontePython, attach the existing public cosmic-chronometer, Pantheon, BAO, and CMB distance-prior likelihoods, and encode the BBN speed-up bound as a prior.
Gauged B-L decaying Majoron dark matter (arXiv:2205.12353 · score 25)No dedicated CMB+LSS likelihood analysis exists for the I3 decaying component: the exclusion maps rely on transferring conservative published decaying-DM global-analysis bounds, which were derived for a generic dcdm-to-dark-radiation fluid with fixed datasets and may not match the I3-to-active-neutrino perturbation behavior or the paper's stable-plus-decaying two-component setup.
proposed resolution: Implement I3 as a dcdm species decaying to (free-streaming) neutrino dark radiation at the perturbation level in CLASS or CAMB, map (v_D, v_M) to (f_dcdm, Gamma_dcdm) via the particle_mapping step, and run MCMC against current Planck, BAO, SNe, and weak-lensing likelihoods to replace the bound-transfer with a direct posterior on the VEV plane.
Lepton-number-two ultralight scalar dark matter for neutrinoless double beta capture (arXiv:2312.15016 · score 25)No experimental 0nubb likelihood is packaged for the comparison step: current KamLAND-Zen-class limits and next-generation (LEGEND-1000, nEXO) sensitivities are needed as half-life likelihoods to turn predicted rates into allowed/excluded regions.
proposed resolution: Collect published half-life limits and projected sensitivities for 136Xe and 76Ge into simple Poisson/Gaussian likelihood curves and wire them to the forward model of gap_1, keeping the signal-shape degeneracy with standard 0nubb as an explicit assumption flag.
PQ-inflation QCD axion kinetic-misalignment model (arXiv:2310.17710 · score 24)No CMB likelihood is connected to the route: the n_s, r, and Delta N_eff predictions are only compared to quoted Planck/Keck bounds, and the card records no resolved likelihood files, so precision or future-CMB tests of the correlated inflation plus dark-radiation predictions cannot be run.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's (n_s, r, Delta N_eff) predictions into the public Planck 2018 plus BICEP/Keck likelihoods via CLASS/CAMB and Cobaya/MontePython, with a CMB-S4-style Delta N_eff forecast module for the reheating branch.
Kinetic-mixing cosmic millicharged-particle background with dark photon (arXiv:2308.07951 · score 24)No reusable experiment-level likelihoods with detector acceptances exist for translating a cosmic millicharged background flux into event yields at fixed-target, neutrino, collider, and direct-detection experiments; only published beam-oriented exclusion curves are available for approximate recasting.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast package that wraps published mCP search efficiencies (e.g. ArgoNeuT, milliQan, SENSEI, XENON-class detectors) as effective likelihoods over (q_chi, m_chi, flux), including terrestrial attenuation of low-velocity relic mCPs, and expose the T_rh mapping as a post-processing layer.
Anomalous U(1) supersymmetric radiative seesaw dark matter (arXiv:1011.2839 · score 24)No fraction-weighted direct-detection likelihood is set up: the neutralino component must be compared to XENON-class limits after rescaling the local density by Omega_chi/Omega_DM, which the card records as a needed recast with likelihood_available unknown.
proposed resolution: Use DDCalc (or the micrOMEGAs direct-detection module) with current xenon-target likelihoods, feeding it the MSSM sigma_chi_N and multiplying the local density by the computed neutralino relic fraction from the freeze-out step.
Spontaneous-baryogenesis scalar cold dark matter (arXiv:1605.00670 · score 24)No likelihood pipeline exists for the model's compensated baryon-plus-CDM isocurvature scenario: the Planck bound quoted by the card applies to an uncorrelated scale-invariant effective CDM isocurvature mode, so the key evasion mechanism (scalar CDM compensating baryon isocurvature, with nonquadratic-potential spectral shapes) cannot be evaluated against CMB data as posed.
proposed resolution: Implement the model's correlated/compensated baryon-CDM isocurvature initial conditions (with amplitude and tilt set by H_*, V derivatives, and the scalar CDM fraction) in CLASS or CAMB, and run against the public Planck TT,TE,EE+lowE likelihood to derive bounds valid for the compensated mode rather than reusing the uncorrelated 0.040 limit.
Singlet majoron extension with majoron or sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1807.03309 · score 24)No packaged likelihood exists for the two decay signatures: the CMB bound on majoron decay to neutrinos (bound not digitized from the primary figure, per the card) and the X-ray/soft-gamma lifetime limits on the MeV sterile-neutrino branch are both available only as literature exclusion statements.
proposed resolution: Recast the CMB constraint on DM decaying to invisible/neutrino final states with CLASS plus the Planck likelihood as a tau(m_J, f) bound, and digitize published MeV-scale X-ray/soft-gamma decay limits into a sin^2(2theta)-versus-m_N1 likelihood curve.
Colored t-channel mediator freeze-in plus superWIMP dark matter (arXiv:1809.10135 · score 24)No Ly-alpha forest likelihood exists that accepts the model's nonthermal transfer function; current limits are quoted only via the thermal-WDM m_WDM > 3.3 keV benchmark, which the card flags as requiring a recast.
proposed resolution: Recast the nonthermal transfer function through an existing Ly-alpha framework, e.g. map the model's cutoff onto the area criterion or use a flux-power emulator (Vid Irsic/MIKE-HIRES-based likelihood) evaluated on the CLASS transfer function from the computed f(q).
Z2 fermion dark matter from broken local U(1) with bound states (arXiv:1910.04311 · score 24)CMB and BBN safety of the light dark Higgs and dark photon (late decays and reannihilation-era energy injection) is treated only qualitatively in benchmark selection, with no quantitative energy-injection or N_eff likelihood for the mediator lifetime and abundance.
proposed resolution: Compute mediator lifetimes and decay branching from (lambda_H, epsilon) and evaluate them with existing BBN/CMB injection codes (e.g. an ACROPOLIS-class BBN injection calculation plus Planck f_eff annihilation limits) to turn the qualitative safety check into a quantitative bound.
Model A: Dirac self-interacting dark matter with a light scalar mediator (arXiv:1912.11708 · score 24)No wired likelihood chain exists for the CMB/BBN response: the model's p-wave <sigma v>_rec, the phi electromagnetic-decay energy injection, and the phi abundance history are only compared to literature bounds; no f_eff computation, Planck energy-injection likelihood, or BBN photodisintegration cascade is attached.
proposed resolution: Couple the Boltzmann-solver outputs (Y_phi, tau_phi, p-wave <sigma v>) to ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for f_eff and Planck energy-injection limits and to an ACROPOLIS-class BBN photodisintegration code for the MeV-scale scalar decay history.

proposed resolution: Couple the Boltzmann-solver outputs (mediator yields, lifetimes, <sigma v>_rec) to ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for f_eff and Planck energy-injection limits and to an ACROPOLIS-class BBN photodisintegration code for the MeV-scale scalar decay histories.
Model C: p-wave scalar-mediator SIDM with scalar mediator-decay channel (arXiv:1912.11708 · score 24)No wired likelihood chain exists for the CMB/BBN response of the two-step decay chain: the electromagnetic injection spectrum from phi to S S followed by S to SM decays, the p-wave <sigma v>_rec, and the mediator abundance history are only compared to literature bounds; no f_eff computation, Planck energy-injection likelihood, or BBN photodisintegration cascade is attached.
proposed resolution: Compute the cascade injection spectra for phi to S S to SM final states, then couple the Boltzmann-solver outputs to ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for f_eff and Planck energy-injection limits and to an ACROPOLIS-class BBN photodisintegration code for the MeV-scale decay chain.
Model D: stable vector-mediator SIDM with scalar annihilation outlet (arXiv:1912.11708 · score 24)No wired likelihood chain exists for the CMB/BBN response: the residual stable A' abundance, the electromagnetic energy injection from Higgs-portal S decays, and N_eff shifts are only compared to literature bounds; no f_eff computation, Planck energy-injection likelihood, or BBN photodisintegration cascade is attached.
proposed resolution: Couple the Boltzmann-solver outputs (residual Y_A', Y_S, tau_S) to ExoCLASS/DarkHistory for f_eff and Planck energy-injection limits and to an ACROPOLIS-class BBN photodisintegration and N_eff code for the MeV-scale S decay history.
Anomaly-free ALP inflaton dark matter for the XENON1T excess (arXiv:2007.10311 · score 24)The ALP-inflation consistency claim (f_phi about 10^3 sqrt(m_phi M_P), n=3 potential) is not backed by an implemented CMB likelihood: the two-sinusoid potential and its reheating constraints are not coded into any inflation-fitting pipeline.
proposed resolution: Add the multi-natural ALP-inflation potential to an ASPIC-style slow-roll module or directly to CLASS/CAMB primordial-spectrum machinery, propagate the reheating efficiency epsilon, and fit n_s and r against the Planck likelihood.
Out-of-equilibrium U(1)_X hidden-sector dark-fermion model (arXiv:2202.04453 · score 24)No cosmological likelihood is available for the time-dependent Delta N_eff produced by the out-of-equilibrium S decay near recombination; published N_eff bounds assume a constant extra relativistic density, so the Hubble-tension benchmark cannot be properly tested.
proposed resolution: Implement the decaying-scalar-to-dark-radiation fluid in CLASS/CAMB and run a dedicated MCMC against Planck+BAO+SH0ES likelihoods (e.g. in MontePython or Cobaya) to constrain tau_S, m_S, and the injected Delta N_eff(z).
Right-handed-neutrino-coupled dark matter (arXiv:2108.06928 · score 24)No dedicated likelihood analysis constrains f_chi directly: the quoted f_chi < 0.0045 bound is inherited from Planck+BOSS neutrino-mass limits via an approximate suppression-equivalence, and the future CMB-S4/DESI forecasts were likewise not run through a model-specific pipeline.
proposed resolution: Couple the extended Boltzmann solver from gap_1 to MontePython or Cobaya with Planck, BOSS BAO, and CMB-lensing likelihoods to run a direct MCMC on (f_chi, m_N, coupling) and validate or replace the neutrino-mass-equivalent bound.
Smallest non-Abelian chiral dark-sector dark-proton dark matter (arXiv:1706.02722 · score 24)The dark-lepton cosmology constraints (Delta N_eff estimates 0.2 versus 2.9 depending on decoupling epoch, and late-decay energy-injection windows) exist only as analytic estimates with likelihood_available: no; nothing evaluates them against actual CMB/BBN data, and the card notes sterile-neutrino bounds do not translate one-to-one.
proposed resolution: Implement the dark-sector decoupling temperature and dark-lepton energy density in CLASS to get Delta N_eff against the Planck likelihood, and route the heavy dark-lepton decay channels through an energy-injection code (ExoCLASS/DarkAges plus a BBN injection code) to replace the analytic viability windows with data-level constraints.
Pure fermionic cosmic millicharged-particle background (arXiv:2308.07951 · score 23)No CMB likelihood run exists for this model's reheating-dependent fractional mCP abundance with baryon Coulomb drag: existing dmeff-type CLASS/CAMB analyses assume fixed DM fractions and velocity-power-law cross sections rather than the f_chi(q_chi, m_chi, T_rh) predicted here.
proposed resolution: Adapt a public interacting-DM CLASS/CAMB branch (dmeff with n = -4 Coulomb scattering) to take the model's fractional abundance as input and run the Planck (and forecast CMB-S4) likelihoods over the (q_chi, m_chi, T_rh) plane.
Pure fermionic cosmic millicharged-particle background (arXiv:2308.07951 · score 23)Experiment-specific likelihoods and acceptances for translating a cosmic millicharged background flux into event yields at fixed-target, neutrino, collider, and direct-detection experiments are not public; beam-based and cosmic-background flux assumptions differ and cannot be interchanged without detector modeling.
proposed resolution: Build a recast package wrapping published mCP search efficiencies (ArgoNeuT, milliQan, SENSEI-class detectors) as likelihoods over (q_chi, m_chi, flux), including terrestrial attenuation and thermalization of slow relic mCPs, so search reach can be mapped onto T_rh.
U(1)_H-stabilized WIMPZILLA with dark radiation (arXiv:1305.5013 · score 23)The N_eff constraint on the hidden photon plus scalar-decay dark radiation is only compared against Planck 2013/WMAP9/BBN point values (likelihood_available: partial, no likelihood_reference); no packaged likelihood maps (Y_phi, m_phi, tau_phi, Delta N_eff,H) to current CMB+BBN N_eff posteriors.
proposed resolution: Wrap the analytic Delta N_eff formula in a likelihood module that evaluates against the public Planck 2018 (+BAO) N_eff posterior and a modern BBN N_eff determination (e.g. via CLASS/MontePython or cobaya chains), replacing the 2013-era point comparison.
Non-minimally coupled scalar dark matter from inflationary fluctuations (arXiv:1807.09785 · score 23)No CMB isocurvature likelihood is implemented for this model's strongly scale-dependent (blue, peaked) dark-matter isocurvature spectrum; Planck constraints are published for power-law isocurvature and require recasting.
proposed resolution: Map the computed P_iso(k) into the Planck 2018 CDI isocurvature likelihood (via CLASS/CAMB initial-condition amplitudes and a MontePython/Cobaya likelihood run) rather than power-law-slope translation, and expose the result as a viability likelihood over (m, xi, H_I).
Axi-Higgs ultralight axion dark matter (arXiv:2105.01631 · score 23)The benchmark fit relies on compressed CMB scale parameters (l_a, l_eq, l_D, S_L) rather than full Planck likelihoods, and no public likelihood pipeline exists for this model against full CMB anisotropy, lensing, and weak-lensing data; the uncoupled-ULA CMB fraction limits also require recasting to the coupled axi-Higgs setup.
proposed resolution: Once the modified Boltzmann code exists (gap_1), run full Planck 2018 TTTEEE+lensing, BAO, weak-lensing, and SN likelihoods through Cobaya on the (m_a, Omega_a, Delta v_rec) parameter space, replacing the compressed-observable fit and directly recasting the ULA CMB fraction constraints for the coupled model.
Higgsed dark photon gravitational-production dark matter (arXiv:2204.11896 · score 23)The CMB isocurvature viability of the k^2-suppressed blue longitudinal spectrum rests on a source-level argument; no Boltzmann-code implementation of vector dark-matter isocurvature transfer or Planck isocurvature likelihood evaluation exists for this model, so the quantitative constraint on the infrared spectrum has never been computed.
proposed resolution: Add a dark-matter isocurvature mode with the model's k-dependent initial spectrum to CLASS or CAMB, propagate it to the CMB power spectra, and evaluate the Planck isocurvature likelihood over the (H_I, g, m_A_prime) parameter space.
Z3 scotogenic neutrinophilic scalar dark matter (arXiv:2307.15760 · score 23)No public detector likelihood exists for monoenergetic neutrino lines from MeV-to-sub-GeV p-wave scalar DM annihilation in JUNO/Hyper-Kamiokande/DUNE-class detectors, including neutrino backgrounds, oscillations, and flavor composition.
proposed resolution: Recast published JUNO/Super-K diffuse-neutrino and DM-annihilation line analyses into a reusable sigma-v versus m_DM likelihood, with p-wave velocity suppression and the model's flavor branching folded in.
QCD-transition sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0204293 · score 23)No Ly-alpha/small-scale-structure likelihood accepts this model's non-thermal, possibly resonant momentum distribution; the card's WDM bound is applied only via an approximate thermal-WDM equivalent mass without any transfer-function run.
proposed resolution: Pipe the solver's f_s(p) into CLASS as a tabulated ncdm species to compute the model transfer function, then evaluate it against an existing public Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS-based WDM analyses) via the standard area-criterion or direct emulator recast.
Supersymmetric axion dark matter with early stronger QCD (arXiv:1505.00306 · score 22)The CMB constraints are applied as single quoted 2015-era numbers (isocurvature inequality and tensor bound near H about 10^14 GeV) rather than a current CMB isocurvature/tensor likelihood, so the viable window is not evaluated against up-to-date data.
proposed resolution: Map the model's predicted uncorrelated CDM isocurvature fraction and tensor-to-scalar ratio onto the Planck 2018 (plus BICEP/Keck) beta_iso and r likelihoods via CLASS/CAMB with an isocurvature mode in a standard sampler, replacing the quoted inequalities.
U(1)_X isospin-violating asymmetric Dirac dark matter (arXiv:1311.0022 · score 22)Only an approximate 2013-era LUX/XENON100-versus-CDMS-Si comparison exists; there is no modern global direct-detection likelihood for the isospin-violating (f_n/f_p near -0.7) low-mass window, which is the model's defining observable.
proposed resolution: Recast current xenon (LZ/XENONnT), silicon/germanium low-threshold, and NaI limits with a generalized-couplings direct-detection likelihood (DDCalc-class extended to arbitrary f_n/f_p and light-mediator finite-q corrections near m_h1 = 200 MeV) over the (m_chi, sigma_p, f_n/f_p) space.
Ballistic Dark Matter (arXiv:1811.00028 · score 22)No quantitative likelihood analysis exists for the BDM parameter space: the z_star > 5e4 bound for the all-BDM case is a by-eye comparison to WiggleZ-scale matter power without nuisance parameters, degeneracy marginalization, or Planck/BBN likelihood evaluation.
proposed resolution: Couple the BDM-enabled Boltzmann code to Cobaya/MontePython with the Planck 2018, BAO, and full-shape galaxy power spectrum likelihoods (plus a BBN Delta N_eff prior for post-BBN transitions) and run an MCMC over (z_star, transition width, f_BDM).
Z3-symmetric NMSSM light singlino funnel dark matter (arXiv:1907.06270 · score 22)Relic-density and direct-detection viability are imposed as hard scan cuts (0.107 < Omega h^2 < 0.131, fixed sigma_SI/sigma_SD thresholds) rather than through the actual Planck and XENON/LZ-class experimental likelihoods, so blind-spot regions near the cut boundaries cannot be assessed statistically.
proposed resolution: Wrap the micrOMEGAs outputs in existing public likelihoods — the Planck Omega h^2 Gaussian and DDCalc/LZ-style direct-detection likelihoods as used in GAMBIT — updated to current exposure, replacing the step-function scan cuts.
Portalino-inspired neutrino-portal Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:2208.02698 · score 22)No quantitative BBN/CMB likelihood exists for long-lived Portalinos: the excluded region in (tau_n, m_n, mixing) is drawn from approximate analytic lifetime and radiation-density estimates rather than a computed N_eff and light-element response to late Portalino decays.
proposed resolution: Solve the Portalino decoupling and decay history with a thermal-history Boltzmann code coupled to a BBN network (AlterBBN/PRyMordial-class tools plus an N_eff calculation) and interface the result to the Planck N_eff likelihood.
Cold dark matter condensate transition model (arXiv:astro-ph/0211303 · score 22)The only constraint is a historical COBE/DASI/MAXIMA/BOOMERANG/CBI + 2dF + HZT/SCP likelihood; no modern CMB/LSS/SN reanalysis pipeline for the condensate parameters (Omega_Q, w_f, z_t) exists, so current exclusions cannot be stated.
proposed resolution: Couple the modified CLASS module of gap_1 to Cobaya with Planck 2018, modern BAO, and Pantheon+ likelihoods and rerun the four-parameter scan (Omega_Q, w_f, z_t, H_0) with the other cosmological parameters freed.
Non-SUSY SO(10) triplet fermion dark matter (arXiv:1608.03956 · score 22)The loop-level spin-independent triplet-nucleon cross section and its comparison to LUX/XENON-class data are not implemented; the card only cites related-work statements and records likelihood_available: no.
proposed resolution: Implement the known two-loop electroweak result for hyperchargeless-triplet sigma_SI (wino-like, ~1e-47 cm^2 level) and evaluate it with DDCalc against XENONnT/LZ likelihoods, including the SO(10) scalar-content corrections noted in the card caveats.
Hidden-sector coscattering dark matter (arXiv:1705.08450 · score 22)No likelihood pipeline exists that maps the residual active-state (n2) abundance, lifetime, and visible branching fractions to CMB spectral-distortion, CMB anisotropy energy-injection, N_eff, and BBN constraints for this model; the card records the CMB spectral-distortion likelihood as unavailable and the BBN recast as not run.
proposed resolution: Build a thin wrapper feeding the (abundance, tau_psi, branching fraction) output of the coscattering solver into ExoCLASS/DarkAges for anisotropy energy-injection limits, a CLASS spectral-distortion module compared to FIRAS, and an injection-capable BBN code, packaged as a reusable late-decay likelihood.
Supersymmetric SO(10) mixed LSP-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0604270 · score 22)No modern mixed cold-plus-hot dark-matter likelihood is wired to the model: the hot tau-neutrino fraction Omega_HDM has not been confronted with Planck/BAO/LSS neutrino-mass bounds, which likely exclude much of the historical HDM component, and the card marks the structure-consistency constraint recast_required with no likelihood.
proposed resolution: Map (m_nu, Omega_HDM, Omega_CDM) onto a standard nuCDM parameterization in CLASS or CAMB and evaluate the public Planck plus BAO/LSS likelihoods (e.g., via Cobaya or MontePython), replacing the qualitative 2006 structure argument.
Charged-excitation scalar doublet WIMP Case B (arXiv:1209.6358 · score 21)No reusable likelihood exists for the MeV gamma de-excitation signature in EXO-200, KamLAND-Zen, SNO, and Borexino: only published high-energy spectra with conservative background subtraction were used, and gamma-escape and acceptance effects can shift limits by a factor of about two.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published high-energy event spectra, model each detector's response (resolution, gamma-escape probability, fiducial acceptance) with a lightweight Monte Carlo, and package a binned Poisson likelihood over (Delta m, tau, capture rate), extendable to KamLAND-Zen 800 and nEXO-class data.
High-scale-inflation Q-ball dark matter and baryogenesis scenario (arXiv:1408.1176 · score 21)The isocurvature and BBN constraints are applied only as analytic pass/fail cuts using Planck 2014 inputs; no coupling to a current CMB isocurvature likelihood or BBN network exists, so the allowed (H_inf, phi_inf, T_RH) window cannot be re-derived with modern data.
proposed resolution: Map the flat-direction baryon/CDM isocurvature amplitude into the Planck 2018 (or later) isocurvature likelihood via CLASS plus a sampler such as MontePython/Cobaya, and check late-decaying gauge-mediation Q-ball energy injection against a standard BBN code (e.g. AlterBBN/PRIMAT).
Next-to-minimal supergravity-motivated neutralino dark matter (arXiv:0808.0770 · score 21)No reusable combined likelihood exists for the NmSuGra parameter space: the card's constraint set is the 2008 WMAP-upper-bound/CDMS/LEP/muon g-2/b-physics envelope, superseded by Planck, LHC Run 2 SUSY and Higgs results, and LZ-class direct-detection limits, none of which are implemented for this model.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the scan in a modern global-fit pipeline: NMSSMTools/micrOMEGAs for spectrum, relic density and sigma_SI, DDCalc for LZ/XENONnT likelihoods, and updated flavor and Higgs-mass constraints (e.g. via HiggsTools), combined in a GAMBIT-style composite likelihood over (M0, M1/2, A0, tan beta, lambda).
Nonthermal split-spectrum SUSY WIMP dark matter from moduli decay (arXiv:1312.3636 · score 21)No modern CMB likelihood analysis exists for this model's correlated multi-mode isocurvature plus Delta N_eff initial conditions; the primary analysis is WMAP-era and the card marks the Planck recast as unavailable, so current constraints on alpha_iso, cos Delta, and Delta N_eff cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Implement the model's initial-mode covariance (correlated CDM isocurvature, dark-radiation isocurvature, and adiabatic modes) as initial conditions in CAMB or CLASS, then run Planck 2018 TT/TE/EE+lensing likelihoods through Cobaya or MontePython, scanning modulus mass, T_r, and branching fractions with the paper's prior structures.
Curvature-coupled (pseudo-)scalar dark matter (arXiv:1905.09836 · score 21)No CMB isocurvature likelihood interface exists for the model: Planck CDM-isocurvature bounds are published for power-law spectra, and no recast maps the curvature-coupled scalar's specific large-scale isocurvature spectrum onto a quantitative constraint on (m_phi, xi, H_I, N_tot, phi_e).
proposed resolution: Feed the model's isocurvature transfer through CLASS with an uncorrelated CDM-isocurvature initial condition and evaluate the Planck (or equivalent) likelihood over the model parameter grid, publishing the resulting exclusion surface as a reusable table.
Neutrino-philic twin two-Higgs-doublet cogenesis (arXiv:2005.06471 · score 21)No direct-detection likelihood or acceptance recast exists for 5.5 GeV twin nucleons scattering through combined Higgs and dark-photon portals at low-threshold experiments (PandaX, XENON-1T, CDMS-lite class); the card only cites projection-level statements.
proposed resolution: Implement the twin-nucleon sigma_SI (Higgs-portal plus kinetic-mixing contributions) in DDCalc or an equivalent public direct-detection likelihood package and evaluate against published low-mass efficiency curves.
B-L origin QCD axion dark matter (arXiv:2005.10415 · score 21)The isocurvature constraint on H_inf uses a single quoted source-era bound rather than the full CMB isocurvature likelihood, so the H_inf-F_a-theta_a exclusion cannot be updated or combined with other cosmological data.
proposed resolution: Map the model's uncorrelated CDM isocurvature amplitude P_ISO(H_inf, F_a, theta_a) into the public Planck isocurvature likelihood via CLASS/CAMB initial conditions in a MontePython or Cobaya pipeline.
Mirror baryon plus PBH-evaporated scalar singlet dark matter (arXiv:2208.09566 · score 21)No implemented likelihood exists for the mirror-sector cosmology constraint: the N_eff contribution from mirror radiation (x = T'/T) and the mirror-baryon fraction beta are only checked against assumed safety conditions (x < 0.5, 0.1 < beta < 5), and the card records likelihood_available: no with no BBN/N_eff likelihood rerun.
proposed resolution: Map (x, beta) to Delta N_eff and an interacting mirror-baryon fluid in a modified CLASS/CAMB run, and evaluate against the Planck lite plus BBN abundance likelihoods to replace the fixed x < 0.5 assumption with an actual posterior over the mirror-sector parameters.
Thermalized boosted milli-charged dark matter subcomponent (arXiv:2210.03126 · score 21)No packaged likelihoods exist for the constraint set: heavy-X nuclear-recoil limits (XENON1T/PandaX/LUX/PICO/CRESST/CDMSlite), electron-recoil searches, and BBN/CMB N_eff plus stellar-cooling bounds are all applied as digitized exclusion contours at two fixed mass ratios rather than as reusable likelihood functions.
proposed resolution: Assemble a likelihood module combining public direct-detection efficiency/exposure data (e.g. via DDCalc-style recasts of the listed experiments) with a CLASS-based Planck N_eff likelihood for f_MCP and a massless dark photon, parameterized in (m_ell, m_X/m_ell, Q, alpha_D, f_MCP).
Baryon-including generalized Chaplygin gas quartessence (arXiv:astro-ph/0303564 · score 21)The only constraints are a figure-based 2dF likelihood with WMAP-era priors and related (not model-identical) WMAP/SNIa limits; no reusable likelihood over (alpha, A) for the baryon-including quartessence exists against modern data.
proposed resolution: Couple the CLASS implementation from gap_1 to Cobaya/MontePython with Planck 2018, modern galaxy power spectra (BOSS/DESI, linear cuts as in the paper), and Pantheon+ SNe, and rescan the (alpha, A, Omega_b0, h) space to replace the historical contours.
Bulk-shortcut sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0504096 · score 21)Existing Ly-alpha and X-ray sterile-neutrino WDM bounds are calibrated for thermal or standard resonant-production spectra; no validated procedure maps them onto the (uncomputed) nonthermal shortcut-production distribution, as the card's recast_required constraints note.
proposed resolution: Once f(p) is available, compute T(k) with CLASS's non-cold-relic module and apply a generalized suppression-shape criterion (e.g., the area-criterion recast of Ly-alpha WDM limits) rather than the thermal-mass mapping; pair with standard X-ray decay-line limits at the model's (m_s, theta).
Two-neutrino hot dark matter with a four-neutrino mass pattern (arXiv:hep-ph/9910349 · score 21)No runnable likelihood exists for the CHDM structure fit: the 2000-era CMB plus galaxy-survey compilation behind the quoted probabilities (0.09/0.34) is not preserved as software, and no modern-data recast of the two-degenerate-neutrino hot component has been set up.
proposed resolution: Recast with current data: run CLASS with N_massive=2 degenerate neutrinos at the historical parameter point and a free (sum m_nu, Omega_nu) grid through Cobaya/MontePython against Planck 2018 plus BOSS/eBOSS full-shape likelihoods, replacing the unrecoverable source-era compilation.
Neutral SU(2)_N vector-boson dark matter (arXiv:1007.2631 · score 20)Only the historical 2010 CDMS Ge envelope is available for the h-exchange X_1-nucleon scattering; no modern direct-detection likelihood (LZ/XENONnT-class) has been recast onto the (m_X, m_h) plane.
proposed resolution: Once the model cross section is computable (gap_1), recast current LZ/XENONnT spin-independent limits with a standard direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc) to replace the historical CDMS mass window.
Flavor-specific scalar mediator secluded Dirac dark matter (arXiv:2104.03238 · score 20)No CMB energy-injection likelihood exists for this model: the S-wave bound-state-formation injection has not been mapped to a Planck constraint because the scalar's flavor-specific decay branchings and the resulting deposited-energy efficiency f_eff(z) were never computed for this dark sector.
proposed resolution: Compute the scalar branching fractions to mu+mu-, hadrons, and photons from the flavor-specific couplings, derive f_eff(z) with DarkHistory, and impose the Planck p_ann bound via ExoCLASS/CLASS on the combined annihilation-plus-BSF injection rate.
S3 schizophrenic-neutrino right-handed sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:1008.1232 · score 20)The N_eff prediction (Delta N_eff up to about 1 for a 1 TeV Z-prime) has not been confronted with a modern Planck+BAO/BBN N_eff likelihood; the card marks the likelihood as only partial and the recast as needed.
proposed resolution: Map T_D(M_Zprime) to Delta N_eff with standard entropy-conservation formulae and evaluate against the published Planck 2018 plus BAO N_eff posterior (or a CLASS/MontePython run), producing an exclusion on the B-L breaking scale.
Low-scale trinification Majoron dark matter (arXiv:2004.11450 · score 20)No low-threshold direct-detection recast exists for Higgs-mediated scattering of sub-MeV scalar dark matter, where nuclear-recoil energies fall below conventional detector thresholds; the paper only points to the channel without computing limits.
proposed resolution: Recast electron-recoil and Migdal-effect analyses (e.g. XENON-class and semiconductor low-threshold experiments) for a sub-MeV Higgs-portal scalar with freeze-in-sized lambda_LR, to establish whether any present or planned experiment reaches the relevant cross sections.
Leptophilic scalar dark matter in a gauged U(1)_ model (arXiv:2110.10513 · score 20)No combined likelihood exists for the joint viability constraint (muon g-2, b -> s mu mu Wilson coefficients, relic band, XENON1T-class direct detection, neutrino trident, LHC multileptons); the card records likelihood_available: no and notes that no post-2022 flavor-anomaly global fit or updated direct-detection limit has been applied.
proposed resolution: Assemble a joint likelihood using flavio/smelli for the b -> s mu mu Wilson coefficients and delta a_mu with current world averages, updated LZ/XENONnT spin-independent limits for the Higgs-portal coupling, published neutrino-trident bounds on (g_prime, m_Z_prime), and recast LHC multilepton limits, exposed over the full scan parameter vector.
Atomic dark matter subcomponent forming dark stars (arXiv:2208.08557 · score 20)The cosmological constraint on (epsilon, xi, m_X, m_e_dark, alpha_D) from dark acoustic oscillations, N_eff, and galaxy morphology is only carried over from cited benchmarks (epsilon <= 0.05, xi = 0.5); no CMB/matter-power likelihood has been rerun for this model's parameter space.
proposed resolution: Use an existing atomic-dark-matter/ETHOS-type CLASS implementation to compute DAO-suppressed transfer functions over the card's parameter grid and run Planck plus matter-power likelihoods (MontePython/Cobaya) to derive posterior bounds on epsilon and xi specific to this benchmark.
Hybrid two-scalar dark sector (arXiv:2211.13653 · score 20)No dedicated MCMC constraint pipeline exists for the exact hybrid potential: current bounds are only recast from related coupled-dark-energy analyses, and the card notes a dedicated run with Planck+lensing+BAO+SN+RSD+weak-lensing data is required to obtain posteriors on (M, g, lambda, phi_i, chi_i).
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS module exists, interface it with MontePython or Cobaya and run an MCMC over the hybrid-potential parameters against Planck 2018 (TT,TE,EE+lensing), BAO, SNe, and RSD/f sigma8 data, reproducing the coupled-dark-energy bounds as a validation limit.
Sterile-neutrino dark matter from Higgs-singlet decays (arXiv:hep-ph/0609081 · score 20)No collider likelihood covers the singlet-Higgs sector: the invisible-Higgs and displaced-vertex reach quoted for the historical 120 GeV benchmark has not been recast with current LHC Higgs measurements and long-lived-particle searches.
proposed resolution: Implement the H-S mixing and S -> NN branching in a Higgs-sector constraint tool (HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals-class plus current ATLAS/CMS invisible-width limits) and recast relevant displaced-vertex searches for the long-lived singlet decay length.
Flaxino dark matter with stau NLSP (arXiv:0801.4108 · score 20)No packaged BBN light-element likelihood is available for late-decaying charged stau NLSPs in this scenario; the card records only approximate literature bounds, so the BBN safety of near-degenerate stau-flaxino spectra cannot be evaluated quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's (tau_stau, stau abundance) plane through public BBN codes that include hadronic/electromagnetic injection and charged-particle catalysis (e.g. AlterBBN/PArthENoPE-class codes with CBBN bound-state corrections), packaged as a likelihood over the card's constrained parameters.
Neutrinophilic local U(1) singlet-fermion dark matter (arXiv:1212.5709 · score 20)No quantitative LFV likelihood exists (con_neutrinophilic_lfv_zprime has likelihood_available: no): the claim that anarchical Yukawa choices keep mu->e gamma and related rates below sensitivity is qualitative, with no branching-ratio calculator wired to MEG/Mu2e-class limits for this model's Y_nu and v_2 structure.
proposed resolution: Derive the one-loop LFV branching ratios in the neutrinophilic 2HDM as functions of Y_nu and v_2 (or adapt an existing 2HDM LFV code) and wrap current MEG-II and future Mu2e limits into a likelihood over the flavor parameters.
Dirac dark photon hidden-sector thermal relic (arXiv:2003.04936 · score 20)No Ly-alpha forest flux-power likelihood is interfaced to this model's hidden-sector hot-relic transfer functions; the existing 3.3 keV thermal-WDM bound can only be applied through an unvalidated thermal-equivalent recast, and the card records no available likelihood for step s4.
proposed resolution: Interface CLASS-computed transfer functions for the rescaled-thermal hidden-sector distribution to a public Ly-alpha likelihood or emulator (e.g. a lym1d/eBOSS-style flux-power likelihood or the Murgia et al. area-criterion recast), marginalizing over IGM thermal history, and validate against the 3.3 keV thermal-WDM limit in the pure-WDM limit.
Asymmetric right-handed sneutrino dark matter in a supersymmetric neutrinophilic Higgs model (arXiv:1406.0228 · score 19)The loop-induced, neutron-dominated Z-coupling cross section is only compared against a hand-recast LUX-era limit; no modern isospin-violating direct-detection likelihood evaluation (LZ/XENONnT-class) exists for the (M_N2, loop trilinear ratio) plane.
proposed resolution: Implement the loop-induced sneutrino-Z effective coupling as neutron/proton-specific couplings in DDCalc (or micrOMEGAs direct-detection module) and evaluate the public LZ and XENONnT likelihoods over the benchmark parameter plane.
Affine-EOS quintessence unified dark fluid (arXiv:0706.3667 · score 19)No likelihood analysis exists for the affine parameters (p_0, alpha): background viability and the sound-speed bound are stated qualitatively (likelihood_available: no/unknown) with no parameter posterior from expansion-history or perturbation data.
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS implementation of gap_1 exists, run an MCMC (MontePython/Cobaya) with Planck CMB, BAO, and supernova likelihoods over (p_0, alpha, initial scalar trajectory) to produce the first quantitative affine-quintessence constraint.
SU(5) non-universal gaugino-mass neutralino dark matter (arXiv:0808.3094 · score 19)The viability of the WMAP-era allowed regions is not evaluated against modern data: no Planck relic-density target, Run-2 LHC simplified-model limits, or current direct-detection (LZ/XENONnT-class) likelihood is applied to the SU(5) representation benchmarks (con_lhc_and_direct_update is a recast flag only).
proposed resolution: Rerun the SOFTSUSY+micrOMEGAs scan against the Planck Omega_CDM h^2 band, pass spectra through SModelS for Run-2 LHC limits, and evaluate sigma_SI with micrOMEGAs plus DDCalc likelihoods for LZ/XENONnT, packaging the combination as a reusable constraint set.
SO(10) GUT inflation model with axion dark matter (arXiv:0810.3625 · score 19)The inflation-scale constraint is applied only as a WMAP5-era n_s ~ 0.96 target with no likelihood (likelihood_available no, recasting_needed yes); the Coleman-Weinberg/Higgs-potential predictions have not been confronted with any modern CMB likelihood including the r-n_s plane.
proposed resolution: Recompute the n_s and r predictions of the Coleman-Weinberg and Higgs-potential cases and evaluate them against the Planck 2018 plus BICEP/Keck likelihoods with Cobaya or MontePython (CLASS backend), scanning the SO(10) breaking-scale inputs.
Gravitationally produced nonthermal X-boson dark matter (arXiv:1110.5931 · score 19)No CMB likelihood exists for this model's specific signatures: a strongly blue-tilted uncorrelated CDM isocurvature spectrum (the quoted alpha < 0.064 bound assumes scale invariance) and local non-Gaussianity sourced by an isocurvature rather than adiabatic mode, for which no Planck-era template recast is available.
proposed resolution: Add a parameterized blue-tilted CDI spectrum (amplitude and tilt at k0 = 0.002 Mpc^-1) to CLASS and constrain it with the Planck 2018 likelihoods in Cobaya/MontePython, and recast the Planck isocurvature-bispectrum f_NL analysis onto this model's isocurvature-sourced local shape.
Two-real-singlet light scalar dark matter (arXiv:1201.4614 · score 19)No reusable likelihoods exist for any of the model's constraints: the direct-detection comparison uses XENON10/CDMS-era published curves, and the LEP light-scalar compatibility has no recast likelihood, so exclusion statements cannot be updated to current data.
proposed resolution: Couple the model implementation to DDCalc for current xenon-target (LZ/XENONnT-class) likelihoods on sigma_SI, and run the mixed-scalar spectrum through HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals-class tools for the LEP/LHC light-scalar and heavy-scalar constraints.
Yukawa-coupled quintessence fermion dark matter (arXiv:1411.3660 · score 19)The published constraints rest on Planck-2013 TT + WMAP polarization, Union 2.1 SNIa, and the HST H0 prior; no analysis pipeline with current-generation likelihoods (Planck 2018/ACT, modern BAO and SNIa compilations) exists for this model, so the reported negative-interaction preference cannot be re-evaluated.
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS/CAMB module exists, wire it into Cobaya or MontePython with Planck 2018, DESI/BOSS BAO, and Pantheon+ likelihoods and rerun the (beta/M, alpha) posterior, including the fixed-alpha case.
Curvature-induced adiabatic scalar singlet dark matter (arXiv:2005.04061 · score 19)No pipeline connects the model's residual isocurvature fraction to a CMB likelihood: the adiabaticity claim rests on the analytic heavy-field tracking argument and no Planck isocurvature recast exists for the parameter region where tracking becomes marginal.
proposed resolution: Derive the isocurvature transfer for the spectator perturbations (including the light/marginal-tracking regime), implement it as a CDM-isocurvature amplitude in CLASS or CAMB, and constrain (m, xi, H_end) with the Planck adiabatic-plus-isocurvature likelihood in MontePython or Cobaya.
N=1 axion domain-wall decay dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/9807374 · score 19)The route explicitly has no likelihood: existing haloscope analyses (ADMX-class) assume a standard halo model lineshape, and no likelihood exists for a cavity spectrum containing a population-II component broadened by the order-10^3 velocity-dispersion enhancement.
proposed resolution: Extend a public haloscope lineshape likelihood to a two-component signal model (narrow population I plus broadened population II parameterized by its local fraction and dispersion) and recast existing cavity exclusion data with it.
Chiral vorton dark matter from Witten-type superconducting strings (arXiv:hep-ph/9806480 · score 19)No likelihood exists for the vorton overclosure and early-matter-domination constraint: the excluded Gmu band comes from an order-of-magnitude semianalytic argument and has never been recast against modern BBN and CMB data (likelihood_available is 'no' and recasting_needed is 'yes').
proposed resolution: Implement the vorton energy-density history as an early-matter-domination component in a Boltzmann code such as CLASS or CAMB and derive posterior bounds on (Gmu, s) from Planck CMB and standard BBN abundance likelihoods, replacing the symbolic excluded band with a statistical constraint.
Dirac heavy thermal hot relic with heavy scalar mediator (arXiv:2003.04936 · score 18)No Ly-alpha forest flux-power likelihood is interfaced to the hidden-sector hot-relic transfer functions of this scalar-mediated Dirac model; the 3.3 keV thermal-WDM limit can only be applied via an unvalidated thermal-equivalent recast, and step s4 has no available likelihood.

proposed resolution: Construct a recast module that folds the boosted velocity distribution into the published PICO nucleation efficiency curves and exposure to produce a Poisson likelihood, structured like a DDCalc experiment module but accepting an arbitrary nonthermal incoming flux instead of a halo velocity distribution.
Mirror baryon plus heavy primordial-black-hole multicomponent dark matter (arXiv:2208.09566 · score 18)The mirror-radiation bound is imposed only as the assumed safety condition x < 0.5; no N_eff likelihood has been run mapping the mirror temperature ratio x and mirror-baryon fraction beta onto BBN and Planck constraints for this scenario.
proposed resolution: Map x to delta N_eff with the standard mirror-sector degrees-of-freedom relation, include the mirror-baryon fraction in the background of CLASS or CAMB, and evaluate the Planck+BBN N_eff likelihood (Cobaya/MontePython) to convert the assumed x < 0.5 condition into a posterior bound on (x, beta).
Right-handed sneutrino superWIMP from late neutralino decay (arXiv:hep-ph/0701007 · score 18)The route has no quantitative likelihood step: the exact suppressed transfer function of the decay-produced right-handed sneutrino is never computed (the chain stops at analytic lambda_FS), and both the Ly-alpha bound and the CMB/LSS relativistic-energy-injection bound are applied only through approximate WDM-style and figure-level mappings.
proposed resolution: Adapt the public two-body decaying-CDM CLASS extension (neutralino lifetime tau and mass splitting Delta map directly onto its parameters) to compute the exact daughter transfer function and neutrino energy release, then constrain it with an area-criterion Ly-alpha WDM likelihood and the Planck CMB/LSS likelihoods in MontePython/Cobaya.
Right-handed Kaluza-Klein neutrino superWIMP from late KK decay (arXiv:hep-ph/0701007 · score 17)The route has no quantitative likelihood step: the exact suppressed transfer function of the decay-produced right-handed KK neutrino is never computed (the chain stops at analytic lambda_FS), and both the Ly-alpha bound and the CMB/LSS relativistic-energy-injection bound are applied only through approximate WDM-style and figure-level mappings.
proposed resolution: Adapt the public two-body decaying-CDM CLASS extension (parent lifetime tau and mass splitting Delta map directly onto its parameters) to compute the exact daughter transfer function and Neff-like energy release, then constrain it with an area-criterion Ly-alpha WDM likelihood and the Planck CMB/LSS likelihoods in MontePython/Cobaya.

proposed resolution: Couple the model outputs to DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT exposures and DARWIN projections) for sigma_SI(m_S) and to the Planck N_eff posterior (via CLASS+Cobaya) for the assumed twin spectrum, scanning (m_S, f/v, m_hhat) along the relic-fixed lambda_HS curve.
Two-hidden-sector long-lived dark photon dark matter (arXiv:2106.06494 · score 16)The Delta N_eff constraint on the two hidden-sector temperatures is applied only as a quoted BBN/CMB/BAO bound; no likelihood pipeline propagates the model's redshift-dependent hidden radiation content through a CMB/BBN fit.
proposed resolution: Map the solved T1(z), T2(z) histories onto a Delta N_eff(z) input for CLASS/CAMB and evaluate against the Planck+BAO likelihood (and PArthENoPE/PRIMAT for BBN), replacing the single-number bound with a proper posterior.
Heavy thermal hot relic dark matter in a cooler hidden sector (arXiv:2003.04936 · score 16)No Ly-alpha forest flux-power likelihood is interfaced to the cooler-hidden-sector hot-relic transfer functions of this framework; the 3.3 keV thermal-WDM bound applies only through a thermal-equivalent recast whose validity across the keV-to-PeV, Tprime/T ~ 1e-1 to 1e-5 parameter space is unquantified, and step s4 records no available likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a recast pipeline that maps (m_DM, Tprime/T) to CLASS ncdm transfer functions and feeds them to a public Ly-alpha likelihood or emulator (e.g. lym1d/eBOSS-style flux power or the Murgia et al. area criterion) with IGM thermal-history marginalization, validated against the thermal-WDM 3.3 keV limit.
One-component non-thermal flavon portal dark matter (arXiv:2211.02057 · score 13)No interfaced BBN likelihood exists for late-decaying flavons with hadronic/visible energy injection; the constraint is applied only as literature exclusion curves, so the lifetime-branching boundary of the viable region cannot be evaluated quantitatively.

Light scalar dark matter clumps with angular momentum (arXiv:1804.07255 · score 36)The photon-resonance (Floquet) solver from the cited follow-up paper is not public and has never been applied to non-spherical l > 0 clump profiles, so the predicted angular-momentum-enabled radio resonance cannot be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement an open-source Floquet-exponent solver for axion-photon parametric resonance that accepts non-spherical field profiles, validate it on the follow-up paper's spherical no-resonance result, then scan the l > 0 branch in (l, M, g_a_gamma).

Massive dark photon soliton EFT (arXiv:2301.11470 · score 36)No public solver exists for polarized vector Schrodinger-Poisson solitons; existing fuzzy-dark-matter soliton codes are scalar-field only, so the profile input to the Floquet and flux calculations cannot be generated with named public tools.

QCD axion hot-and-cold dark matter from saxion decay (arXiv:1310.1774 · score 35)No Boltzmann-solver implementation exists for the nonthermal axion population from saxion decay: the card gives only an approximate distribution function, and computing Delta N_eff and the effective HDM mass m_eff self-consistently requires evolving a noncold species with the colder-than-thermal saxion-decay momentum spectrum through the CMB/LSS era.
proposed resolution: Derive the saxion-decay axion phase-space distribution f(q) as a function of T_sigma and the branching fraction, and implement it as a custom ncdm species in CLASS (which accepts user-supplied momentum distributions), validating against the analytic Delta N_eff and m_eff limits quoted in the paper.
T-model attractor scalar-field dark matter (arXiv:1703.03295 · score 35)No Boltzmann or background code implements the T-model attractor potential: the background scan (V0, alpha, rho_i, m -> Omega_m today) including the flat plateau wings that make initial conditions non-generic, and the linear transfer function through that early phase, are not covered by existing ultralight-scalar solvers, which assume a harmonic m^2 phi^2 potential from the start.

Noninteracting WIMP and QCD axion dark matter in an early matter dominated epoch (arXiv:2308.16242 · score 34)The coupled modulus-radiation-axion-WIMP background Boltzmann solver used in the paper is not established as publicly released, so the relic densities and dilution factors that anchor both routes cannot be recomputed with an existing public tool.

High-decay-constant QCD axion dark matter with PBH-seeded UCMHs (arXiv:2205.02255 · score 33)The neutron-star/UCMH transient radio signal is estimated at paper level; existing public neutron-star axion-photon conversion pipelines assume ambient halo dark matter and are not adapted to transient encounters with dense UCMH profiles.

Axion-axino dark matter with gravitino-sourced dark radiation (arXiv:1107.4319 · score 32)No public coupled Boltzmann solver evolves the full PQ sector of this scenario - axion misalignment plus KSVZ/DFSZ axino thermal and freeze-in production, saxion decays to axions/gluons with possible entropy injection, LOSP freeze-out and decay, and gravitino decay to axino plus axion - so the multi-component axion/axino relic density and its consistency with the Delta N_eff prediction cannot be computed end-to-end.

Post-inflationary axion dark matter from topological defects (arXiv:1412.0789 · score 32)No public abundance calculator combines misalignment, string, and domain-wall contributions with the temperature-dependent QCD axion mass and the fitted defect-simulation quantities, so the mass-window derivation and its sensitivity to simulation inputs cannot be re-evaluated without reimplementing the paper's formulae.
proposed resolution: Package the misalignment-plus-defect abundance formulae with a modern lattice chi(T) into a small public code (e.g. as an extension of a misalignment calculator like MiMeS), taking the defect spectrum fits from gap_1 outputs as swappable inputs and exposing N_DW and bias-term parameters for the wall-decay constraint overlay.
DFSZ freeze-in axino dark matter with bilinear R-parity violation (arXiv:1707.06418 · score 32)No public solver exists for the DFSZ freeze-in axino phase-space distribution: the channel-specific collision-term Boltzmann integration (2-body, 3-body, 2-to-2 with thermal masses) plus saxion entropy dilution is only implemented in the authors' private code.

Sub-dominant axino decay gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1104.0692 · score 31)No transfer-function calculation exists for the mixed cold-gravitino plus relativistic decay-produced gravitino population: the card provides no phase-space distribution (distribution_function_available no) and the sub-3-percent warm-fraction bound is inherited from an approximate dark-radiation/warm-component estimate, not from a Boltzmann hierarchy for this two-population gravitino spectrum.
proposed resolution: Derive the decay-produced gravitino momentum distribution f(q) from axino -> gravitino + axion (analytic for two-body decay of a frozen thermal axino population), combine it with the cold freeze-in gravitino component, and feed the tabulated mixed distribution to the CLASS ncdm module to compute the mixed cold+warm matter power spectrum as a function of Y_axino/Y_gravitino, m_axino, and tau_axino.

Invisible QCD axion sector compatible with ARS leptogenesis (arXiv:1807.03309 · score 31)No public ARS leptogenesis kinetic solver includes the PQ-sector interaction rates (axion and radial-mode scattering with the sterile neutrinos via h_N), so the compatibility of the axion sector with the baryon asymmetry rests on leading-rate estimates rather than a density-matrix computation.

mSUGRA mixed axion/axino dark matter (arXiv:0906.2595 · score 30)No coupled Boltzmann solver is wired into the route for the full PQ-augmented cosmology: the three-component relic sum uses separate analytic formulas, without simultaneous evolution of axion, thermal/nonthermal axino, saxion, gravitino, and late neutralino-NLSP decay for the T_R = 1e6-1e9 GeV regime.

PQMSSM mixed axion/axino cold dark matter (arXiv:1005.2215 · score 30)No reusable public code assembles the full PQMSSM abundance pipeline for scans: the card notes the paper is formula-rich but no code artifact combines Isajet/IsaReD SUGRA-19 neutralino freeze-out with the analytic misalignment-axion, thermal-axino, and nonthermal-axino contributions into Omega_total h^2.

proposed resolution: Implement the model in CLASS as a two-field dark sector: an oscillation-averaged effective fluid for phi (mass-dependent sound speed, as in ultralight-axion implementations) switching to a quintessence-like component at the transition, then constrain (T_c, f, M) against Planck plus BAO/growth likelihoods via MontePython or Cobaya.
Nonzero-initial-velocity axion misalignment dark matter (arXiv:1911.11885 · score 26)No public axion relic-abundance solver implements misalignment with nonzero initial field velocity: existing misalignment codes assume dot_theta_i = 0, so the paper's shifted f_a windows cannot be scanned automatically with temperature-dependent m_a(T) and entropy history.

Three-Higgs flavored Peccei-Quinn invisible axion model (arXiv:1410.6218 · score 24)No relic-abundance calculation exists for the 3HFPQ axion class: the misalignment/domain-wall contribution as a function of v_PQ, N_DW, and the PQ-breaking epoch is not implemented, so whether a given charge assignment yields the full dark matter density cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Implement the standard misalignment relic-density formulae (e.g. with a MiMeS-style axion cosmology code) parameterized by (m_a, v_PQ, N_DW, pre- vs post-inflationary PQ breaking), applying published string-wall simulation calibrations for the post-inflationary N_DW = 1 variants.
Light vector dark matter with neutrino contact scattering (arXiv:1903.05096 · score 24)No numerical Boltzmann solver treats thermalization of the misalignment-produced vector condensate and distortion of the neutrino distribution via the dimension-seven neutrino-vector operator in a low-reheating (T_R ~ 5 MeV) cosmology, so the BBN/CMB constraint rests on single-scattering rate estimates.
proposed resolution: Derive and solve the coupled momentum-space Boltzmann equations for the nu-X system in a low-reheating background, extending the low-T_R neutrino thermalization framework of arXiv:1411.6005 with the s^2-scaling collision term, and map the result onto N_eff and BBN abundances.
Non-minimally coupled ultra-light axion cold dark matter (arXiv:2110.04322 · score 24)No public Einstein-Boltzmann code includes the xi R phi^2 non-minimal coupling for an ultralight axion: the paper's custom recast is not packaged, and existing ULA solvers lack the non-minimal background and perturbation terms, so P(k), Phi(k,a), and the dark-radiation fraction cannot be regenerated across (xi, m_phi, initial-condition) space.
proposed resolution: Extend AxiCLASS (or CLASS's scalar-field module) with the non-minimally coupled background and linear perturbation equations, including a WKB/effective-fluid switch in the rapid-oscillation regime and support for adiabatic, isocurvature, and mixed initial conditions; validate by recovering the xi=0 ULA limit and reproducing the primary paper's power spectra.
Dark inflaxion (arXiv:2310.06893 · score 24)No implemented solver evolves the coupled a0 field, decaying a1 inflaton, and radiation densities through reheating for this model; the a0 relic abundance depends on the model-linked initial conditions and the g_a-dependent expansion history, so generic single-ALP misalignment calculators do not apply directly.

QCD axion hilltop dark matter from heavy-axion phase shift (arXiv:1908.06071 · score 23)No public numerical calculator covers hilltop QCD-axion misalignment with the phase-shift initial condition: the abundance for theta_i near pi requires solving the axion field equation with the full anharmonic (log-divergent) enhancement and the temperature-dependent QCD axion mass, which the card handles only via the paper's analytic estimate.

Fuzzy dark fluid unified scalar (arXiv:2007.05376 · score 23)No Boltzmann-code implementation exists for the unified dark fluid's background and linear perturbations with the Mexican-hat potential and non-minimal R^2 gravitational coupling, so CMB/LSS observables can only be compared through quoted summary bounds rather than computed spectra.

Axi-Higgs ultralight axion dark matter (arXiv:2105.01631 · score 23)No public Boltzmann-solver implementation couples the rolling ultralight axion to a time-dependent Higgs VEV shift Delta v(z): existing varying-electron-mass CLASS/CAMB modifications treat the shift as constant through recombination, and ultralight-axion codes (e.g. axionCAMB-style) do not include the Higgs coupling, so the correlated early/late effects central to this model cannot be forward-modeled.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS (or CAMB) by adding the axi-Higgs scalar field to the background and perturbation equations, feeding its Delta v(z) into a modified recombination module (HyRec/RecFast with electron-mass rescaling) so the sound horizon, damping scale, and scale-dependent growth are computed consistently from (m_a, C, a_initial).

PQ-augmented MSSM mixed axion/neutralino cold dark matter (arXiv:1103.5413 · score 22)No public coupled Boltzmann solver exists for the PQMSSM mixed-CDM abundance calculation: simultaneous evolution of axino, saxion, gravitino, and neutralino yields with late decays, neutralino re-annihilation, entropy dilution, and dark-radiation production. The published treatments (the paper's algorithm and the follow-up coupled-equation work) rely on private code layered on Isajet/IsaReD.

Light asymmetric Bose gas dark matter with present-day condensate (arXiv:1709.00436 · score 22)No Boltzmann/linear-perturbation implementation exists for a conserved-charge complex-scalar Bose gas with a present-day condensate: existing ultralight-scalar modules (axionCAMB, CLASS fuzzy-DM extensions) assume a real, charge-symmetric field without chemical potential, so the model's linear matter power suppression cannot be computed.
proposed resolution: Extend a CLASS ultralight-scalar/fluid module with the condensate-plus-thermal two-component equations of state and sound speeds derived from the paper's Bose-Einstein distributions (chemical potential and condensed fraction as extra parameters), outputting transfer functions over the sub-eV mass range.
Curvature-coupled massive vector dark matter (arXiv:1905.09836 · score 22)No inflationary mode solver exists for the non-minimally curvature-coupled massive vector: transverse and longitudinal polarization spectra as functions of (m_X, xi_vector, H_I, N_tot, reheating history) are unavailable, which cuts off every downstream quantity (isocurvature power, small-scale density contrast, induced-GW source).
proposed resolution: Develop a numerical solver for the transverse and longitudinal vector mode equations on a parameterized inflation-plus-reheating background (extending existing dark-photon inflationary-production codes to nonzero xi_vector), validated against the minimally coupled vector misalignment limit and the paper's scalar-like identification for the homogeneous mode.

Multifield ultralight dark matter (arXiv:2301.07114 · score 22)No public Boltzmann/transfer-function code computes linear power spectra for general N-field ULA mixtures with arbitrary masses m_i and fractions f_i; existing ULA solvers handle one (or few) axion species and are benchmarked on the single-field case.

Heavy QCD axion dark matter from sterile-axion avoided level crossing (arXiv:2306.04678 · score 22)No public two-field axion background solver exists for the sterile-QCD axion avoided level crossing: the coupled oscillation equations with the temperature-dependent QCD axion mass must be solved numerically to cover nonadiabatic transitions and to scan (m_sterile, mixing angle, theta_S,0) beyond the paper's adiabatic analytic scaling.
proposed resolution: Implement the coupled two-axion equations of motion with the lattice-QCD chi(T) susceptibility (extending a MiMeS-style single-axion misalignment solver to a two-field mass matrix), validated against the no-transfer limit at zero mixing and the adiabatic near-total-transfer regime.

Curvature-coupled (pseudo-)scalar dark matter (arXiv:1905.09836 · score 21)No public inflationary mode-function solver exists for a spectator scalar with a non-minimal xi R phi^2 coupling: the superhorizon evolution, stochastic distribution, and resulting density-fluctuation spectrum P_delta_phi(k) as functions of (m_phi, xi, phi_e, H_I, N_tot, reheating history) must currently be assembled by hand from the paper's analytic approximations.

SUSY DFSZ axion extended model E_I with vectorlike matter and mixed axion/neutralino dark matter (arXiv:2303.11645 · score 21)No tool on the card treats the coupled saxion/axino/axion/neutralino cosmology: saxion and axino decays can inject entropy, dilute or augment both relic components, and produce dark-radiation axions constrained by Delta N_eff, but the route computes the axion and neutralino abundances independently with a simple two-component sum.

Kalb-Ramond gravitational axion dark matter from heavy sterile fermions (arXiv:2306.02122 · score 21)The vacuum-lifetime condition on f_b/m_N relies on a rough analytic bounce estimate in the source appendix; no numerical implementation of the dimension-six-truncated KR one-loop potential in a bounce solver exists to map the metastability boundary across parameter space.

split-seesaw B-L low-reheating sterile neutrino production (arXiv:1907.11696 · score 36)No reusable X-ray line likelihood grid over (m_s, sin^2 2theta, sterile fraction) is available; only literature limit curves and the 3.5 keV candidate-line discussion are quoted in the card.

Symmetry-restored 2HDM plus 7.1 keV sterile-neutrino freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1907.13555 · score 36)X-ray constraints on the suppressed first-column Yukawas are applied qualitatively; no packaged X-ray line likelihood in (M1, mixing) is linked to the card (con_xray_yukawa_suppression likelihood_available: unknown).
proposed resolution: Recast published sterile-neutrino X-ray line searches (XMM/Chandra/NuSTAR stacked and blank-sky analyses, including the 3.5 keV literature) into a reusable likelihood grid over line energy and flux, then map onto (M1, sum|Y_nu,i1|^2) via the paper's mixing relation.
Generalized three-Higgs-doublet astrophobic QCD axion dark matter (arXiv:2403.05621 · score 36)No quantitative stellar-cooling or SN1987A likelihood exists for the astrophobic coupling patterns; the relaxed bounds on f_a are applied as quoted scaling limits, so partially suppressed variants (photon- or muon-suppressed) cannot be constrained self-consistently.
proposed resolution: Recast published stellar-cooling (RGB/WD/HB) and SN1987A bounds as likelihood functions in the multi-coupling space (C_e, C_p, C_n, C_mu, g_a_gamma) rather than single-coupling limits, so each 3HDM charge assignment can be scored directly.
PBH sterile neutrinogenesis of sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2309.12258 · score 35)No public X-ray line likelihood covers the sterile-neutrino decay signal as a function of (m_s, sin^2 2theta, f_s) with astrophysical background modeling, so the 3.5 keV target region and XRISM-era sensitivity cannot be evaluated statistically for this model.
proposed resolution: Package existing blank-sky, M31, and cluster X-ray line search data into a reusable likelihood over line energy and flux with target J/D-factors, parameterized so the decay rate scales with sin^2 2theta and the abundance with f_s.
Vector dark matter with electron magnetic dipole coupling (arXiv:2303.11344 · score 34)No reusable detector likelihood or recast package exists for MDM vector-DM electronic absorption: Si, Ge, Xe, and Ar exclusion limits are available only as summarized curves, without the exposure and threshold tables needed to turn EXCEED-DM rates into a d_M exclusion curve.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published Si/Ge/Xe/Ar absorption limits and collect per-experiment exposure, efficiency, and threshold tables; package them with the updated EXCEED-DM MDM rate module as a Poisson-count likelihood so d_M(m_V) limits can be recomputed for arbitrary parameter points.
Colder freeze-in axino dark matter (arXiv:1707.02077 · score 34)No X-ray line likelihood is available for the 3.5 keV decay signal; the lifetime/mixing target is compared only against literature values (con_xray_axino_lifetime, likelihood_available: no, robustness low).
proposed resolution: Build a decaying-dark-matter X-ray flux model (line energy, tau_axino, target column densities) interfaced to published XMM-Newton cluster and Andromeda line-search likelihoods so theta_axino_nu and tau_axino can be constrained statistically.
Ultralight scalar dark matter coupled to Majorana neutrinos (arXiv:2111.08732 · score 34)No packaged 0nu-beta-beta likelihood exists for the time-modulated half-life signature: con_0nubb_half_life records likelihood_available: no, and neither the KamLAND-Zen half-life limit nor the sensitivity of experiments to a periodic modulation of the decay rate is encoded with nuclear-matrix-element uncertainties, so the laboratory constraint can only be applied as a hand recast of quoted limits.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood module that maps (m_phi, g_phi_ee, phi_0) to isotope-specific half-life and modulation amplitude using published phase-space factors and a marginalized set of nuclear matrix elements, calibrated to the KamLAND-Zen limit and extendable to time-binned event-rate analyses of future ton-scale experiments.
keV sterile neutrino dark matter in a minimal extended seesaw A4 model (arXiv:2302.09840 · score 34)No X-ray line-flux likelihood exists for the keV sterile-neutrino radiative decay signal in this model; the card records only summary mixing-angle bounds from XMM-Newton/Chandra/Suzaku/Swift/NuSTAR with no halo-profile marginalization or line-flux recast implemented.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published X-ray mixing-angle exclusion curves (or wrap public stacked-observation likelihoods such as the NuSTAR/XMM blank-sky analyses) into a line-flux likelihood in (m_s, sin^2(2theta)) with marginalization over the Milky Way and cluster density-profile uncertainty.

Type III seesaw freeze-in long-lived S dark matter (arXiv:2304.00184 · score 33)No electroweak precision likelihood is attached to the triplet anchor sector: the claimed W-mass shift toward the CDF measurement has not been confronted with a global fit, so the parameter space consistent with precision data (and with the standard m_W average versus CDF) is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Compute the oblique parameters and tree-level rho/W-mass shift from the triplet vev v2 and heavy lepton triplets, then evaluate against a public global electroweak fit (HEPfit or Gfitter inputs) to map allowed (M_Sigma, v2) regions under both the CDF and PDG-average W-mass choices.
Earth-shielded plasma dark matter (arXiv:1806.04293 · score 32)No reusable likelihood exists for the target datasets: the DAMA electron-recoil annual-modulation comparison and the CRESST-III low-threshold recast lack public binned likelihoods with detector response, atomic electron binding effects, and backgrounds for a kinetically mixed dark-plasma flux.
proposed resolution: Reconstruct a binned DAMA/LIBRA modulation likelihood from published data tables with the NaI electron-recoil response and atomic binding (RRPA-style) form factors for dark-electron scattering, and add a CRESST-III low-threshold module, exposing both as functions of (epsilon, v_c, n_e_prime).

proposed resolution: Build a kink-search likelihood using the published KATRIN/TRISTAN keV-sterile sensitivity model (response matrix, resolution, endpoint systematics) applied to the two-branch spectrum with masses M_1, M_2.
Extra-dimensional sterile neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1407.2739 · score 32)No X-ray line likelihood is attached to the card (likelihood_available is unknown and the constraint text notes no full X-ray likelihood or exact exclusion curve), so the decay-line constraint on (M_s, theta_s) cannot be evaluated quantitatively or rescaled for a sub-dominant DM fraction.
proposed resolution: Digitize published galaxy/cluster X-ray decay-line limits (e.g. stacked cluster and M31/blank-sky analyses) into a reusable likelihood on the sin^2(2theta)-M_s plane with an explicit DM-fraction rescaling, and register it against con_xray_wdm_mixing.
DFSZ freeze-in axino dark matter with bilinear R-parity violation (arXiv:1707.06418 · score 32)Target-specific X-ray line likelihoods (Perseus, Andromeda, cluster stacks) are not bundled, so lifetime/mixing bounds for the 3.5 keV line are only partially applied (xray_line_decay_bounds, likelihood_available: partial, recasting needed).
proposed resolution: Interface the analytic decay-flux step to published XMM-Newton/Chandra line-search likelihoods per target, constraining tau_axino and the bRPV mixing jointly with neutrino-mass consistency.
fractional cold-plus-warm sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1907.11696 · score 32)No reusable X-ray line likelihood grid over (m_s, sin^2 2theta, sterile fraction) is available; only literature limit curves and the 3.5 keV candidate-line discussion are quoted, and fractional abundance rescaling must be applied consistently.

Lepton-portal freeze-in scalar with hierarchical lepton couplings (arXiv:2304.02904 · score 32)No X-ray likelihood is in place for the two-photon decay line at E_gamma = m_phi/2: existing keV line searches (calibrated for sterile-neutrino single-photon decay) have not been rescaled to this model's (m_phi, f_phi, tau_phi) parameterization.
proposed resolution: Rescale published blank-sky and cluster X-ray line limits to a two-photon final state (photon multiplicity and E_gamma = m_phi/2 kinematics) weighted by the decaying fraction f_phi exp(-t/tau_phi), and package the result as a lifetime likelihood over 1-10 keV masses.
Dark matter pearls with low-tension vacuum domain walls around voids (arXiv:2305.18645 · score 32)None of the three linked constraints has a likelihood (likelihood_available is 'no' for the wall-tension viability, constant-variation tension, and 3.5 keV pearl-line fit), so the model cannot be scored quantitatively against spectroscopic constant-variation data or X-ray line data.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood mapping predicted phase-dependent Delta alpha/alpha and Delta mu/mu onto published quasar-absorber and molecular-line measurement compilations, and refit the 3.5 keV line with current XMM/Chandra/XRISM cluster datasets under the pearl-collision emission model.
Minimal left-right symmetric keV right-handed neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1310.0265 · score 31)The X-ray decay constraint on (M1, theta) is only graphical in the primary paper with no digitized exclusion or packaged likelihood (likelihood_available: no), so the mixing-decay observable cannot be evaluated quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Recast published sterile-neutrino X-ray line limits (XMM-Newton, Chandra, NuSTAR blank-sky compilations) into a digital likelihood on the (M1, sin^2 2theta) plane, including the relic-fraction rescaling the card's n1_all_dm assumption allows.

keV hidden photon dark matter for XENON1T and stellar cooling (arXiv:2006.11243 · score 31)No stellar-cooling likelihood exists for the HB R-parameter band: the card marks likelihood_available 'no' with recasting_needed 'yes', and the resonant hidden-photon emissivity has not been propagated through calibrated HB stellar models to a statistical R-parameter constraint.
proposed resolution: Add the resonant kinetic-mixing hidden-photon emissivity as an exotic energy-loss term in MESA horizontal-branch models and build an R-parameter likelihood from globular-cluster HB/RGB star counts, marginalizing over stellar-model systematics.
Fermionic scalar-portal absorption dark matter (arXiv:2308.00309 · score 31)The astrophysical and cosmological constraints on the light Higgs-mixed scalar and the dark matter decay (SN1987A, HB-star cooling, invisible meson decays, diffuse X-ray limits) are only available as digitized literature curves; no combined machine-readable likelihood over (m_phi, theta, m_chi) exists for joint scans with the relic constraint.
proposed resolution: Digitize the SN1987A, HB-star, meson-decay, and diffuse X-ray exclusion curves used by the paper into interpolated one-sided likelihoods (following the standard light-scalar compilation format) so the relic-versus-signal tension can be scanned as a joint fit.
Constrained nuMSM resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1204.3902 · score 30)X-ray line constraints (NuSTAR Galactic Center, M31, cluster and diffuse fields) exist only as published exclusion curves, not as reusable target-specific likelihoods with halo-profile and background systematics, preventing consistent statistical combination over the 1-50 keV window.
proposed resolution: Package the NuSTAR GC/M31 line-search likelihoods (flux versus line energy with J-factor and background nuisance parameters) as a reusable module keyed to (M1, sin^2(2 theta_1)) with an explicit dark-matter-fraction rescaling.

Two-body decaying cold dark matter to warm dark matter and dark radiation (arXiv:2008.09615 · score 30)The weak-lensing constraint was approximated by a split-normal S8 summary because the full KiDS-1000+BOSS+2dfLenS likelihood was unavailable, so the S8-tension preference (Delta chi^2 about 5.4) rests on a compressed statistic rather than the survey data vector.
proposed resolution: Rerun the MCMC with the now-public KiDS-1000 (or DES Y3) cosmic-shear likelihood coupled to the DDM P(k), including a nonlinear prescription valid for the model's time-dependent suppression instead of the S8 prior.
Sterile-neutrino-portal ultralight scalar dark matter with time-varying neutrino masses (arXiv:2205.08431 · score 30)No KATRIN spectral likelihood exists for time-varying active/sterile neutrino masses; the phase-averaged endpoint and sterile-kink distortion predicted by the model has never been fit to the KNM1/KNM2 spectral data (card: likelihood_available partial, recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Implement the scalar-phase-averaged beta spectrum as a signal model in the public KATRIN sterile-neutrino analysis framework using the released KNM1/KNM2 spectral data and response model, recovering the static sterile limit as g phi goes to 0.
Sterile-neutrino-portal ultralight scalar dark matter with time-varying neutrino masses (arXiv:2205.08431 · score 30)Short-baseline (BEST, gallium, reactor) sterile-neutrino likelihoods are published only for static Delta m_41^2 and theta_14; no time-binned or oscillation-averaged recast exists for a sterile mass modulated at frequency m_phi, so static best-fit regions cannot be transferred to this model.
proposed resolution: Build a recast of the BEST and reactor rate likelihoods that averages the disappearance probability over the scalar phase (and adds time binning where exposure records permit), using the experiments' published rate data and response geometries.
Ultralight scalar dark matter with refractive neutrino masses (arXiv:2306.15718 · score 30)No oscillation-data likelihood exists for the energy-dependent refractive-mass Hamiltonian: existing dark-background oscillation bounds are single-effective-coupling recasts that do not cover this model's mediator and resonance structure (con_dark_background_oscillation is recast_required with likelihood_available: no).
proposed resolution: Implement the refractive potential Delta m_ref^2(E, rho_phi) in a global oscillation-fit framework (GLoBES or nuSQuIDS driving solar, atmospheric, and long-baseline datasets) and publish a likelihood over (m_phi, m_chi, g_alpha_k) including flavor-coupling degeneracies.
One-to-one resonantly produced mixed sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2306.16532 · score 30)No X-ray line likelihood exists that implements the fraction-weighted mapping f * sin^2(2 theta) for mixed models, so existing all-sterile 3.55 keV line detections and non-detection limits cannot be applied to the mixed parameter grid.
proposed resolution: Recast published X-ray stacking and blank-sky decay limits (XMM, Chandra, NuSTAR, eROSITA) into a likelihood over (m_s, sin^2(2 theta), f) with the sterile fraction rescaling the line-of-sight decay flux, and release it alongside the model grid.
Quadratically coupled scalar ultralight dark matter EFT (arXiv:2404.17636 · score 30)No public likelihood or recast pipeline converts atomic-clock and cavity frequency-comparison data into bounds on the quadratic Wilson coefficients c_i: existing clock dark-matter analyses target linear couplings, while the phi^2 signal oscillates at 2 m_phi, scales differently with rho_DM, and has distinct stochastic-amplitude statistics.
proposed resolution: Build a ULDM time-series signal generator plus likelihood module for quadratic couplings (frequency 2 m_phi, stochastic field-amplitude distribution, finite coherence time) and apply it to released clock-comparison datasets, or extend an existing clock-analysis framework with the c_i = 16 pi^2/Lambda^4 parameterization and per-experiment sensitivity coefficients.
Resonantly produced sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0101524 · score 30)No combined X-ray line-search likelihood exists for the radiative-decay line at E_gamma = m_s/2; the card cites only representative M31 Chandra bounds with recasting_needed: partial and likelihood_available: no, so the mixing-angle exclusion cannot be evaluated as a statistical likelihood.
proposed resolution: Package published X-ray line-search results (Chandra/XMM M31, Milky Way, stacked clusters) into a public combined likelihood over (m_s, sin^2(2theta)) with explicit dark-matter column-density priors, coupled to a standard radiative-decay-flux calculator.
Framed Standard Model hidden-sector dark matter candidates (arXiv:1806.08268 · score 29)The electroweak-precision floor on zeta_S is a model-internal comparison to the Z mass error, not a statistical constraint; no likelihood connects FSM Z-G mixing to the full set of electroweak precision observables.
proposed resolution: Recast the Z-G mixing shift into oblique/precision parameters and evaluate it with an existing global electroweak fit package (e.g. HEPfit or GFitter inputs) to obtain a proper likelihood on zeta_S.
Inverse-seesaw sterile-neutrino freeze-in dark matter with dynamical lepton-number breaking (arXiv:2106.05298 · score 29)The X-ray line constraint is carried only as summarized INTEGRAL/NuSTAR/XMM-Newton limits with likelihood_available unknown; no evaluable line-search likelihood in the (m_nu4, U_alpha4) plane, including target-dependent decay-flux modeling, is attached to the card.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published NuSTAR/INTEGRAL/XMM sterile-neutrino line flux limits into a reusable (mass, sin^2 2theta) likelihood with a standard line-flux calculator for Milky Way and cluster targets, and correct it for the Majoron-dominated lifetime of this model.
CDF-II-favored inert two-Higgs-doublet scalar WIMP dark matter (arXiv:2204.03693 · score 29)The electroweak-precision constraint is only partially implemented (likelihood_available 'partial'): the preferred 54-74 GeV region is tied to the CDF-II W-mass input alone, and no oblique-parameter likelihood incorporating the current world-average W mass and post-2022 combinations exists to reassess the favored splitting region.
proposed resolution: Build an S,T,U (oblique-parameter) Gaussian likelihood on top of the 2HDMC output using the current PDG/global electroweak fit with the W-mass measurement treated as a switchable input (CDF-II versus world average), so the favored Delta0/Delta+ region can be re-derived under either choice.
Blue axion dark-portal decay variant (arXiv:2301.06560 · score 28)No public likelihood exists for any of the constraining datasets: all four card constraints have likelihood_available: no (HST COB anisotropy, LORRI diffuse intensity, red-giant cooling, and the projected 438/336 nm and LIM reaches are quoted only as published curves and forecast scalings).
proposed resolution: Package the HST 606 nm anisotropy measurement, the LORRI intensity (16.37 +/- 1.47 nW m^-2 sr^-1), and the red-giant coupling bound as simple Gaussian/one-sided likelihoods over (m_a, tau_a, g_a_gamma_gamma_dark, hot fraction), and implement the source's future-band and LIM scaling as a forecast module.
nuMSM lepton-asymmetry resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0804.4543 · score 28)No X-ray line-search likelihood over (M_1, sin^2 2theta) is packaged with the card (likelihood_available: no); only qualitative non-observation statements are available, so the decay-line observable can only be compared by eye to published exclusion curves.
proposed resolution: Digitize and combine existing Chandra/XMM/NuSTAR line-search exclusion curves into a reusable likelihood over sterile-neutrino mass and mixing, weighted by the resonant-production abundance from step s1.
Neutron dark decay two-dark-particle dark matter (arXiv:1801.01124 · score 28)No likelihood exists for the neutron-decay observable: the bottle-versus-beam lifetime discrepancy and the ~1% exotic branching fraction are used only as a target window, with likelihood_available marked 'no' for all three constraints on the card.
proposed resolution: Construct a likelihood in Br_dark from the published bottle (UCNtau-type) and beam neutron-lifetime measurements with correlated systematics, so that the mass-sum window and branching fraction can be jointly constrained instead of imposed as hard cuts.
Composite pNGB dark matter from vacuum-misalignment asymmetry (arXiv:1911.12130 · score 28)The exotic Z-decay prediction (BR about 8e-9) cannot be recast quantitatively: the final-state identification is corrupted in the extracted text and no LEP or future Z-pole likelihood for this channel is recorded on the card.
proposed resolution: Confirm the exotic Z final state and pseudoscalar lifetime from the source PDF, then build a rare-Z recast comparing the predicted branching ratio to the LEP detector-stable bound and Tera-Z projections as a simple likelihood over (BR_Z_exotic, lifetime).
Dark-matter-coupled scalar-field fifth-force model (arXiv:0906.3880 · score 27)No weak-lensing likelihood or numerical exclusion exists for the predicted small-scale clustering enhancement: the card's key constraint on beta = O(1) couplings is qualitative pressure only, with likelihood_available unknown and no data release attached.
proposed resolution: Once nonlinear P(k, beta, lambda) predictions exist (gap_2), project them to cosmic-shear observables with baryon marginalization and build a likelihood against current stage-III/IV lensing data (DES/KiDS/Euclid-style pipelines) to convert the qualitative beta = O(1) pressure into numerical exclusion contours.
7.1 keV sterile-neutrino dark matter with low-scale leptogenesis (arXiv:1412.4899 · score 27)The X-ray line constraint is recorded with likelihood_available: no; there is no machine-readable likelihood tying the model's (m_s, sin^2(2 theta)) to current X-ray line search limits, and the card notes updated line status was not adjudicated.
proposed resolution: Digitize published sterile-neutrino X-ray line limits in the sin^2(2 theta) vs m_s plane (XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and blank-sky stacked analyses) into a simple likelihood module and evaluate the 7.1 keV benchmark against them.
Nonthermal two-component singlet-scalar dark matter (arXiv:1501.02666 · score 27)No likelihood exists for the 3.55 keV line requirement (likelihood_available: no); the mass-lifetime target is a point estimate from stacked-cluster measurements rather than an evaluable constraint on M_phi3 and the two-photon decay rate.
proposed resolution: Construct a line-flux likelihood from published XMM-Newton/Chandra stacked-cluster and M31 line measurements and upper limits, parameterized in (M_phi3, decay rate, phi_3 abundance fraction).

Dark massive compact halo object phenomenology (arXiv:2003.13182 · score 27)The molecular-cloud optical/X-ray glow channel has no encoded survey selection function or encounter event-rate model, so non-detection cannot be converted into a statistical constraint on the dMACHO population.
proposed resolution: Build an encounter-rate model combining the local dMACHO halo velocity distribution with a catalog of nearby dense molecular clouds, fold in Chandra/XMM and optical survey sensitivities, and derive expected glowing-source counts versus (M, R) for a likelihood on non-detection.
Cannibal scalar dark matter with 3-to-2 self-interactions (arXiv:2008.08486 · score 27)The S8 comparison uses only an approximate weak-lensing S8 baseline rather than a full cosmic-shear likelihood, so the claimed S8-tension relief and the 2-3 unit chi-square tradeoff are not evaluated against actual survey data vectors.
proposed resolution: Rerun the MontePython analysis replacing the S8 proxy with a full public cosmic-shear likelihood (KiDS or DES Y3) using the CanDM P(k), including a nonlinear prescription checked against the model's scale-dependent suppression.
Resonant U(1)' Z-prime portal Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:2107.04037 · score 27)Only an approximate COHERENT CsI chi-square is available for the CEvNS route; no likelihood incorporates the full detector response, quenching-factor systematics, and LAr/reactor datasets needed for a precision constraint on the light Z-prime couplings.
proposed resolution: Build a binned CEvNS likelihood from the public COHERENT CsI and LAr data releases (timing plus recoil-energy spectra with quenching and efficiency systematics), for example by adapting an existing public CEvNS fitting framework to the model's momentum-dependent epsilon coefficients, and validate against the paper's COHERENT-only exclusion.
Charged-meson vector-portal inelastic dark matter benchmark (arXiv:2110.11944 · score 27)No public MiniBooNE low-energy-excess likelihood exists for this signal: the chi-square fit to residual electronlike spectra depends on energy-dependent efficiencies, the 140 MeV E_vis threshold, and the <10-degree e+e- merging model, all of which are private analysis inputs, so the excess fit cannot be independently evaluated.
proposed resolution: Package the MiniBooNE residual-event E_vis and angular histograms, efficiency tables, and pair-merging prescription into a public likelihood module (e.g. a GAMBIT/pyhf-style implementation) validated by reproducing the paper's benchmark chi-square fits.
Dark matter pearl vacuum-bubble model (arXiv:2203.02779 · score 27)No emission model or likelihood exists for the pearl 3.5 keV X-ray prediction: the collisional (density-squared) and cosmic-ray-induced line emissivity is underived, and existing 3.5 keV line analyses assume decaying-DM (density-linear) morphology, so they cannot be applied without recasting.
proposed resolution: Derive the pearl-pearl collision emissivity as a function of halo density and velocity dispersion, then recast the XMM-Newton/Chandra stacked-cluster, Galactic-center, and Tycho 3.5 keV line data with the rho^2 morphology template as a reusable flux likelihood.
U(1) L_mu-L_tau Majorana fermion dark matter (arXiv:1912.10487 · score 26)The flavour/neutrino-mass recast route lacks packaged inputs and any likelihood: rare-B observables, B_s mixing, and one-loop neutrino-mass consistency for the shared Z-prime and leptoquark parameters cannot currently be evaluated within the registry.
proposed resolution: Implement the model's Wilson-coefficient contributions in flavio/smelli to obtain a rare-B and B_s-mixing likelihood, and add the paper's one-loop neutrino-mass formula as an analytic consistency constraint on Y_l.
Gravitational-anomaly neutrino-condensate cold dark matter subcomponent (arXiv:1602.03191 · score 26)No reproducible KATRIN likelihood for a clustered relic-neutrino overdensity: the card marks con_katrin_recast_required with likelihood_available no, and the capture-rate/beta-endpoint signal from a locally bound neutrino condensate has never been recast.

B-L charged scalar dark matter triggering nucleon decay (arXiv:1802.00009 · score 26)No recast likelihood applies Super-Kamiokande (or DUNE/dark-matter detector) nucleon-decay search data to the DM-induced event topology; published efficiencies assume standard proton-decay kinematics, not a halo-DM-catalyzed neutron removal with invisible neutrino.
proposed resolution: Build a recast of Super-K invisible-neutron-decay and de-excitation-gamma searches (and SNO+ style analyses) with published efficiency tables, taking the gap_2 event spectra as input and producing limits in the (m_chi, Lambda, operator coefficient) plane.
ScotoZee model with scalar inert dark matter (arXiv:2205.02217 · score 26)The electroweak oblique fit and the LFV/g-2 constraints are only encoded as approximate ranges; no combined likelihood over S,T,U and the rare-decay upper limits is available for scanning the Yukawa textures.

proposed resolution: Implement the scotogenic model in SPheno/FlavorKit (or use published scotogenic LFV loop formulae) and wrap MEG-II/Mu3e bounds as a likelihood over (Yukawas, M1, inert scalar masses) consistent with the Casas-Ibarra parameterization.
Finite modular majoron (arXiv:2405.03996 · score 26)No experiment-specific likelihood exists for the narrow neutrino flux from decaying majoron dark matter, so the majoron_decay_neutrino_flux observable cannot be evaluated against neutrino-telescope data.
proposed resolution: Digitize published bounds on dark-matter decay to monochromatic neutrinos (Borexino, KamLAND, Super-Kamiokande compilations) as a lifetime-versus-m_J limit curve and wrap it as a likelihood taking (m_J, tau_J, Omega_J) from the route.

proposed resolution: Recast published diffuse X-ray background and blank-sky line searches (Chandra/XMM/NuSTAR and sounding-rocket data at sub-keV energies) into a reusable decaying-DM line-flux likelihood and evaluate the Majoron loop-decay parameter space against it.
Self-interacting boosted two-component dark matter (arXiv:1411.6632 · score 25)No public likelihood exists for the Super-Kamiokande/Hyper-Kamiokande boosted-dark-matter electron-scattering search; the SK-IV angular-cone limit tables have not been digitized and the electron-scattering limit must be recast to the model-specific chi_B-electron cross section through the kinetically mixed X.
proposed resolution: Digitize the SK-IV boosted-DM search (2628.1 days, 161.9 kt-yr) angular-cone event limits and backgrounds, wrap them in a Poisson likelihood parameterized by incoming chi_B energy and scattering angle, and add the model's dark-photon-mediated chi_B-electron differential cross section as the signal model, with a Hyper-K projection mode.
Charged Planck-scale relic dark matter (arXiv:1906.06348 · score 25)No search likelihood or recast maps the CPR flux and track efficiency onto existing large-area, monopole (e.g. MACRO-type), or paleo-detector exposures; the route's detector likelihood is listed as unavailable, so no quantitative bound on f_CPR can be set.
proposed resolution: Compile exposure tables from published slow-monopole and heavy-track searches, fold them with the simulated CPR track efficiency from the detector-response gap, and release a Poisson counting likelihood on f_CPR(M_relic, q_CPR) that reproduces the paper's 4.3 m^2-per-event-per-year benchmark.
S3 x Z2 sterile-neutrino dark matter model (arXiv:1912.02294 · score 25)The CLIC charged-scalar benchmark cross sections cannot be turned into exclusions or projected sensitivities because no detector-level analysis, efficiency map, or reusable likelihood exists for e+e- -> H+H- in this model (card: likelihood_available no, recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Implement the S3 x Z2 scalar sector in FeynRules/UFO, simulate e+e- -> H+H- with the charged-scalar decay chains in MadGraph plus a fast CLIC detector card (Delphes), and publish signal efficiencies and a cut-and-count likelihood over the (m_H+, X) benchmark plane.
Dark matter vortex filament model (arXiv:2111.03061 · score 25)No public likelihood exists for the cosmic-filament spin measurement used to fit (N_V/m, R): the observational spin proxy, filament selection function, and data covariance are not packaged, so the paper's MCMC constraint cannot be reproduced or reused by others.
proposed resolution: Build a public likelihood from the filament-spin catalog of the source measurement (the 2106.05989 stacked line-of-sight velocity-difference analysis), including the filament selection function and an estimated covariance, exposing the vortex velocity template parameters (N_V/m, R) and nuisance parameters for orientation and stacking systematics.
Electron-specific spin-2 mediator with hidden scalar dark matter (arXiv:2304.14052 · score 25)No public NA64/LDMX missing-energy likelihood or digitized acceptance model exists for invisibly decaying electron-specific spin-2 mediators; existing reach curves in the paper are not machine-readable.

Three-flavor chiral composite ADM with B-L portal (arXiv:2105.07642 · score 24)No recast or likelihood exists for the Super-K atmospheric antineutrino bound on the dark baryon decay to a dark meson plus antineutrino: the M_* > 10^8.2 GeV limit is a quoted primary-paper interpretation, and no neutrino-flux calculation for this two-body decay spectrum at m_DM = 5-6 GeV has been run.
proposed resolution: Compute the monochromatic-plus-continuum antineutrino spectrum from the two-body dark-baryon decay and recast it through existing decaying-dark-matter Super-K flux analyses, delivering a likelihood in (m_DM, M_*, branching fractions).
Cool atomic dark matter subcomponent (arXiv:2311.05678 · score 24)No survey-specific weak-lensing likelihood can consume cool-ADM predictions: the sigma8-tension claim rests on linear theory, and the route lists survey weak-lensing likelihoods as unresolved because they require the missing nonlinear matter-power model.
proposed resolution: Once a nonlinear P(k) prescription exists (gap_2), interface it with public weak-lensing likelihoods (e.g. DES/KiDS 3x2pt in Cobaya/CosmoSIS) so the low-sigma8 interpretation can be tested directly against lensing data.
Scalar-mediated self-interacting sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2307.15565 · score 24)No machine-readable X-ray line-search likelihood is linked; the exclusion of (m_s, theta) currently requires manually digitizing published limit curves and rescaling by the model abundance fraction.

Tiny-split mirror baryon dark matter with neutron--mirror-neutron oscillation (arXiv:1807.07906 · score 24)No public likelihood or recast framework exists for UCN storage and beam n-nprime searches that handles a nonzero mass splitting Delta m ~ 1e-7 eV: the published tau_osc limits assume near-degenerate states and specific ordinary/mirror magnetic-field settings, so they cannot be applied directly to the resonant split scenario that explains the beam-trap neutron-lifetime discrepancy.
proposed resolution: Build a recast tool that evaluates the field-dependent oscillation probability from step s1 over each experiment's published magnetic-field settings, storage times, and event counts (UCN storage runs and beam proton-counting data), producing exclusion contours in the (Delta m, epsilon, mirror-field) space and reproducing the degenerate-limit tau_osc > 414 s and 448 s bounds as a validation test.
Emergent strong-CP vector dark matter (arXiv:1905.08820 · score 24)No environmental-EDM likelihood exists that folds local dark-matter density and spin-polarization uncertainties into the theta_eff cancellation prediction; the current comparison is a single-number bound check.
proposed resolution: Build a simple likelihood combining the neutron-EDM measurement with a prior on local DM density and coherent spin polarization, so the theta_eff constraint on (M_*, n, m) becomes a quantitative posterior rather than a pass-fail check.
QCD axion dark matter with subdominant dressed primordial black holes (arXiv:2102.05680 · score 24)No radio transient-survey likelihood, survey sensitivity curves, or neutron-star population model are packaged to turn predicted encounter fluxes and rates into constraints on (m_a, g_a_gamma, f_PBH).

proposed resolution: Digitize the HEAO-1, INTEGRAL, and COMPTEL diffuse-emission spectra into energy-binned data products and wrap them in a simple chi-square/upper-limit likelihood module taking a predicted diffuse flux as input, validated by recovering the paper's f_* ~ 1e-9 strongest limits.
keV sterile-neutrino dark matter with light-scalar neutrino self-interaction after quintessential inflation (arXiv:2210.05214 · score 24)X-ray line-search constraints (NuSTAR Galactic-center and related datasets) exist only as published upper-limit curves assuming standard production and DM fraction; no packaged likelihood lets the registry rescale them consistently for this model's relic fraction and halo modeling.
proposed resolution: Digitize the NuSTAR and complementary X-ray line-search flux limits into a registry likelihood module parameterized by (M1, sin^2(2 theta_1), f_N1, D-factor) so mixing-angle exclusions can be recomputed for arbitrary relic fractions.
Decaying axion-like dark matter direct-collapse model (arXiv:2404.03909 · score 24)No statistical framework connects per-halo direct-collapse success to the observed high-redshift SMBH population: halo abundance, collapse duty cycle, and seed-growth modeling needed to turn the mechanism into a testable seed-abundance prediction are absent.
proposed resolution: Build a semi-analytic population model (halo mass function plus collapse criterion from the extended chemistry code) predicting DCBH seed number densities versus z, and compare against quasar luminosity-function data in a simple Poisson likelihood.

proposed resolution: Build a likelihood that runs the B=2 operator coefficients from the TeV matching scale to 2 GeV, contracts them with published lattice-QCD n-nbar matrix elements, applies the nuclear suppression factors for bound dinucleons, and compares to Super-K dinucleon and free-neutron oscillation limits, exposing tau_nnbar as a derived quantity.
Left-right symmetric model with keV right-handed-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1809.10577 · score 23)No X-ray line likelihood is implemented for the N1 -> nu gamma signal; the card uses only an approximate lifetime/mixing stability criterion without cluster or Milky Way halo-profile uncertainties propagated.

Inelastic dark-photon Dirac fermion thermal relic for the XENON1T excess (arXiv:2006.14089 · score 23)The CRESST low-threshold nuclear-recoil bound has not been reanalyzed for exothermic inelastic kinematics; the card notes the elastic bound may shift for this model, leaving the leading nuclear-scattering constraint uncertain.
proposed resolution: Recast the published CRESST low-threshold oxygen-recoil data with the exothermic nuclear scattering rate (splitting delta released into the recoil) using the public CRESST data release, producing an exclusion curve in (M_chi, epsilon, delta).
High-scale FOPT scotogenic FIMP right-handed-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2304.08888 · score 23)GW exclusion is imposed only through a conservative one-year LVK O3 SNR > 1 threshold with approximate sensitivity curves; no proper LVK stochastic-background likelihood is attached, so the boundary of the excluded high-scale FOPT region in (alpha_*, beta/H_*, T_n) is not statistically defensible.
proposed resolution: Replace the SNR threshold with a likelihood built on the public LVK O3 isotropic stochastic-search cross-correlation data (e.g. via the pygwb analysis framework), evaluating the model's Omega_GW h^2 template per parameter point and extending the same machinery to projected ET/DECIGO sensitivities for forecasts.

Z2-breaking complex singlet pseudo-Goldstone scalar dark matter (arXiv:1911.05579 · score 22)Only approximate projection-level constraints exist for the Higgs-factory leg: the card records no packaged likelihood mapping the model's one-loop Higgs-coupling and S/T/U shifts onto CEPC/FCC-ee/ILC global-fit precision, so the complementarity claim cannot be quantified.

Dark population transfer sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2402.13878 · score 22)X-ray decay-line limits are invoked without any digitized exclusion contour or flux likelihood, so the claimed weakening of the constraint for weakly mixed N2 cannot be quantitatively re-evaluated.

U(1)_R lepton-number model with keV sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1411.1525 · score 22)No X-ray line likelihood exists for the 3.5 keV target: the card records likelihood_available = no, and comparing the (M_N^R, sin^2(2 theta_14)) plane against XMM-Newton M31/Perseus/stacked-cluster fluxes requires a recast with halo mass-profile and instrumental-response modeling.
proposed resolution: Build a decay-flux calculator (standard radiative decay rate times line-of-sight DM column densities for M31, Perseus, and stacked clusters) and wrap published XMM-Newton flux measurements and upper limits into a Gaussian/profile likelihood over mass and mixing.
Resonantly produced 7.1 keV sterile neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1506.06752 · score 22)No X-ray line likelihood is attached (likelihood_available: no); the 3.55 keV line and non-detection bounds are used only as a mass-mixing target rather than as a flux likelihood with profile uncertainties.

Jovian captured GeV dark matter toy model (arXiv:2401.13043 · score 22)No public time-series likelihood exists for the low-energy Borexino event rate, so the claimed 96 percent CL Jupiter-correlated modulation cannot be refit or tested against the captured-DM flux prediction with detector response and solar/detector systematics included.

Scalar-decay sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0807.0646 · score 22)No X-ray line likelihood over (m_s, theta) accompanies the card, and the scalar-decay mechanism leaves the active-sterile mixing angle unspecified, so the radiative-decay observable can only be checked by eye against published Chandra/Andromeda-type exclusion curves.

Bulk-shortcut sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0504096 · score 21)No short-baseline oscillation likelihood implements the energy-dependent shortcut mixing: LSND/MiniBooNE fits in the card are representative only, so the allowed (E_res, theta) region and the small-mixing WDM tension cannot be quantified.
proposed resolution: Implement the shortcut-modified oscillation probability in an existing short-baseline fitting framework (e.g., a GLoBES-based or public MiniBooNE/LSND data-release fit) and rerun the 3+1 analysis with E_res as an extra parameter.
Bosonic superheavy X-particle from vacuum fluctuations (arXiv:hep-ph/9809547 · score 21)The UHECR constraint on the card is a historical SUGAR anisotropy recast with likelihood_available 'no'; no modern end-to-end likelihood combines superheavy-X decay fragmentation spectra, a Galactic-halo decay template, and current Auger/TA exposure and composition data to constrain (m_X, tau_X, Omega_X).

Inflation-produced superheavy X-particle dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/9903542 · score 21)No end-to-end UHECR pipeline or likelihood exists for rare X decays: decay spectra, propagation, and modern Auger flux/composition/photon limits have not been combined into a constraint on (m_X, tau_X, Omega_X) for this model.

proposed resolution: Re-derive the meson-mixing, LFV, and oblique-parameter expressions for the three-doublet U(1)_X Higgs sector from the primary paper and implement them as a flavio/HEPfit-style constraint module evaluated jointly with the DM benchmark scan.
Gauged U(1) vector-like quark model with inert scalar dark matter (arXiv:1702.02699 · score 20)No reusable flavor likelihood is available for the loop-induced C9 and B_s mixing constraints (likelihood_available: no); the paper applied them only as scan cuts, so viability cannot be re-evaluated with a global fit.
proposed resolution: Express the model's one-loop Wilson coefficients (C9, B_s mixing amplitude) as functions of f, M_a, m_Zprime and wrap them in flavio/smelli to obtain a global b -> s l l plus B_s mixing likelihood.
Extra U(1)_X right-handed Majorana fermion dark matter (arXiv:1906.10185 · score 20)The active-sterile neutrino mixing requirement that underpins the co-annihilation link (con_neutrino_mixing_coannihilation) has no attached likelihood, so the connection between oscillation data and the (mixing angle, chi_2-chi_1 mass gap) parameters is only qualitative.
proposed resolution: Attach the public NuFIT chi-squared tables (and sterile-mixing bounds where relevant) as a likelihood on the loop-generated neutrino mass and mixing parameters of the model, propagated to the S_1R-S_2R mixing angle used in the co-annihilation rate.
Dark-confining axiverse heavy axion dark matter (arXiv:2208.10504 · score 20)No assembled, reusable likelihood exists for the model's monochromatic keV-MeV decay line (a -> gamma gamma, and e+e- above threshold): existing XMM-Newton/Chandra/NuSTAR/INTEGRAL/COMPTEL limits and Athena/AMEGO/e-ASTROGAM projections exist only as published curves that must be recast by hand for each (m_a, tau_a).
proposed resolution: Digitize the published decaying-dark-matter lifetime limits across keV-MeV into a tabulated tau_min(m_a) likelihood module (separately for the photon and e+e- channels), so the line-flux prediction from (m_a, f_a, C_agamma, C_aee) can be scored automatically against current limits and future-telescope sensitivity curves.

R-parity neutralino dark matter in a split-SUSY SO(10) GUT (arXiv:2308.05799 · score 20)No likelihood connects the analytic proton-decay lifetimes to current Super-K limits and projected Hyper-K/JUNO sensitivities; the comparison is stated only as qualitative testability of benchmark regions (con_so10_proton_decay_tests, likelihood_available: no).
proposed resolution: Encode the published Super-K exclusion and Hyper-K/JUNO projected sensitivities for the relevant channels (p -> K+ nu, p -> e+ pi0) as simple lifetime likelihoods and evaluate the benchmark partial lifetimes, including an uncertainty budget for hadronic matrix elements and threshold corrections.
BEC/SFDM self-interacting ultralight scalar dark matter for cluster collisions (arXiv:0805.3827 · score 19)No quantitative merger-morphology likelihood exists for confronting simulated BEC/SFDM collision outcomes with the Bullet Cluster and Abell 520 data; the card records the cluster comparison as qualitative with likelihood_available: no and low robustness.

Sub-eV scalar dark matter through the super-renormalizable Higgs portal (arXiv:1003.2313 · score 19)No diffuse-photon-background likelihood is connected to the loop-induced phi -> gamma gamma decay line; the paper notes gamma-background constraints qualitatively but extracts no contour in (m_phi, x).
proposed resolution: Map the analytic lifetime onto published decaying-dark-matter monochromatic-photon limits (cosmic optical/X-ray background and line searches) as a tabulated lifetime-versus-mass bound; low priority since the decay is negligible in the sub-eV regime the model targets.
Froggatt-Nielsen keV sterile-neutrino dark matter, Scenario A (arXiv:1105.5136 · score 19)No X-ray decay-line likelihood is wired to the model: the radiative decay rate follows analytically from M_1 and sin^2(2theta), but there is no packaged likelihood mapping (M_1, mixing) to existing X-ray line search limits for this card.

ISS(2,3) sterile-neutrino dark matter from small lepton-number violation (arXiv:1709.00415 · score 19)No machine-readable X-ray line likelihood is bundled for the keV radiative-decay signal; the card only cites literature limits qualitatively (con_iss23_xray_stability: likelihood_available partial, recasting_needed yes), so exclusion in the (m_DM, sin^2 2theta) plane cannot be recomputed.
proposed resolution: Digitize the standard stacked X-ray (e.g. NuSTAR/XMM/Chandra blank-sky and cluster) limit curves on sin^2 2theta versus m_DM into a reusable likelihood table and wire it into the s3 recast step.
Neutrinophilic thermal dark matter Model II (arXiv:1901.01259 · score 19)No public, reusable DUNE near-detector mono-neutrino forward simulation and likelihood exists for this Z3 semi-annihilating neutrinophilic model: the signal event generation (charged-current scattering with dark-sector radiation), background templates, and charge-identification-dependent selections behind the paper's Poisson binned log-likelihood projection are not released, so the DUNE reach cannot be independently evaluated or extended beyond the paper's benchmarks.
proposed resolution: Implement the neutrinophilic mediator model in a neutrino-beam event generator (e.g. a GENIE/NuWro extension or MadGraph with DUNE flux inputs), rebuild the wrong-sign-lepton and missing-pT background templates for the liquid and gas argon near detectors, and package the binned Poisson log-likelihood with configurable detector-performance assumptions.
Neutrinophilic thermal dark matter Model III (arXiv:1901.01259 · score 19)No public, reusable DUNE near-detector mono-neutrino likelihood exists for this neutrinophilic model: the signal event generation (missing transverse momentum plus wrong-sign charged leptons in liquid/gas argon), background templates, and charge-identification/detector-response assumptions live only inside the paper's private projection.
proposed resolution: Implement the neutrinophilic scalar-mediator radiation process in a neutrino event generator (GENIE with a BSM module, or a MadGraph/UFO implementation convolved with the DUNE flux), fold in published DUNE near-detector performance parameters for p_T^miss and lepton charge ID, and release a binned Poisson log-likelihood validated against the paper's democratic and hierarchical flavor-benchmark reach contours.
Fourth-generation helium-bound dark atom scenario (arXiv:2106.11646 · score 19)No public likelihood exists for anomalous-helium isotope searches or dark-atom direct searches applicable to this model (all three card constraints have likelihood_available: no), so even a completed transport calculation cannot be turned into quantitative exclusions.

Fermionic superheavy X-particle from vacuum fluctuations (arXiv:hep-ph/9809547 · score 19)The UHECR constraint on the card is a historical SUGAR anisotropy recast with likelihood_available 'no'; no modern end-to-end likelihood combines superheavy-X decay fragmentation spectra, a Galactic-halo decay template, and current Auger/TA exposure and composition data to constrain (m_X, tau_X, Omega_X).
proposed resolution: Assemble a pipeline using HDMSpectra for X decay spectra at m_X above 1e13 GeV, a Milky-Way halo decay template with CRPropa propagation, and published Auger flux/photon-fraction/anisotropy limits, packaged as a tau_X-versus-m_X exclusion likelihood.

Froggatt-Nielsen keV sterile-neutrino dark matter, Scenario B (arXiv:1105.5136 · score 18)The X-ray decay constraint on the FN-predicted active-sterile mixing is only qualitative: no digitized keV X-ray line-limit tables or likelihood are attached to compare the computed N_1 -> nu gamma lifetime against observations target by target.

Hidden photon misalignment cold dark matter (arXiv:1201.5902 · score 18)The FIRAS spectral-distortion exclusion on resonant hidden-photon conversion exists only as an undigitized plot-level contour in the primary paper, so no quantitative likelihood in the (m_gamma_prime, chi) plane can be applied in the route.
proposed resolution: Digitize the FIRAS mu/y exclusion contour, or better, recompute it as a proper likelihood by folding the conversion-probability calculation through the FIRAS monopole-spectrum residuals, and store the result as a (m_gamma_prime, chi) likelihood table in the registry.

Neutrinophilic thermal dark matter Model IB (arXiv:1901.01259 · score 17)No public, reusable DUNE near-detector mono-neutrino forward simulation and likelihood exists for this neutrinophilic model: the signal event generation (charged-current scattering with dark-sector radiation), background templates, and charge-identification-dependent selections behind the paper's Poisson binned log-likelihood projection are not released, so the DUNE reach cannot be independently evaluated or updated for other parameter points.
proposed resolution: Implement the neutrinophilic mediator model in a neutrino-beam event generator (e.g. a GENIE/NuWro extension or MadGraph with DUNE flux inputs), rebuild the wrong-sign-lepton and missing-pT background templates for the liquid and gas argon near detectors, and package the binned Poisson log-likelihood with configurable detector-performance assumptions.

Trilinear-augmented gaugino mediation gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1804.11314 · score 34)No maintained public recast of current-luminosity CMS/ATLAS heavy-stable-charged-particle searches with efficiency maps applicable to the stau-NLSP benchmarks; the card only has the Run 1 recast plus a less detailed early 13 TeV reinterpretation, so collider viability of stau-NLSP points cannot be evaluated against present data.
proposed resolution: Implement the full-Run-2 CMS HSCP search (efficiency maps and signal-region likelihood) in a long-lived-particle recast framework such as CheckMATE or MadAnalysis 5 LLP, and apply it to the MadGraph+Pythia stau samples from step s3.
Two-component Majorana FIMP with scalar mediator (arXiv:1912.09458 · score 34)No recast of LHC heavy-stable-charged-particle searches (efficiency and acceptance maps for Drell-Yan-produced long-lived charged scalars) is available; the card lists the collider constraint as likelihood_available no, so only the quoted benchmark lower mass m_eta = 430 GeV can be used.

U(1) B-3L_tau scotogenic pattern-C fermion dark matter (arXiv:1911.00819 · score 34)No flavor-specific Z' dilepton recast exists: the LHC bound is recorded only as 'above the TeV scale' under simplified narrow-resonance and universal-coupling assumptions, while the B-3L_tau charge assignment gives tau-rich and quark (B-charge) couplings whose branching fractions change the excluded (M_Z', g') region, as the constraint's caveats state.
proposed resolution: Recast published ATLAS/CMS dilepton (and ditau) resonance searches with the exact B-3L_tau charges and widths, producing exclusion tables in the (M_Z', g') plane that also feed the suppressed Z'-portal contribution to the relic calculation.

proposed resolution: Assemble a recasting likelihood from the published MiniBooNE dark-matter-run data release and T2K/SHiP background estimates, and package it as a module that consumes BdNMC event distributions and returns exclusion contours in (m_chi, m_V, epsilon, alpha_D).
SIMP dark pions through the axion portal (arXiv:1806.10139 · score 32)Beam-dump, collider, and supernova ALP limits are only available as published exclusion curves for specific coupling bases; no recast pipeline maps this model's ALP coupling choice, lifetime, and branching ratios onto those searches, so the laboratory observable cannot be evaluated quantitatively.

Light fermionic dark sector with dark photon and dark Higgs (arXiv:1805.06179 · score 30)No public missing-energy recast likelihood exists for this multi-state dark sector: BaBar/NA64 exclusions and Belle II projections are quoted only as epsilon reach scales for a minimal invisible dark photon, while the model's chi_2 de-excitation and dark-Higgs associated-production topologies change signal acceptance.

Real scalar dark matter with 750 GeV quark-coupled portal mediator (arXiv:1605.09018 · score 19)No current collider likelihood exists for the 750 GeV quark-coupled portal: the diphoton input is the historical excess and the dijet constraint is a Run-1 quote, so the width/branching-ratio consistency condition (Gamma/M down to O(10^-3)) has never been recast against full Run-2 data.
proposed resolution: Recast full Run-2 ATLAS/CMS high-mass diphoton and dijet resonance searches for a 750 GeV q qbar-produced spin-zero mediator (e.g. generate signal with MadGraph and apply published limits or a CheckMATE-style recast), replacing the historical-excess input with proper upper-limit likelihoods on the partial widths.
Feebly coupled leptophilic Majorana dark matter (arXiv:1904.07513 · score 19)Only an approximate recast of CMS/ATLAS long-lived charged-particle and disappearing-track searches exists for this charged-scalar mediator: detector-efficiency maps and a reusable likelihood for slepton-like LLPs in the compressed (Delta m ~ 2 GeV) regime with soft leptons are not available (likelihood_available: approximate, likelihood_reference null).
proposed resolution: Add the relevant heavy-stable-charged-particle and disappearing-track efficiency maps to SModelS or the LLP Recasting Repository for a singly charged scalar decaying to chi plus a soft lepton, parameterized in (m_phi, Delta m, c tau), and publish the resulting acceptance-times-efficiency likelihood.

proposed resolution: Wrap the Looking_forward_to_photon_coupled_LLPs event-yield output in a Poisson counting likelihood with published detector acceptances and backgrounds (e.g. as a FASER recast module in a framework like GAMBIT ColliderBit), keeping the MDM two-body chi_1 -> chi_0 gamma decay mode distinct from the CR/AM three-body mode.
Bino-higgsino-tempered singlino NMSSM dark matter (arXiv:2401.08917 · score 19)No public recast implementation exists for the ATLAS photon-rich electroweakino searches (soft photons from compressed chi_i -> gamma chi_1 decays with multilepton or b-jet objects), so LHC/HL-LHC exclusions on the singlino-bino coannihilation spectra cannot be evaluated numerically.
proposed resolution: Implement the ATLAS photon electroweakino analysis in CheckMATE or MadAnalysis5 with validated Delphes photon thresholds for the compressed regime, and validate against the overlap regions quoted in the paper's figures.
Fermionic Higgs-portal dark matter with singlet-scalar inflation (arXiv:1512.09126 · score 18)The EWPT and LHC heavy-scalar mixing limits on (theta, m_s) are taken from the paper's 2015-era recast; no current combined collider likelihood for the mixed-singlet scalar is attached to the card.
proposed resolution: Apply HiggsTools (HiggsBounds/HiggsSignals) plus an updated oblique-parameter fit to the (theta, m_s) plane and export the allowed-region flag or likelihood used by the combined scan.
Type III seesaw GMSB gravitino dark matter with L H_u inflation (arXiv:2107.01263 · score 18)The card notes modern long-lived-particle collider limits were not recast: the heavy-stable-charged-particle exclusion for a 1 TeV stau with 10 s lifetime is quoted from an old CMS search, with no current LHC Run 2/3 recast or reusable likelihood attached.
proposed resolution: Recast current ATLAS/CMS full-Run-2 heavy-stable-charged-particle searches for the benchmark stau mass and lifetime using SModelS long-lived-particle results or a CheckMATE implementation of the HSCP analyses.
Charged-excitation WIMP Case A (arXiv:1209.6358 · score 18)The collider constraint rests on the CMS 7 TeV 5 fb^-1 heavy-stable-charged-particle search only; no implemented recast covers scalar charged-excitation production with the lifetime dependence of the track signature, and Run 2/3 HSCP searches are not applied.
proposed resolution: Implement the charged scalar pair-production model in MadGraph and recast current ATLAS/CMS 13 TeV HSCP and disappearing/long-lived track searches (e.g., via existing long-lived-particle recast frameworks) as a function of (m_X, tau), replacing the 2012 CMS bound.
CMSSM Q-ball bino co-genesis dark matter (arXiv:1405.6577 · score 18)No reproducible collider likelihood for the co-genesis parameter plane: only the 2014 ATLAS 8 TeV, 20 fb^-1 jets+MET contour is reproduced at paper level, with no analysis implementation packaged and no update to current 13 TeV ATLAS/CMS searches, so the surviving blue co-genesis region cannot be delineated against present data.
proposed resolution: Recast the co-genesis CMSSM scan through a public recast framework (CheckMATE or MadAnalysis5 with implemented ATLAS/CMS 13 TeV jets plus missing-ET searches), feeding SOFTSUSY spectra and standard cross-section tools, to produce an updated exclusion likelihood on the (m_0, M_1/2) plane.

proposed resolution: Build a recasting likelihood from the published MiniBooNE dark-matter-run and T2K neutral-current pi0 data releases (efficiencies, backgrounds, binned counts) and package it as a module that consumes BdNMC event distributions.
Inelastic third-generation B-L charged scalar dark matter (arXiv:1908.09277 · score 18)No recastable LHC ditau constraint exists for the (B-L)_3 mediator: the card carries only the primary paper's statement that the benchmark is consistent with current searches, with no production-cross-section times branching-ratio recast in the (m_Z_prime, g_(B-L)_3) plane.
proposed resolution: Recast the published ATLAS/CMS heavy-resonance ditau searches for a Z-prime with third-generation B-L couplings (b-quark-initiated production) into a tabulated exclusion contour in (m_Z_prime, g_(B-L)_3), stored as a registry data product alongside the analytic R_tau bound.

proposed resolution: Recast published muon-coupled light-scalar limits (g-2 preferred regions, NA64-mu type projections, meson and collider bounds) into a likelihood over the light-scalar mass and Y_l, joined with the relic-scan output.
750 GeV complex-scalar portal Majorana WIMP (arXiv:1603.05601 · score 16)Collider constraints are anchored to the historical 750 GeV diphoton-excess context with only approximate likelihoods; no recast of the monojet/dijet/diphoton (including s -> aa -> collimated 4 gamma) signatures against current Run-2/Run-3 LHC searches exists.
proposed resolution: Recast the scalar-resonance production and monojet/dijet/diphoton topologies with MadGraph plus CheckMATE/MadAnalysis against current ATLAS/CMS search likelihoods, replacing the 2016 excess-era cuts.
Asymmetric inelastic dark QED with dark muonium (arXiv:1909.07987 · score 16)No public event-level likelihood or validated recast exists for the low-missing-energy multi-lepton-jet final state from prompt darkonium decays; the y_X versus m_Aprime reach is available only as figure-level limits from the paper's own recast of LHC lepton-jet searches.
proposed resolution: Implement the relevant ATLAS/CMS prompt lepton-jet and exotic-Higgs-decay analyses as Rivet or CheckMATE recast cards validated against the published limits, and release the resulting likelihood over (y_X, m_Aprime, alpha_D, epsilon) for prompt A_prime decays.
Zee-Babu Z2 real scalar dark matter (arXiv:1209.1685 · score 14)No current Higgs signal-strength likelihood is implemented for the charged-scalar loop shift in H -> gamma gamma (the card notes a current fit is outside the batch and paper-era inputs are used).

proposed resolution: Digitize the ATLAS/CMS t-tbar resonance cross-section limits used by the source, compute sigma(pp -> Z' -> t tbar) over the (M_Zprime, g_X) plane with MadGraph using the rebuilt model files, and package the comparison as a reusable mask/likelihood.
pMSSM neutralino LSP model set (arXiv:1206.4321 · score 11)The collider filter on the neutralino pMSSM model set is a private fast-simulation recast of early 7/8 TeV ATLAS MET and non-MET analyses with no per-point public likelihood, so present-day exclusion statements over the model set cannot be reproduced or updated.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the collider stage on public recast tooling (MadGraph plus Delphes with CheckMATE/MadAnalysis analysis implementations, complemented by SModelS simplified-model limits) using current LHC analyses, and publish per-point coverage likelihoods for the model set.
Zprime-mediated singlet Dirac fermion dark matter (arXiv:1212.5647 · score 5)The collider constraint rests on a source-era 8 TeV monophoton recast; no validated 13/14 TeV monophoton-plus-MET recast with detector acceptance exists for the Chern-Simons Zprime mediator, which the card flags as the leading constraint channel.
proposed resolution: Generate monophoton-plus-MET events for the Zprime model with MadGraph using the gap_1 model files and recast current ATLAS/CMS Run 2 monophoton analyses in CheckMATE or MadAnalysis5, including a validity check of the effective Chern-Simons operators at collider energies.

Light thermal pseudo-Dirac dark matter with dark photon mediator (arXiv:2405.08881 · score 37)The sub-10-MeV BBN/Neff bound is only quoted from the literature; no dedicated light-dark-sector BBN/Neff recast exists for this model's thermal history, and the card warns sub-10-MeV targets should not be used without one.
proposed resolution: Run a dedicated light-sector cosmology calculation with a public BBN/Neff code (e.g. AlterBBN/PRIMAT combined with a dark-sector temperature-evolution solver) including the pseudo-Dirac states and dark photon in the thermal bath, to derive the model-specific low-mass floor.
Visible sterile-neutrino dark matter in scalar-tensor pre-BBN cosmology (arXiv:1909.04168 · score 37)No public numeric likelihoods exist for the constraint set used by the model: the BBN N_eff < 3.4 bound, X-ray/pre-recombination photon-injection decay limits, and TRISTAN/HUNTER/PTOLEMY/KATRIN sensitivity curves are all figure-level inputs that must be digitized to test the scalar-tensor parameter space.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published BBN, X-ray, and laboratory-reach contours in the (m_s, sin^2(2theta)) plane and package them as a joint likelihood module that consumes the scalar-tensor abundance rescaling, reusing existing X-ray line-search flux limits where available.
ALP dark matter with dark-photon late-time magnetogenesis (arXiv:1802.07269 · score 34)No packaged likelihoods exist for the photon-mixing constraints: the X-ray bound on g_AA/f and the CMB spectral-distortion bound on g_AX/f in the presence of the predicted B_X background are applied as single quoted numbers, not as recastable likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Construct a photon-ALP-dark-photon mixing recast that propagates the model's B_X background through the COBE/FIRAS spectral-distortion likelihood and existing astrophysical X-ray ALP-conversion datasets, producing exclusion contours in (g_AA/f, g_AX/f, B_X).
Type I seesaw freeze-in long-lived S dark matter (arXiv:2304.00184 · score 34)No CMB energy-injection likelihood has been recast for a 16 keV S decaying to nu + gamma: the tau_S > 1e25 s requirement is quoted from a related source without computing the energy-deposition efficiency for ~8 keV photon injection, so the critical lifetime constraint is a pass/fail proxy rather than an evaluated likelihood.
proposed resolution: Extend the DarkAges/ExoCLASS energy-deposition tables to soft keV photon injection from S -> nu gamma, couple to the Planck decaying-DM likelihood to obtain tau_S(m_S) bounds, and complement with X-ray line-search limits (e.g. blank-sky XMM/NuSTAR recasts) at E_gamma ~ m_S/2.
PBH-evaporation gravitational dark matter from curvature-perturbation PBHs (arXiv:2304.09194 · score 34)No likelihood or public sensitivity module exists for the MHz-GHz stochastic induced-GW signal, since detectors in this band are only proposed; the route ends at a spectrum with nothing to compare against quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Assemble published projected sensitivity curves of proposed high-frequency GW detectors (levitated sensors, bulk acoustic wave, Gertsenshtein-conversion searches) into a reusable power-law-integrated sensitivity/likelihood module for Omega_GW(f) in the MHz-GHz band.
Heavy dark-photon portal Dirac-fermion freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1911.03389 · score 34)The stellar-cooling, CMB energy-injection, and lab (sigma_e) constraints exist only as figure-level exclusion curves; no packaged likelihoods are recorded for any of the three constraints, preventing statistically combined scans of the (epsilon, alpha_D, m_chi, m_Aprime) space.
proposed resolution: Package the digitized stellar bound, the Planck p_ann annihilation likelihood mapped through the model's late-time <sigma v>, and published sigma_e limits (XENON, SENSEI, DAMIC, accelerator recasts) as interpolable likelihood surfaces keyed to the route's derived quantities.
Heavy dark-photon portal complex-scalar freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1911.03389 · score 34)The stellar-cooling, CMB energy-injection, and lab (sigma_e) constraints exist only as figure-level exclusion curves; no packaged likelihoods are recorded for any of the three constraints, preventing statistically combined scans of the (epsilon, alpha_D, m_phi, m_Aprime) space.
proposed resolution: Package the digitized stellar bound, the Planck p_ann annihilation likelihood mapped through the scalar's velocity-suppressed late-time <sigma v>, and published sigma_e limits (XENON, SENSEI, DAMIC, accelerator recasts) as interpolable likelihood surfaces keyed to the route's derived quantities.
Axion Quark Nugget dark matter with magnetar-triggered FRB scenario (arXiv:1806.02352 · score 33)No FRB population likelihood exists for the AQN trigger hypothesis: the model is compared to FRB energies, durations, frequencies, and the energy-distribution slope only by qualitative consistency, without an impact-rate-based population model or catalog selection effects.
proposed resolution: Build the AQN impact rate (from B, rho_DM, magnetar population synthesis) into a public FRB population framework such as frbpoppy, forward-model the predicted energy/duration/rate distributions with CHIME/FRB selection functions, and release the resulting catalog likelihood over (B, trigger efficiency).
Type III seesaw freeze-in long-lived S dark matter (arXiv:2304.00184 · score 33)No CMB energy-injection likelihood has been recast for a 1 keV S decaying to nu + gamma: the tau_S > 1e25 s requirement is quoted from a related source without computing the energy-deposition efficiency for ~0.5 keV photon injection, so the critical lifetime constraint is a pass/fail proxy rather than an evaluated likelihood.
proposed resolution: Extend the DarkAges/ExoCLASS energy-deposition tables to sub-keV photon injection from S -> nu gamma, couple to the Planck decaying-DM likelihood to obtain tau_S(m_S) bounds, and complement with soft-X-ray line-search recasts at E_gamma ~ m_S/2.
Forbidden leptophilic Dirac-fermion dark matter with scalar mediator (arXiv:2306.07753 · score 33)No implemented likelihoods exist for the future probes that test the surviving parameter space: CMB-S4 annihilation sensitivity, next-generation beam-dump reach, and high-luminosity e+e- collider limits on the leptophilic scalar mediator are quoted projections without recast pipelines.
proposed resolution: Encode the CMB-S4 p_ann forecast, published beam-dump projection curves, and e+e- mediator-production sensitivities as likelihood modules over (m_chi, m_phi, delta, alpha_ll_S, alpha_chi_S), interpolating the digitized curves and folding in the temperature-suppressed forbidden annihilation rate for the CMB channel.
Stable scalar mediator self-interacting fermion dark matter (arXiv:1910.01238 · score 32)No reusable likelihood or recast module exists for the CMB, BBN, supernova-cooling, and beam-dump constraints on the visibly-decaying dark Higgs h2 in the (m_h2, sin theta, tau_h2) plane, on which the model's cosmological viability hinges.
proposed resolution: Digitize the published light-scalar bounds (BBN energy-injection, Planck CMB, SN1987A cooling, beam-dump exclusions) into a constraint module keyed to (m_h2, mixing, lifetime), and combine with DDCalc-style direct-detection limits for the joint allowed-region evaluation.
Neutron dark decay Dirac fermion plus photon dark matter (arXiv:1801.01124 · score 31)No public likelihood or detector-acceptance recast exists for a monochromatic 0.782-1.664 MeV photon from n -> chi gamma in beam or ultracold-neutron experiments; existing radiative-decay and visible-branch searches were not designed for this exact final state and their efficiencies have not been mapped onto (m_chi, Br_dark).
proposed resolution: Recast published UCN and beam neutron-decay photon spectra (e.g. the UCNtau-style radiative search data cited via arxiv:1905.01912-era analyses) into an efficiency-corrected limit on Br(n -> chi gamma) as a function of E_gamma across the 0.782-1.664 MeV window, and release it as a tabulated likelihood.
Pseudo-Dirac Higgs-portal dark matter with excited-state decay (arXiv:2202.12673 · score 31)The Delta N_eff signature has no forecast likelihood: the CMB-S4 constraint entry is 'recast_required' with likelihood_available 'unknown', and since the predicted shift (1e-4) is far below CMB-S4's ~0.03 sensitivity, no existing pipeline can quantify what future experiment or combination would test this signature.
proposed resolution: Build a Fisher/MCMC forecast module (e.g. in MontePython or cobaya with CMB-S4 and post-S4 noise specifications) that maps (tau_chi1, Delta m, branching) to a Delta N_eff posterior, establishing the exposure needed to reach the 1e-4 level and providing the missing forecast likelihood for this channel.
Vector SIMP dark matter in SU_X(2) x U(1)_Z' gauge model (arXiv:2307.02207 · score 31)All constraints on this model are event-count exclusion contours or qualitative CMB/IGM comparisons; no machine-readable likelihood exists for the beam-dump limits, the LDMX projection, or the p-wave energy-injection bounds.
proposed resolution: Digitize the 90% C.L. LSND/MiniBooNE/NA64 contours and the LDMX projection into interpolated likelihood functions, and recast Planck/IGM-temperature energy-injection limits to the model's p-wave thermally averaged cross section, releasing them as a small likelihood package.
Low-reheat Standard Model neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0012317 · score 31)The BBN constraint on MeV-scale reheating with a keV active-neutrino dark-matter component is not available as a runnable likelihood (con_low_reheat_bbn: likelihood_available no, recasting_needed yes); the paper's BBN compatibility statement rests on older cosmological inputs and has not been rerun with modern light-element data.
proposed resolution: Couple the low-reheat neutrino thermalization solution to a modern BBN code (PRIMAT or PArthENoPE) with current D/H and He-4 measurements, and release the resulting T_RH-m_nu likelihood following the methodology of the Planck-era reheating-floor analyses.
Warm dark matter from long-lived Majorana fermion decays (arXiv:1303.6267 · score 30)The dark-radiation branch is constrained only by the source-era Planck N_eff value (3.36 +/- 0.34); no current CMB/BBN likelihood for a late-decaying parent injecting nonthermal neutrinos and dark radiation has been applied, so the N_eff and BBN limits on tau2 and M1/M2 are outdated.
proposed resolution: Recompute Delta N_eff(tau2, M1/M2) from the decay energy budget and evaluate it against the current Planck (plus BBN abundance) likelihoods for extra radiation and late electromagnetic/neutrino injection, updating the source-era bound.
Scalar-parent non-thermal vector WIMP dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 30)No numerical BBN/CMB spectral-distortion likelihood is attached for the photon emitted in S -> B_mu + photon; the lifetime cap tau_X < 1e4 s and energy-release bounds are taken conceptually and graphically from the paper (likelihood_available: approximate/no).
proposed resolution: Recast the electromagnetic-injection constraint with a public BBN injection code (ACROPOLIS or AlterBBN with photodisintegration) plus COBE/FIRAS mu- and y-distortion Green's-function limits, parameterized by (tau_X, zeta), and expose it as a likelihood over the model's lifetime-energy plane.
Self-interacting dark matter with a stable vector mediator (arXiv:1804.10385 · score 30)No CMB energy-injection recast exists for this model's two-species annihilation (psi psi -> Z_D h_D plus residual Z_D Z_D -> h_D h_D) where visible energy arrives only after dark-Higgs decay; the required f_eff depends on species abundances, h_D visible branching, and recombination-era Sommerfeld enhancement.
proposed resolution: Compute channel-weighted f_eff(z) with DarkHistory (or ExoCLASS) using h_D decay spectra for each mass point, include the Sommerfeld factor at recombination velocities, and compare to the Planck p_ann constraint to produce excluded regions in the mass-coupling plane.
Sub-GeV U(1)_T3R Majorana dark matter (arXiv:2203.07786 · score 30)No likelihood or recast pipeline exists for the combined sub-GeV direct-detection bounds (XENON1T boosted-DM, CRESST-III, CDEX-1B) and Planck energy-injection constraint applied to this model's inelastic/isospin-violating two-mediator scattering and channel-dependent annihilation (likelihood_available: no on all cosmological/direct-detection constraints).
proposed resolution: Build a recast module: compute sigma_SI with the scalar/vector mediator form factors, interface to published XENON1T/CRESST-III/CDEX-1B efficiency curves, and couple the annihilation-channel classification (p-wave, co-annihilation, invisible) to ExoCLASS/DarkHistory f_eff tables for the Planck injection bound.
Light-right-handed-neutrino lepto-axiogenesis axion dark matter (freeze-out) (arXiv:2402.10263 · score 30)No packaged joint likelihood or digitized exclusion contours exist for combining Y_B, Omega_a h^2, and Delta N_eff in this model's (f_a, m_S, m_N, y_N) space; the dark-radiation constraint comparison is only a quoted Delta N_eff > 0.17 label and the baryon-yield underproduction region was not digitized.
proposed resolution: Digitize the primary paper's allowed/excluded contours and wrap the standard Planck+BBN Delta N_eff likelihood (and CMB-S4 forecast at sigma(Delta N_eff) ~ 0.06) into a scan-ready likelihood over (f_a, m_a, m_S, m_N, y_N, Y_theta).
Z4 late-decaying dark matter (arXiv:1012.0067 · score 29)Visible-decay flux limits for the near-degenerate splitting regime (delta_m near 2 m_e, very soft e+e- or neutrino-only final states) exist only as un-digitized figure contours in the source literature; the card records likelihood_available: partial and un-recast exclusion regions for the charged-lepton decay channel.
proposed resolution: Digitize and recast the soft-lepton and neutrino decay-flux constraints (Galactic and extragalactic, plus CMB energy-injection limits for the e+e- branch) into a lifetime-vs-branching likelihood keyed to (delta_m, tau_chi_star, branching fractions).
ALP catastrogenesis dark matter (arXiv:2207.07126 · score 29)The final constraints step uses approximate CMB GW limits, astrometry forecasts, and abundance cuts as hard boundaries; no composed likelihood exists that evaluates a (m_a, V, N, epsilon_b, T_ann) point against the very-low-frequency GW data and the f_ALP <= 1 and T_ann > 5 eV consistency requirements.
proposed resolution: Build a joint likelihood combining published CMB B-mode/temperature bounds on Omega_GW at ultra-low frequencies, Gaia/Roman astrometry GW sensitivity curves, and the ALP abundance target, wrapped so that the semi-analytic Omega_GW(f) and Omega_a predictions can be scanned with a standard sampler.
Gauged global string QCD axion model (arXiv:2311.07639 · score 29)CMB angular-power constraints on string tension have not been recast for this model's mixed Y-junction network of global, heavy-core, and gauge strings; the primary paper invokes G_mu bounds only qualitatively, so no quantitative allowed region in (v_1, v_2, e) exists.
proposed resolution: Map the simulated network's string abundance and effective tension spectrum onto the unconnected-segment-model templates used in Planck string analyses and rerun the CMB likelihood to derive quantitative G_mu limits for the hybrid network.
Left-right mirror symmetric sterile Dirac fermion CDM (arXiv:1910.03414 · score 29)The domain-wall CMB safety check rests on an order-of-magnitude Delta T/T scaling with no domain-wall network simulation or CMB anisotropy likelihood for dark Z2M breaking at v_0 ~ 0.1 MeV.
proposed resolution: Run a scaling-regime domain-wall network simulation (or apply published wall-network CMB constraints such as Zeldovich-type bounds recomputed for this wall tension) to replace the order-of-magnitude estimate with a quantitative Planck-based bound on v_0.
Two-component asymmetric dark matter via bound states and freeze-in decay (arXiv:1911.06788 · score 28)No BBN/CMB energy-injection likelihood exists for late bound-state decays into boosted light dark matter with associated visible entropy injection near the BBN epoch; the card flags the timing but implements no likelihood (con_late_decay_bbn_injection has likelihood_available no).
proposed resolution: Build a recast that maps Gamma_B, T_decay, and visible branching assumptions onto existing BBN codes (AlterBBN/PArthENoPE) and CMB energy-injection machinery (ExoCLASS/DarkHistory), producing exclusion contours in the (Gamma_B, m_heavy/m_light, coupling) space.
Bino-to-gravitino non-thermal dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 28)No numerical BBN/CMB spectral-distortion likelihood is attached for the photon injected in the bino-to-gravitino decay; the lifetime cap tau_B < 1e4 s and energy-release bounds are taken conceptually and graphically from the paper (likelihood_available: approximate/no).
proposed resolution: Recast the electromagnetic-injection constraint with a public BBN injection code (ACROPOLIS or AlterBBN with photodisintegration) plus COBE/FIRAS mu- and y-distortion Green's-function limits, parameterized by (tau_B, zeta), and expose it as a likelihood over the model's lifetime-energy plane.
CMSSM LD 5+5 vector-like extension with neutralino dark matter (arXiv:1701.08778 · score 28)The global likelihood is not reusable: the source MultiNest scan combined a now-outdated LUX hard cut, source-era flavor/Higgs data, and pre-2021 muon g-2 inputs into a private likelihood, so surviving regions cannot be re-evaluated against modern LZ/XENONnT/PandaX direct detection or the current a_mu value.
proposed resolution: Reassemble the global likelihood from public components — DDCalc-style LZ/XENONnT SI likelihoods replacing the LUX hard cut, current HiggsSignals/HiggsBounds datasets, FlavorKit observables, Planck Omega h^2, and the updated muon g-2 world average — and rerun the scan with MultiNest or a modern sampler over the CMSSM+LD parameters.
Starobinsky-inflaton scalar dark matter from dark-sector preheating (arXiv:2403.04848 · score 28)The CMB constraint on T_reh with dark preheating was obtained by recasting the published Starobinsky reheating parameterization, not by rerunning a CMB likelihood; there is no joint likelihood connecting the preheating-modified N_star to Planck/BICEP-Keck data.
proposed resolution: Wrap the analytic N_star(T_reh, coupling) to (n_s, r) map as a theory module in Cobaya/MontePython and sample against the Planck 2018 plus BICEP/Keck likelihoods to get proper posterior bounds on T_reh and the couplings.
Fast-decaying axino gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1104.0692 · score 27)No likelihood exists for the m_axino-m_3/2 region classification: the overclosure/reheating bound is a hard analytic cut against the quoted abundance normalization and the BBN checks are approximate literature tables, so the narrow Region III viability cannot be quantified statistically.
proposed resolution: Implement the paper's thermal-yield and lifetime formulas as a scan code over (m_axino, m_3/2, f_a, T_R, superpartner spectrum) with a joint likelihood combining the Planck Omega_DM h^2 measurement and tabulated BBN late-decay bounds, replacing the figure-level allowed/excluded regions.
Interacting cold dark matter-dark radiation drag model (arXiv:1507.04351 · score 27)The cosmological constraint rests on Planck 2015 TT+lowP, CFHTLenS, and Planck SZ summary statistics partly inferred assuming LCDM; no model-consistent likelihood analysis with current CMB, BAO, and weak-lensing data exists, so the reported preference for nonzero drag cannot be treated as current evidence.
proposed resolution: Rerun the inference in Cobaya/MontePython with Planck 2018 (or ACT/SPT) likelihoods, DESI/BOSS BAO, and full KiDS/DES weak-lensing likelihoods evaluated on the model's own matter power spectrum instead of LCDM-derived S8 summaries.
Dark-baryon self-destructing dark matter (arXiv:1712.00455 · score 27)No likelihood exists for SDDM visible-energy decay topologies (one to three lepton pairs with fixed invariant masses and directionality) in large neutrino detectors; detector-specific efficiencies, exposures, and backgrounds for Super-K, Borexino, SNO+, and DUNE are absent from the model paper, so limits in the rate-per-volume versus mass/lifetime plane cannot be set.
proposed resolution: Recast the Super-K boosted-dark-matter and dinucleon-decay searches into an SDDM event-rate-per-volume likelihood: build detector geometry/exposure models, apply published multi-lepton reconstruction efficiencies and atmospheric-neutrino backgrounds, and release limits in the m_V versus daughter-mass plane as a reusable likelihood module extensible to SNO+ and DUNE.
U(1) L_mu-L_tau Majorana fermion dark matter (arXiv:1912.10487 · score 26)No reusable likelihood exists for the combined Planck relic-band plus PICO-60/LUX spin-dependent constraints on this model; the card notes only contour-level information is available and figure contours would need digitizing.
proposed resolution: Once a model implementation exists, build a composite likelihood combining a Gaussian Planck Omega h^2 term with the published PICO-60 exposure limit (e.g. via DDCalc's spin-dependent likelihood machinery) instead of digitized exclusion contours.
SU(2)_D chiral fermion dark matter (arXiv:1912.11332 · score 26)No likelihood is packaged for the constraints applied to this model: the XENON1T bound and LZ/XENONnT projections have no likelihood on the card, the relic-plus-perturbativity limit is only approximate, and the Higgs-invisible-width exclusion below about 57 GeV exists only as a paper statement requiring recasting.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's sigma_SI output into DDCalc's XENON1T/LZ likelihoods, add a Gaussian Planck Omega h^2 term, and recast the ATLAS/CMS Higgs invisible branching-ratio limit through the sin^2(theta)-scaled invisible width formula to form a composite reusable likelihood.
MeV complex-scalar thermal dark matter with pseudoscalar lepton portal (arXiv:2310.06611 · score 26)No packaged joint likelihood maps the solver output (N_eff, light-element abundances, Omega_chi h^2) onto the mass/branching plane; the card records likelihood_available as unknown/none for both cosmological constraints, so bounds are currently read off published figures.
proposed resolution: Couple the three-sector solver output to PRIMAT or PArthENoPE for light-element abundances and to the Planck N_eff posterior (e.g. via Cobaya/MontePython), producing a reusable likelihood over (m_chi, BR_EM, BR_nu, sigma_v).
Simplified spin-1 dark matter with dark photon mediator (arXiv:2307.02207 · score 26)No machine-readable likelihoods exist for any constraint on this model: beam-dump/LDMX limits are event-count contours only, XENON1T/XENON10 electron-transition limits require operator-dependent recasting to the b5/b7 spin-1 matrix elements, and CMB/IGM energy-injection bounds are applied as published exclusion curves for other partial-wave assumptions.
proposed resolution: Encode digitized 90% C.L. beam-dump contours and recast the XENON electron-recoil limits to the spin-1 b5/b7 cross sections (e.g. via QEdark-style form factors), and map the b_i-dependent annihilation partial waves onto Planck p_ann and IGM-temperature likelihoods, packaging all of them as reusable interpolated likelihood functions.
Higgs portal scalar dark matter with gravitational reheating production (arXiv:2403.05199 · score 26)No forecast likelihood exists for the production-channel discrimination route: the mapping from future CMB B-mode measurements to H_inf and from primordial-GW spectral measurements to T_R is stated only qualitatively, with no experiment covariance or inflation-model likelihood encoded.
proposed resolution: Build Fisher/mock likelihoods for LiteBIRD/CMB-S4 r-measurements (giving H_inf) and a DECIGO-like primordial GW spectrum (giving T_R via the reheating-induced spectral knee) for a chosen inflation model, then propagate the posteriors onto the abundance contours from gap_1.
CMSSM gravitino dark matter with thermal and NLSP-decay production (arXiv:hep-ph/0509275 · score 26)No public BBN/CMB energy-injection likelihood reproduces the paper's constraint: the BBN code with hadronic injection and adopted light-element ranges is private, and no machine-readable CMB spectral-distortion bound is supplied for the (tau_NLSP, E_em, E_had, Omega_NLSP) inputs.
proposed resolution: Extend a public injection code (e.g. ACROPOLIS) with hadronic cascade yields and stau bound-state catalysis, couple it to updated light-element abundance likelihoods and the FIRAS mu/y distortion bound, and expose it as a function of (m_NLSP, m_3/2, B_h, Omega_NLSP h^2).
SU(2)_D chiral fermion plus T-prime boson dark matter (arXiv:1912.11332 · score 25)No likelihood exists for the two-component constraints: the xenon spin-independent bound and the two-species relic-consistency condition are available only as paper-level statements (likelihood_available no/approximate), with no packaged abundance-weighted direct-detection likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a composite likelihood combining a Gaussian Planck term on the summed Omega h^2 with DDCalc XENON1T/LZ likelihoods evaluated on the fraction-weighted sum of the two components' recoil spectra.
U(1)_{e-mu} Dirac leptophilic dark matter with two-loop neutrino masses (arXiv:2004.04304 · score 25)The CMB energy-injection bound on the Breit-Wigner-enhanced annihilation is applied only as a quoted B_CMB threshold (e.g. B_CMB > 40.32 excluded at 400 GeV); no tool computes the velocity-averaged enhancement at recombination-era velocities for this model and folds it through a Planck likelihood.
proposed resolution: Derive <sigma v>(v) over the CMB-era velocity distribution for the resonant Zprime propagator and feed the resulting p_ann into ExoCLASS or DarkHistory with the Planck 2018 injection likelihood, scanning the resonance parameters a_x and m_Zprime - 2 m_X.
Pure-scalar inelastic coannihilation dark matter model (arXiv:2111.01164 · score 25)No public displaced-vertex likelihood or recast exists for the s2 long-lived-particle signature: the route carries only the paper's HL-LHC projection with no attached likelihood, and detector acceptances were not rerun.
proposed resolution: Recast existing ATLAS/CMS Run-2 displaced-vertex plus missing-energy searches for this topology using the LLP modules of MadAnalysis 5 or CheckMATE, and encode the HL-LHC 3 ab^-1 projection as an efficiency map over (m2, c tau_s2, production cross section).
SU(3) x U(1) ten-plet accident dark matter (arXiv:2307.10092 · score 25)No reusable likelihoods exist for any of the model's observables: the Delta N_eff bound, the multi-component relic plus halo-morphology constraints, and the direct-detection recast are all stated as unavailable in the card.
proposed resolution: Wrap the analytic Delta N_eff prediction in a Planck/BBN N_eff likelihood (e.g. via a MontePython/Cobaya likelihood module), and package the direct-detection recast against published xenon exclusion curves once gap_3 closes, giving a joint likelihood over (m_DM, g_D, lambda_H, T_prime_over_T).
Two-flavor chiral composite asymmetric dark matter (arXiv:2105.07642 · score 24)No direct-detection recast or likelihood exists for GeV-scale composite dark baryons scattering through a ~100 MeV dark photon: the light-mediator momentum dependence and detector thresholds for ~1 GeV dark matter are outside standard heavy-mediator WIMP pipelines, and the card records likelihood_available no.
proposed resolution: Extend DDCalc/DarkBit-style recoil machinery with a light-mediator propagator form factor and low-threshold XENONnT/LZ/DARWIN efficiency curves for m_DM near 1 GeV, exposing a likelihood in (m_DM, m_A_prime, epsilon, alpha_D).
Three-flavor chiral composite ADM with B-L portal (arXiv:2105.07642 · score 24)No direct-detection recast or likelihood exists for multi-component GeV dark baryons with nonzero U(1)_D charges scattering off protons via a ~100 MeV dark photon; light-mediator momentum dependence, multi-component abundances, and low thresholds are outside standard WIMP pipelines and likelihood_available is no.
proposed resolution: Extend a DDCalc/DarkBit-style recoil calculator with a light-mediator form factor, per-component abundance weighting over the dark baryon octet, and XENONnT/LZ/DARWIN efficiency curves for few-GeV dark matter.
KSVZ axion dark matter with dimension-greater-than-five heavy-quark decays (arXiv:2310.16087 · score 24)The BBN/CMB check is currently only the coarse T_decay^Q > 3 MeV temperature cut; no likelihood propagates the hadronic and electromagnetic injection from GeV-scale colored-relic decays with model-dependent final states into light-element and CMB constraints for this scenario.
proposed resolution: Recast the Q decay spectra (per operator choice of q_L, d_R, u_R couplings) through a public late-decay BBN code such as ACROPOLIS/AlterBBN, extending it with hadronic-injection treatment where needed, to replace the 3 MeV proxy with an actual tau_Q-branching-ratio likelihood.
R-invariant new-inflation gauge-mediated gravitino dark matter (arXiv:0710.1883 · score 24)No packaged BBN/CMB energy-injection likelihood is available for this model's late NLSP decays; only related-literature gravitino-DM bounds exist and require recasting onto the new-inflation GMSB benchmark (con_bbn_cmb_late_decays: likelihood_available partial, recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Recast the benchmark's (tau_NLSP, zeta_EM, zeta_had) through a public BBN energy-injection code such as ACROPOLIS, and wrap the resulting light-element and CMB bounds as a reusable likelihood over (m_3/2, T_R, NLSP parameters).
Cosmologically stable axino-gravitino co-dark matter (arXiv:1104.0692 · score 24)No likelihood exists for the cosmological region classification in the m_axino-m_3/2 plane: the thermal overclosure/reheating bound is imposed as a hard analytic cut against a fixed rho0/s0 = 4e-10 GeV normalization, and the BBN/structure comparisons are approximate literature tables rather than an implemented constraint pipeline.
proposed resolution: Implement the paper's thermal-yield formulas as a scan code over (m_axino, m_3/2, f_a, T_R, superpartner spectrum) and attach a joint likelihood combining the Planck Omega_DM h^2 measurement with tabulated BBN late-decay bounds, replacing the figure-level allowed/excluded classification.
Majoronic dark radiation with residual-dark-parity scalar dark matter (arXiv:1406.4601 · score 24)The constraint scan uses only historical inputs (2013-era N_eff hints of 3.6-3.8, LUX first result, early Higgs signal data); no likelihood pipeline against current Planck 2018 N_eff, LZ/XENONnT direct detection, and modern Higgs invisible-width limits exists, so the model's present viability cannot be evaluated.
proposed resolution: Rerun the parameter scan with the muon-epoch Majoron decoupling Delta N_eff prediction tested against the Planck 2018 (and forthcoming CMB-S4) N_eff likelihood, sigma_SI against public LZ likelihoods via DDCalc, and Gamma_h_inv against current ATLAS/CMS invisible-width limits.
X-portal vector MeV dark matter (arXiv:1608.05443 · score 24)No assembled CMB energy-injection and BBN/N_eff likelihood recast for p-wave MeV annihilation to e+e- in this model; the cosmological mass window is currently an analytic estimate rather than a statistical constraint.
proposed resolution: Compute the velocity-dependent energy-injection history with DarkHistory/ExoCLASS, the N_eff shift with AlterBBN, and couple both to the Planck likelihood for the model's e+e--dominated final states.
Thermal dark matter through the Dirac neutrino portal (arXiv:1709.07001 · score 24)Rare-decay missing-energy constraints (E949/NA62 K+ -> pi+ + invisible, tau and meson decays) lack a reusable recast with experiment-specific efficiencies and spectra for an invisibly decaying pseudo-Dirac sterile mediator.
proposed resolution: Build a recast module that convolves the model's K/tau missing-energy spectra with published E949 and NA62 signal-region efficiencies, packaged as a likelihood over (m_4, U_alpha4) with invisible branching fraction as input.
Primordial extremal black holes with dark electromagnetism (arXiv:1906.04858 · score 24)Existing diffuse-gamma (COMPTEL/EGRET), BBN, and CMB injection limits apply to ordinary evaporating PBHs; no recast pipeline maps them onto the PeBH two-stage history (initial evaporation to the near-extremal state plus residual remnant emission) with the initial-to-remnant mass rescaling the source prescribes.
proposed resolution: Build a recast layer that takes the charged-remnant injection history from the extended Hawking code and rescales published f_PBH(M) evaporation constraints (and energy-injection BBN/CMB bounds) to f_eBH as a function of remnant mass and initial mass function, recovering the source's ~1.4e9 g BBN transition scale as validation.
Model A': Dirac self-interacting dark matter with a light vector mediator (arXiv:1912.11708 · score 24)The cosmological and laboratory end-point constraints are not wired up as evaluable likelihoods for this model: Planck energy-injection, BBN photodisintegration/N_eff, and light-mediator direct-detection limits exist only as quoted exclusion statements, although public tools cover each physics ingredient.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast pipeline feeding the s2 outputs (mediator yield, lifetime, <sigma v>_rec with Sommerfeld enhancement) into DarkHistory/ExoCLASS for CMB energy injection, ACROPOLIS for BBN photodisintegration and N_eff, and DDCalc-style likelihoods for the kinetic-mixing nuclear-recoil rate.
Scalar-vector inelastic coannihilation dark matter model (arXiv:2111.01164 · score 24)No implemented recast pipeline exists for the displaced inelastic-DM searches (HL-LHC displaced vertices, FASER forward decays, STCF-style low-mass searches); the route attaches no public likelihood and only qualitative reach statements from related work.
proposed resolution: Simulate A prime-mediated s1 s2 production with MadGraph+Pythia and build acceptance maps for displaced decays: use FORESEE for the FASER forward geometry and MadAnalysis 5/CheckMATE LLP modules for central displaced-vertex searches, packaged as an efficiency grid over (m2, Delta, epsilon, g_D, c tau_s2).
Dark baryon model with right-handed scalar mediator Model 1 (arXiv:2111.12712 · score 24)BESIII and LHCb hyperon branching-ratio likelihoods are not packaged and experiment-specific efficiency models are unavailable, so laboratory limits can only be applied as a single quoted 90% CL upper bound rather than a proper likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a packaged likelihood from the published BESIII invisible-hyperon search (BR < 7.4e-5) and LHCb hyperon analyses, including an efficiency model per hyperon species, in a recasting framework so Wilson coefficients map directly to exclusion significance.
Alternative U(1)_X Dirac right-handed-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2202.08508 · score 24)The constraint overlays use published exclusion curves rather than current experiment likelihoods: no up-to-date joint recast (latest LHC dilepton dataset, current xenon-experiment likelihoods, Planck Delta N_eff posterior) exists for this model's parameter bands.
proposed resolution: Assemble a joint scan using public recast machinery: current dilepton resonance limits applied to the X boson (e.g. a ZPEED-style recast with the paper's charges), DDCalc for spin-independent limits, and the Planck N_eff likelihood, over (m_chi, m_X, g_X, x_H).
Near-continuum Z-portal dark matter (arXiv:2306.13009 · score 24)CMB constraints on late decays of above-gap continuum states require energy-injection likelihoods that integrate over a continuum of lifetimes and injection spectra weighted by the spectral density; existing decaying-dark-matter injection tools only treat a single species with a single lifetime.
proposed resolution: Extend DarkHistory or ExoCLASS with an injection term integrated over the continuum lifetime distribution tau(mu) and abundance rho(mu), then evaluate Planck energy-injection likelihoods to bound the allowed spectral-density and portal-coupling region.
Resonant pseudo-Dirac dark matter (arXiv:2308.01960 · score 24)No CMB (or BBN photodissociation) energy-injection likelihood accepts the strongly velocity-dependent resonant annihilation rate of this model; standard Planck p_ann limits assume a constant s-wave cross section and cannot be applied blindly, as the card itself notes.
proposed resolution: Feed the redshift-dependent <sigma v>(v(z)) from the resonant thermal history into ExoCLASS or DarkHistory to compute the recombination-era injection and rerun the Planck anisotropy likelihood; add a BBN photodissociation check for the small-delta_R edge using the same injection history.
Resonant pseudo-Dirac dark matter (arXiv:2308.01960 · score 24)No accelerator recast exists for the resonant inelastic-dark-matter target: beam-dump and collider dark-photon limits must be remapped to the model's epsilon-g_D plane with the near-threshold m_A = 2 m_chi(1+delta_R) kinematics, semi-visible/displaced chi_2 decay modes, and the CMB-allowed coupling targets.
proposed resolution: Extend a dark-photon recast framework (e.g. DarkCast plus experiment acceptance maps) with the inelastic chi_1-chi_2 branching structure and chi_2 lifetime, and recompute existing beam-dump/collider exclusions along the resonant relic-target curve.
ALP dark matter with photon-dark-photon gauge-field depletion (arXiv:2401.11822 · score 24)No recast maps the predicted magnetic and dark-photon spectra of the heavier ALPs (m_phi ~ 10^-12-10^-8 eV, large g_X = g_AX couplings) onto the X-ray photon-ALP conversion and CMB spectral-distortion bounds, which were derived for late-time ultralight magnetogenesis with different spectra.
proposed resolution: Derive the constraint mapping for the paper's spectra: propagate the produced B and dark-photon backgrounds through photon-ALP-dark-photon mixing to compute X-ray conversion signals and mu/y distortions, then compare against COBE/FIRAS and X-ray survey limits as a reusable likelihood over (m_phi, f, g_A, g_AX).
Low-reheating visible sterile-neutrino hot dark matter subcomponent (arXiv:hep-ph/0412304 · score 24)No machine-readable likelihoods exist for the constraints that define the viable region: the BBN Delta N_eff bound at low T_R, and the radiative-decay X-ray/DEBRA/SN1987A bounds recast to a hot sterile subcomponent with fraction f_s; only qualitative excluded regions from the proceedings are recorded.
proposed resolution: Build a radiative-decay flux calculator (Gamma_rad from m_s, sin^2 2theta, scaled by f_s) interfaced to current diffuse X-ray background and cluster limits, and encode the low-reheating BBN Delta N_eff bound as a likelihood, replacing the digitized historical exclusion curves.
Negative-m0-squared mSUGRA gravitino superWIMP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0512172 · score 24)The BBN/CMB viability of late slepton decays is undetermined (likelihood_available unknown; the paper defers detailed cosmology): no public likelihood evaluates electromagnetic plus hadronic injection and charged-slepton bound-state catalysis for the model's tau_NLSP and Y_NLSP.
proposed resolution: Couple the analytic decay yields to a public BBN injection code (e.g. extend ACROPOLIS with hadronic yields and stau/selectron catalyzed BBN) plus the FIRAS spectral-distortion bound, returning allowed regions in (m_3/2, m_NLSP, Y_NLSP).
Composite accidental QCD axion (arXiv:1602.05427 · score 23)No quantitative likelihood or recast pipeline exists for the ultralight-ALP byproducts (CMB polarization precession for 1e-33 to 4e-28 eV masses and black-hole superradiance for 1e-18 to 1e-10 eV); the paper only quotes mass windows.
proposed resolution: Recast published CMB birefringence constraints and black-hole spin/superradiance exclusion regions onto the (m_ALP, f_PQ) plane of the specific composite constructions that produce extra singlet ALPs.
Bosonic forbidden light dark matter with meson-decay portals (arXiv:2005.07102 · score 23)No BBN/CMB likelihood is available for MeV-scale thermal scalar dark matter with a temperature-dependent forbidden annihilation rate; the m_1 above a few MeV and CMB-safe late-annihilation requirements are only rough analytic filters on the card.
proposed resolution: Evaluate N_eff and light-element yields with an MeV-DM-capable BBN code (e.g. an AlterBBN/PRyMordial-type extension with the thermalized S1-phi sector) and fold the exponentially suppressed <sigma v>(z) into the standard Planck energy-injection (p_ann) likelihood.
Fermionic secluded light dark matter with meson-decay portals (arXiv:2005.07102 · score 23)No BBN/CMB likelihood covers this MeV-scale p-wave secluded scenario: the effects of the thermalized X1-phi sector on N_eff and light elements, the pre-BBN phi decay requirement, and the velocity-suppressed recombination-era annihilation are only rough analytic filters on the card.
proposed resolution: Combine an MeV-DM-capable BBN code (AlterBBN/PRyMordial-type with the X1-phi sector and phi lifetime injection) with the Planck p-wave energy-injection treatment to produce a joint likelihood over (m_1, m_phi, y_phi, theta).
Dark baryon model with scalar mediator Model 2 (arXiv:2111.12712 · score 23)BESIII and LHCb hyperon branching-ratio likelihoods are not packaged and experiment-specific efficiency models are unavailable, so laboratory limits can only be applied as a single quoted 90% CL upper bound rather than a proper likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a packaged likelihood from the published BESIII invisible-hyperon search (BR < 7.4e-5) and LHCb hyperon analyses, including an efficiency model per hyperon species, in a recasting framework so Wilson coefficients map directly to exclusion significance.
SESM general-scalar-potential inelastic scalar dark matter (arXiv:2303.14764 · score 23)No direct-detection likelihood handles the model's inelastic kinematics: XENON1T nuclear-recoil and XENONnT electron-recoil constraints were applied at benchmark level with an effective coupling, and no released likelihood evaluates inelastic Higgs/Z-mediated recoil spectra with a mass splitting Delta m.
proposed resolution: Extend an open direct-detection package (e.g. DDCalc or a wimprates-based pipeline) with inelastic up/down-scattering kinematics and atomic ionization form factors for xenon, and wire in the public XENON1T nuclear-recoil and XENONnT electron-recoil data as a Poisson/profile likelihood over (M_S1, Delta m, eta).
Type-III radiative inert-doublet scalar dark matter (arXiv:2306.14801 · score 23)No digitized limit curves or likelihoods are assembled for the joint fit: the Planck relic band, the LZ spin-independent upper limit, and the XENONnT/Borexino/TEXONO/Super-K neutrino magnetic-moment bounds are only quoted, not packaged as evaluable constraints over the model parameters.
proposed resolution: Use DDCalc for the LZ likelihood, a Gaussian Planck relic band, and digitized published mu_nu exclusion curves from XENONnT/Borexino/TEXONO to build a joint likelihood over (M_R1, splittings, quartics, Yukawas, M_Sigma), including relic-fraction rescaling of the direct-detection bound.
Z3 scotogenic neutrinophilic scalar dark matter (arXiv:2307.15760 · score 23)The BBN/CMB excess-radiation bound is only quoted from minimal-model literature; no dedicated Delta N_eff calculation or likelihood exists for this model's neutrino-coupled thermal history with the extended-scenario cancellations the paper invokes.
proposed resolution: Compute the model-specific neutrino-sector heating with a nudec_BSM-style decoupling code including S1, S2, and N, and interface the resulting Delta N_eff to Planck and BBN (AlterBBN/PRyMordial) likelihoods.
Low-reheat stable massive neutrino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0005123 · score 23)No public likelihood implements the modern BBN/CMB lower bound on T_RH (about 4.1-4.7 MeV in the cited Planck-era analysis); con_neutrino_low_reheat_floor has likelihood_available: partial and recasting_needed: yes, so the historical near-1-MeV window cannot be statistically tested.
proposed resolution: Recast the published low-reheat neutrino-thermalization plus BBN/Planck analysis (arXiv:1511.00672-style) into a reusable T_RH likelihood module combining N_eff and light-element data, shared across the low-reheat model family.
Locally scale-invariant vector-field cold dark matter (arXiv:0810.4421 · score 22)The only quantitative constraint, M_S < 400 eV or M_S > M_Pl, is quoted from prior literature with no likelihood (likelihood_available: no for both card constraints); no CMB or LSS likelihood pipeline can currently be run for this model, so the disfavored intermediate-mass window cannot be rederived or updated with modern data.
proposed resolution: Once the perturbation module of gap_1 exists, wire it into a standard cosmological sampler (Cobaya/MontePython with Planck, BAO, and growth likelihoods) to refit the Weyl-vector mass M_S, the coupling f, and phi_0, replacing the quoted background-era bound with a perturbation-level exclusion.
Many-copy Standard Model hidden-baryon dark matter (arXiv:0903.0660 · score 22)No Delta N_eff/BBN likelihood is connected to the hidden-sector radiation density predicted by modulated reheating into N Standard Model copies; the BBN consistency check is currently a qualitative energy-budget argument.
proposed resolution: Map the predicted hidden-sector radiation density to an effective Delta N_eff and evaluate it against a standard BBN/CMB likelihood (e.g. an AlterBBN or PArthENoPE-based Delta N_eff grid plus the Planck N_eff posterior), wiring the reheating branching ratios in as inputs.
Millicharged atomic dark matter with elastic nuclear scattering (arXiv:1201.4858 · score 22)The critical direct-detection observable is compared only to Xenon100-era published limits via an effective proton cross section; no detector-response module or modern recoil-spectrum likelihood exists for the screened atomic form-factor scattering, so present-day exclusions on epsilon cannot be stated.
proposed resolution: Implement the momentum-dependent screened form factor as a nonstandard interaction in a direct-detection recast framework (DDCalc or an NREFT-based likelihood pipeline) and evaluate current LZ/XENONnT likelihoods, validating against the paper's epsilon contours at alpha_prime = x_e = 0.1.

proposed resolution: Feed the metastable S abundance, lifetime, and electromagnetic injection spectrum into ACROPOLIS for BBN and ExoCLASS/DarkAges for recombination-era CMB constraints, and add the s-wave annihilation p_ann limit from the Planck likelihood.
Light-dark-Higgs pseudo-Dirac sub-GeV dark matter (arXiv:1710.08430 · score 22)No CMB/BBN energy-injection likelihood exists for the long-lived dark Higgs (tau_S of order 1 s or longer, decaying to e+e-) combined with recombination-era s-wave annihilation of the pseudo-Dirac pair; the card's filter step is only a qualitative flag.
proposed resolution: Compute the metastable S abundance and electromagnetic injection and evaluate it with ACROPOLIS (BBN) and ExoCLASS/DarkAges plus the Planck p_ann bound (CMB), noting that pseudo-Dirac coannihilation suppresses the recombination-era s-wave rate.
Leptophilic light flavon hot-relic model (arXiv:1812.10963 · score 22)No reusable BBN/CMB electromagnetic energy-injection likelihood is bundled for the decaying pseudo-Goldstone flavon: the allowed regions in (m_eta, tau_eta, Omega_eta h^2) are read off published plots, not computed from a likelihood over the two-photon injection history.
proposed resolution: Interface the eta abundance and lifetime with an energy-deposition code (e.g. exoCLASS/DarkAges or Kawasaki-Kohri-Moroi-style BBN injection tables) to build a likelihood over the (m_eta, tau_eta, Omega_eta,0 h^2) grid covering BBN through recombination photon injection.
Dark baryon model with vector mediator Model 3 (arXiv:2111.12712 · score 22)BESIII and LHCb hyperon branching-ratio likelihoods are not packaged and experiment-specific efficiency models are unavailable, so laboratory limits can only be applied as a single quoted 90% CL upper bound rather than a proper likelihood.
proposed resolution: Build a packaged likelihood from the published BESIII invisible-hyperon search (BR < 7.4e-5) and LHCb hyperon analyses, including an efficiency model per hyperon species, in a recasting framework so Wilson coefficients map directly to exclusion significance.
Dark-dimension dark graviton dark matter (arXiv:2209.09249 · score 22)No likelihood recasts CMB/BBN energy-injection and N_eff constraints onto a decaying multi-component graviton tower whose mass distribution evolves in time; existing decay constraints assume a single decaying species with fixed mass and lifetime.

Nonthermal decay-produced dark matter for the Hubble tension (arXiv:2211.14345 · score 22)No BBN/CMB energy-injection likelihood exists for the viable lifetime band: constraints on visible energy release at tau ~ 10^2-10^4 s were cited from generic late-decay studies but never recomputed for this model's branching fractions and abundance, so con_decay_bbn_cmb is a recast target without a likelihood.
proposed resolution: Run ACROPOLIS or AlterBBN for electromagnetic/hadronic injection and an ExoCLASS-style CMB energy-injection calculation over a (tau, f m_chi_prime/m_chi, visible branching) grid, and package the resulting light-element and CMB exclusion contours as a reusable likelihood.
Split-neutrino right-handed sneutrino inflaton dark matter (arXiv:1201.6189 · score 21)The CMB constraint on the flat-direction inflaton uses only the amplitude and tilt normalization quoted in the 2012 primary paper; no Planck-era likelihood evaluation of (h, m_phi, A) exists (likelihood_available: no for cmb_flat_direction_inflation_target).
proposed resolution: Encode the NH_uL flat-direction potential in a slow-roll inflation pipeline (e.g. an ASPIC-style module) and confront the predicted (A_s, n_s, r) with the Planck 2018 likelihood to map the allowed (h, m_phi, A) region.
Symmetric light-mediator self-interacting dark matter benchmark (arXiv:1308.0618 · score 21)No public direct-detection likelihood implements the light-mediator recoil spectrum with the momentum-transfer form factor F(q) for an MeV-scale mediator; standard contact-operator WIMP limits cannot be applied to this benchmark, and the paper provides only illustrative projected contours.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc or the public LZ/XENONnT likelihoods) with the mediator propagator form factor (q^2 + m_phi^2)^-2 in the recoil spectrum, parameterized by (m_chi, m_phi, epsilon_eff), and validate against the paper's projected contours.
Thermally produced dark pair plasma of vectorlike fermions (arXiv:1504.04371 · score 21)No cluster-merger morphology likelihood exists (the card lists both the merger-morphology and mixed-DM CMB likelihoods as unavailable), so simulated dark-clump offsets cannot be statistically compared to weak-lensing and X-ray data for Abell 520/3827 and the Bullet Cluster.
proposed resolution: Build a summary-statistic likelihood on lensing-peak/X-ray-peak/galaxy-centroid offsets from published Abell 520, Abell 3827, and Bullet Cluster reconstructions, with simulation-based forward modeling of the offset distribution over cluster initial-condition systematics.
Type-I seesaw Majoron warm dark matter completion (arXiv:1903.03631 · score 21)The CMB lifetime bound tau_J > 50-160 Gyr is only quoted from a pre-Planck analysis under a thermal-Majoron abundance mapping; no current-data likelihood exists to re-derive the bound for this completion's actual abundance, mass, and distribution (likelihood_available: partial).
proposed resolution: Run the gap_2 solver against Planck 2018 TTTEEE+lensing likelihoods (via MontePython or Cobaya) scanning (m_J, tau_J, abundance) to produce an updated, reusable lifetime-abundance exclusion surface replacing the quoted 2007-era bound.
SO(10) U(1) Higgs-portal singlet-doublet fermion dark matter (arXiv:1906.06869 · score 21)The complete-model inflation consistency check (s4) has no implemented likelihood: the SO(10) inflaton potential coefficients are compared only to Planck 2018 central values of n_s and A_s rather than evaluated against the Planck inflation posterior jointly with the GUT-threshold and dark-matter parameters.
proposed resolution: Derive the slow-roll predictions (n_s, r, A_s) as functions of the SO(10) potential coefficients and evaluate them against the published Planck 2018 inflation chains (or a Gaussian approximation to the n_s-r posterior), sharing parameters with the GUT-threshold sector.
FIMPzilla scalar dark matter from a conformal sector (arXiv:2306.06161 · score 21)The CMB tensor-to-scalar constraint on H_I (and hence T_R under efficient reheating), the model's principal experimental handle, is applied as an approximate exclusion curve rather than a proper likelihood interface to current r bounds.
proposed resolution: Wrap the published BICEP/Keck+Planck tensor-to-scalar likelihood (e.g. via the released r posterior chains or a cobaya/MontePython interface) as a module mapping (m_phi, d, lambda, Lambda) to the required H_I and returning a likelihood, replacing the approximate curve in the abundance plots.
Scalar-tensor dynamical relaxation of the dark-matter-to-baryon ratio (arXiv:astro-ph/0407646 · score 21)The viability checks are frozen at WMAP-era approximations (10 percent BBN expansion deviation, CMB shift parameter R_0, Cassini beta_b bound) with likelihood_available no; no modern BBN, Planck, LSS, or SN Ia likelihood evaluation exists for the modified expansion and growth histories.
proposed resolution: Couple the gap_1 solver to an AlterBBN-style BBN code with modified H(T), and to Planck CMB, BAO/LSS, and SN Ia likelihoods in a standard sampler (Cobaya/MontePython), replacing the shift-parameter and 10-percent-H rules of thumb.
Deeply bound uuddss sexaquark dark matter (arXiv:2306.03123 · score 20)No likelihoods exist for the model's constraint set: nuclear-stability/deuteron-decay (SNO/Super-K), neutron-star, and DM-baryon scattering (CMB and direct-detection) limits are quoted only as compiled exclusion statements with likelihood_available no.
proposed resolution: Assemble a composite likelihood over (m_S, lambda, sigma_Sb): recast published Super-K/SNO nucleon- and deuteron-decay lifetime limits into the S decay/conversion rates, and reuse the public Planck DM-baryon scattering likelihood machinery for sigma_Sb.
Extremal Kerr black hole dark matter from Hawking evaporation (arXiv:2403.04054 · score 20)No recast tool or likelihood exists for direct detection of neutral Planck-mass extremal Kerr relics: the flux estimate reuses charged-relic detector assumptions that the card itself flags as inapplicable, and no detector-response model or track-search likelihood covers gravitational-only macroscopic relics.
proposed resolution: Derive an event-rate model for Planck-mass relics from the local flux (rho_DM/M_EKBH times v_DM) with the relic's actual geometric/gravitational cross section, and wrap it as an exposure-based likelihood for large-area track detectors and paleo-detector searches, separating charged-analogue and neutral cases.
pMSSM gravitino LSP model set (arXiv:1206.4321 · score 20)The BBN/CMB/diffuse-background late-decay constraint is applied via approximate digitized hadronic and electromagnetic injection curves with approximate decay-product mapping (notably for colored NLSP hadronization and neutrino limits), not a public likelihood in (tau_NLSP, abundance, branching fractions).
proposed resolution: Build a public likelihood interpolating modern BBN injection bounds (Kawasaki-Kohri-Moroi-type curves, or ACROPOLIS extended to hadronic injection and long lifetimes) over NLSP lifetime, yield, and hadronic/electromagnetic branching fractions, including a colored-NLSP hadronization treatment.
Three-scalar inelastic scalar dark matter model for muon g-2 and XENON1T (arXiv:2007.08205 · score 20)No machine-readable likelihoods exist for the route's statistical step: the XENON1T electron-recoil excess fit, the muon g-2 Gaussian target, and the Planck p_ann energy-injection bound with model-specific visible branching fraction are all unimplemented.
proposed resolution: Reconstruct a binned XENON1T ER likelihood from the published data release and background model, add a Gaussian Delta a_mu term with the current world average, and map annihilation channels through published deposition efficiencies f_eff to the Planck p_ann limit in one joint likelihood module.
R-parity-conserving minimal SUSY U(1)_X gaugino-singlet neutralino dark matter (arXiv:2307.16480 · score 20)The BBN effective-radiation bound on right-handed-neutrino decoupling is applied only as a quoted threshold; no Delta N_eff likelihood connecting v_X, g_X, and the Z-prime-mediated decoupling temperature to BBN/CMB data is available.
proposed resolution: Solve the Z-prime-mediated right-handed-neutrino decoupling rate versus Hubble to get Delta N_eff(v_X, g_X) on a grid and attach it to standard BBN (PArthENoPE/PRyMordial) and Planck N_eff likelihoods.
Neutrinophilic local U(1) singlet-fermion dark matter (arXiv:1212.5709 · score 20)The direct-detection viability check uses only the source-era WMAP band and XENON100 limit; no likelihood against current LZ/XENONnT spin-independent limits and the Planck relic band has been implemented for this model's (m_psi, mixing) parameter space.
proposed resolution: Couple the gap_1 model output to a modern direct-detection likelihood (e.g. DDCalc with LZ/XENONnT data) and the Planck Omega h^2 measurement, replacing the WMAP/XENON100 curves logged from the source.
Asymmetrically reheated Twin Higgs Portal scalar dark matter (arXiv:2101.11019 · score 20)No likelihood is wired up for any of the model's constraints (all three carry likelihood_available: no): the diluted sigma_SI is not connected to detector likelihoods, and the Delta N_eff target is not connected to Planck or CMB-S4 forecast likelihoods.
proposed resolution: Couple the model's sigma_SI(m_S, lambda_HS/D) output to DDCalc (LZ/XENONnT/DARWIN projections including the neutrino floor) and its Delta N_eff output to the Planck N_eff posterior and a CMB-S4 Fisher forecast within a MontePython/Cobaya scan.
Quantum-gravity-broken Z2 singlet scalar dark matter with domain walls (arXiv:2308.03724 · score 20)No recast pipeline converts the QG-induced S_2 decay (heavy scalar decaying via Higgs mixing to photons, e+e-, and neutrinos) into CMB energy-injection lifetime limits and SKA-band radio synchrotron sensitivity for this model's mass and Lambda_QG range.
proposed resolution: Compute decay spectra for the heavy scalar with HDMSpectra (or PPPC-style tables at lower masses), feed them to DarkHistory/ExoCLASS for a Planck lifetime bound as a function of (m_DM, Lambda_QG), and model Galactic synchrotron from the e+e- channel with an RX-DMFIT-style code for the SKA projection.
Global U(1)_DM-remnant Z3 scalar WIMP (arXiv:1501.01973 · score 19)No public likelihood exists for the combined constraint set: the direct-detection bound is the historical LUX curve (likelihood_available: no) and the relic/Higgs/N_eff combination is a qualitative multi-observable cut, so allowed regions cannot be re-derived against current data.
proposed resolution: Build a recast pipeline using DDCalc or the published LZ/XENONnT efficiency curves for sigma_XN, Higgs signal-strength and invisible-width likelihoods (e.g. Lilith/HiggsSignals), and the Planck N_eff posterior for the Goldstone dark-radiation contribution.
Inflaton dark matter from incomplete decay (arXiv:1501.05539 · score 19)No CMB likelihood evaluation is connected to the model's inflationary sector: the card only makes a qualitative Planck/BICEP-era statement that quartic inflation is excluded while nonminimal/warm variants can fit n_s ~ 0.96-0.97, without a numerical exclusion for a specified potential.
proposed resolution: Fix the nonminimally coupled inflationary completion, compute slow-roll (n_s, r, alpha_s) over the model parameter space, and evaluate the public Planck 2018 plus BICEP/Keck likelihood on those predictions (e.g. via Cobaya/MontePython).
Leptophobic Zp Majorana dark matter simplified model (arXiv:1605.07940 · score 19)No combined global likelihood exists for the exact leptophobic Majorana axial-coupling benchmark: existing global fits cover related spin-one mediator variants, and the width-dependent (Gamma/m up to 0.3) dijet limits plus monojet and direct-detection channels have not been assembled into one reusable likelihood for this coupling structure.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing global-fit framework (GAMBIT ColliderBit/DarkBit or a MasterCode-style pipeline) with the Majorana axial Z' model: implement width- and BR(Zp->chichi)-dependent ATLAS/CMS dijet likelihoods, a monojet recast, the Planck relic target, and the (suppressed) axial direct-detection channel, validating against the paper's benchmark exclusion curves.
PBH-remnant dark matter from matter-era mini-PBH production (arXiv:1905.01741 · score 19)No integrated likelihood module exists that jointly evaluates the Planck 2018 inflationary constraints (n_s, alpha_s, P_R normalization), pre-BBN evaporation and photon-background consistency, and the remnant Omega_rem = Omega_DM condition for a given attractor potential (route step s4 lists both likelihoods as unavailable).
proposed resolution: Assemble a constraint pipeline that wraps the public Planck 2018 likelihood (or its n_s-alpha_s Gaussian summary) together with the analytic evaporation-before-BBN condition and the remnant-abundance target, exposing the inflaton-potential parameters, beta, M, and M_rem as inputs.
Two-state unified superfluid dark sector (arXiv:1911.07371 · score 19)No likelihood pipeline connects the model's predictions to data: neither a SPARC/RAR rotation-curve likelihood for the phonon force parameters nor a background+growth likelihood (CMB/BAO/SNe distances plus f*sigma8) over (Delta E, M, Lambda_1, Lambda_2, state populations) has been assembled.
proposed resolution: Once gaps 1-2 provide forward models, wrap them in a Cobaya/MontePython sampler combining public Planck/BAO/SNe and f*sigma8 likelihoods with a SPARC rotation-curve chi-square, sampling the EFT parameters and initial state populations.
Dimension-six extended-inverse-seesaw Majoron dark matter (arXiv:2304.02399 · score 19)No model-specific late-decay likelihood exists: the two-loop J -> gamma gamma rate was not computed for this operator structure and the X-ray/CMB lifetime bounds were not rerun as functions of (m_J, tau_J, branching fractions).
proposed resolution: Derive the loop-induced photon and tree-level neutrino decay widths in the dimension-six model, then recast published X-ray line searches and CMB decaying-dark-matter bounds (e.g. via an exoCLASS-type injection treatment) into a lifetime likelihood over the m_J range.
Axion-like dark matter coupled to ADR sterile neutrinos (arXiv:2307.12118 · score 19)No combined likelihood exists that joins short-baseline appearance data, long-baseline/atmospheric disappearance nulls, and BBN/N_eff constraints for a sterile neutrino whose effective mixing is modified by ADR and a time-varying condensate-induced mass, so the claimed reopened parameter patches cannot be statistically tested.
proposed resolution: Extend a GLoBES-based or existing 3+1 global-fit framework to accept environment-dependent effective (Delta m^2, theta_es) from the ADR and condensate terms, and combine with a BBN helium-plus-N_eff likelihood module over the shared parameters (epsilon, m_phi, phi_0, Delta m^2, theta_es).
Three degenerate light mixed sneutrino dark matter (arXiv:1008.0580 · score 18)The surviving three-degenerate corner is defined against WMAP5-era relic, LEP, and pre-2010 direct-detection data; no modern likelihood recast (Planck relic band, current low-threshold direct detection, current chargino/slepton limits) has been applied to test whether the corner survives at all.
proposed resolution: Rerun the combined scan with the rebuilt model files against Planck Omega h^2, DDCalc-based recasts of current low-mass direct-detection experiments (CRESST-III, DarkSide-50, SuperCDMS), and current LHC electroweakino/slepton search limits on the 150-480 GeV slepton and near-LEP-limit chargino spectrum.
Near-threshold feeton B-L gauge boson dark matter (arXiv:2310.05420 · score 18)No likelihood is available for any of the model's probes: the card lists likelihood_available as unknown and no INTEGRAL/SPI 511-keV likelihood, decaying-dark-matter neutrino-flux likelihood, or CMB B-mode (H_inf) likelihood is packaged for the feeton parameter space (m_f, g_{B-L}).
proposed resolution: Package a Gaussian likelihood on the SPI 511-keV bulge flux, recast existing Borexino/KamLAND low-energy neutrino-flux limits onto the feeton decay rate, and add the Planck/BICEP r-limit as a bound on H_inf via the quoted Omega_V(m_f, H_inf) production relation.
U(1)_X millicharged dark fermion freeze-in model (arXiv:2312.03837 · score 18)The card carries only a placeholder limitation record instead of real constraints: no likelihoods or recasts are attached for the millicharge bounds the card says constrain delta (e.g. direct detection, CMB DM-baryon scattering, stellar cooling, accelerator millicharge searches), because related-paper enrichment was not completed.
proposed resolution: Rerun the enrichment pipeline on paper 2312_03837 to attach the actual millicharge constraint set, then map published millicharge exclusion curves onto the (m_chi, effective charge) plane as reusable likelihood or exclusion-region records.
Tunneling-stabilized self-destructing bound-state dark matter (arXiv:1712.00455 · score 18)No likelihood exists for SDDM visible-energy decay topologies in large neutrino detectors; detector-specific efficiencies, exposures, and backgrounds for Super-K, Borexino, SNO+, and DUNE are absent, so limits in the rate-per-volume versus m_V/daughter-mass plane cannot be set.
proposed resolution: Recast Super-K boosted-dark-matter and multi-lepton searches into an SDDM event-rate-per-volume likelihood with explicit detector geometry/exposure models, published reconstruction efficiencies, and atmospheric-neutrino backgrounds, released as a reusable module extensible to SNO+ and DUNE.
Logarithmic-potential self-interacting boson-star dark matter (arXiv:1906.02094 · score 18)No FRB-lensing likelihood exists that turns a compact boson-star mass function and fraction f_DM into constraints or forecasts from observed FRB catalogs; the route's optical-depth calculation is a forecast mapping with no statistical pipeline over current CHIME/ASKAP samples.
proposed resolution: Build an FRB millisecond-lensing likelihood module: point-lens optical depth over the observed FRB redshift distribution with instrumental time-resolution selection effects, taking (M_L, f_DM) grids as input and validated against published FRB compact-object constraints.
Light two-Higgs-doublet fermion dark matter (arXiv:2209.14882 · score 18)No CMB energy-injection recast exists for this model's p-wave (velocity-suppressed) sub-GeV annihilation into muons through the light scalar; the constraint card cites CMB limits only qualitatively with likelihood_available: no.
proposed resolution: Compute the late-time velocity-weighted annihilation rate including the resonance and feed the muon final-state injection spectra through ExoCLASS or DarkHistory to derive Planck exclusion contours in (m_DM, m_H, Y_chi, Y_l).
axino LSP superWIMP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0701011 · score 18)No packaged likelihood exists for late NLSP decays in the (tau_NLSP, energy release, branching fraction, n_X/s) space: BBN electromagnetic/hadronic injection limits, catalyzed-BBN bounds for charged sleptons, and CMB spectral-distortion limits are all available only as published exclusion curves needing recast.
proposed resolution: Build a likelihood module on top of a public injection code (ACROPOLIS/AlterBBN-style) covering EM and hadronic cascades, add the CBBN bound-state catalysis rates for charged parents, and include COBE/FIRAS mu- and y-distortion limits, exposing tau_NLSP, branching fractions, and n_X/s as inputs.
gravitino LSP superWIMP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0701011 · score 18)No packaged likelihood maps NLSP lifetime, abundance, and electromagnetic/hadronic branching fractions onto BBN light-element and CMB spectral-distortion constraints for this scenario, including catalyzed BBN from charged slepton bound states; the card supplies only qualitative allowed/excluded statements (likelihood_available: partial, recasting_needed: yes).
proposed resolution: Build a (tau_NLSP, n_X/s, B_EM, B_had) likelihood by interfacing NLSP decay spectra with an energy-injection BBN code (extend ACROPOLIS/AlterBBN to include the CBBN bound-state reaction network for charged relics) and add a Green's-function mu/y spectral-distortion calculator against COBE/FIRAS limits.
Asymmetric light-mediator self-interacting dark matter benchmark (arXiv:1308.0618 · score 18)No public direct-detection likelihood implements the light-mediator recoil spectrum with the momentum-transfer form factor F(q) for an MeV-scale mediator; standard contact-operator WIMP limits cannot be applied to this benchmark, and the paper provides only illustrative projected contours.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing direct-detection likelihood package (e.g. DDCalc or the public LZ/XENONnT likelihoods) with the mediator propagator form factor (q^2 + m_phi^2)^-2 in the recoil spectrum, parameterized by (m_chi, m_phi, epsilon_eff), and validate against the paper's projected contours.
Planck-mass black-hole remnant dark matter from evaporation (arXiv:1905.01301 · score 17)The route lists a CMB/BAO Delta N_eff likelihood as required but none is wired in: the dark-radiation companion signal, the only practically observable handle on this scenario (the remnants themselves are gravitational-only), can currently be compared to data only through the quoted 0.03-0.2 target range rather than through current Planck-era and Stage-IV projected likelihoods (constraint records likelihood_available: partial).
proposed resolution: Connect the Delta N_eff output to an existing public CMB+BAO likelihood pipeline (Planck-based N_eff posterior plus a Stage-IV CMB Fisher/mock likelihood) so the (M_i, f_i, hidden light degrees of freedom) space can be scored directly, including the pre-BBN evaporation consistency cut as a hard prior.
Subdominant decaying particle X direct-collapse dark-sector model (arXiv:2404.03909 · score 15)No implemented energy-injection likelihood exists for X's photon injection: the COBE/FIRAS f_X ~ 1e-2 bound and the above-threshold CMB anisotropy constraints are used only as summary numbers, without deposition-efficiency modeling for X's decay spectra and tau_X ~ 1e15 s lifetimes.
proposed resolution: Implement X's two- and three-body photon spectra in DarkHistory (or an ExoCLASS DarkAges module) to compute deposition efficiencies, couple to the Planck anisotropy likelihood and a FIRAS mu/y distortion calculation, and release the resulting (f_X, m_X, tau_X) constraint surface.
Low-reheat WIMP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0005123 · score 7)No public likelihood implements the modern BBN/CMB lower bound on T_RH (about 4.1-4.7 MeV from the Planck-era analysis cited in the card); con_wimp_low_reheat_floor has likelihood_available: partial and recasting_needed: yes, so historical near-1-MeV benchmarks cannot be statistically tested.
proposed resolution: Recast the published low-reheat neutrino-thermalization plus BBN/Planck analysis (arXiv:1511.00672-style) into a reusable T_RH likelihood module combining N_eff and light-element data, applicable to any low-reheat dark-matter card.

Non-Self-Conjugate ultra-light scalar dark matter with neutrino mediator (arXiv:1012.2476 · score 34)No propagation code exists that goes beyond the homogeneous exponential attenuation: redshift evolution of the ultralight-scalar number density n_DM(z), energy redshifting of UHE neutrinos, and a realistic source-distance distribution are not implemented anywhere per the card.
proposed resolution: Write a one-dimensional optical-depth integrator over redshift using the analytic u-channel cross section, n_DM(z) = rho_DM(z)/m_phi (rescaled by the scalar fraction f_phi), and AGN/GRB source-evolution functions, validated against the paper's exponential curves in the local limit.

Heavy dark-photon portal Dirac-fermion freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1911.03389 · score 34)No public stellar energy-loss calculator computes chi pair emission from RG/HB stellar plasmas through the heavy dark-photon portal (plasmon decay and electron bremsstrahlung with in-medium photon dispersion), which is the dominant low-mass constraint for this model.
proposed resolution: Build a reusable stellar-cooling module that folds the portal production rates with standard MESA RG/HB profiles and applies the standard dark-luminosity criteria, calibrated to reproduce the rel_1908_00553 keV-scale exclusions for benchmark m_Aprime = 3 m_DM and alpha_D choices.
Heavy dark-photon portal complex-scalar freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1911.03389 · score 34)No public stellar energy-loss calculator computes complex-scalar pair emission from RG/HB stellar plasmas through the heavy dark-photon portal (plasmon decay and electron bremsstrahlung with in-medium photon dispersion), which is the dominant low-mass constraint for this model.
proposed resolution: Build a reusable stellar-cooling module that folds the portal production rates (with scalar final-state phase space) into standard MESA RG/HB profiles and applies standard dark-luminosity criteria, calibrated to reproduce the rel_1908_00553 keV-scale exclusions for benchmark m_Aprime = 3 m_DM and alpha_D choices.
Axion Quark Nugget dark matter with magnetar-triggered FRB scenario (arXiv:1806.02352 · score 33)The solar EUV/soft-X-ray test relies on quoted energy-budget coincidences (L_corona ~ 1e27 erg/s); there is no quantitative emission code for anti-nugget annihilation in coronal plasma producing spectra that could be fit to quiet-Sun data.
proposed resolution: Develop a model of anti-nugget annihilation emission in the solar corona (annihilation depth, spectral shape, nanoflare statistics) as a function of B and rho_DM, and compare it statistically to SDO/AIA and soft-X-ray quiet-Sun observations rather than to the integrated power alone.
Minimal PQ-NMSSM light singlino LSP dark matter (arXiv:1208.2555 · score 32)The minimal PQ-NMSSM singlet sector (tadpole/mass terms from PQ breaking instead of the Z3 kappa S^3 term) is implemented only in a private modification of NMSSMTools 3.1.0; the spectrum, mixings, and benchmark contours cannot be reproduced with public code.
proposed resolution: Implement the PQ-NMSSM superpotential (lambda S H_u H_d + mu_S^2 S, no singlet self-couplings) in a public spectrum chain — either the general-NMSSM mode of NMSSMTools or SARAH-generated SPheno — and validate against the paper's benchmark invisible-width and sigma_SI contours.
Earth-shielded plasma dark matter (arXiv:1806.04293 · score 32)No public code computes the Earth-shielded velocity distribution: the collisional cutoff v_c and the annual/diurnal time dependence of the shielding factor from dark-electron Coulomb scattering on an Earth-bound dark-ion (mirror-helium) profile are handled only by the paper's private semi-analytic estimate.
proposed resolution: Write a transport/Monte Carlo solver that propagates halo mirror electrons through a parameterized Earth-bound density profile n_He_prime(r) with dark-Coulomb (Rutherford) cross sections, outputting the detector-frame shielded distribution and its sidereal/annual time dependence; validate against the benchmark v_c near 30000 km/s for surface densities of 1e12-1e13 cm^-3.
Astrophysical Q-ball dark matter (arXiv:2302.11590 · score 32)No numerical boundary-value solver for Q-ball field profiles beyond the thin-wall limit, needed to obtain mass density, M_Q, and R_Q from the scalar potential and to apply the stability filter.

Optically thin mirror-star nugget emission model (arXiv:2311.18086 · score 32)The radiative-transfer treatment covers only optically thin nuggets; the optically thick part of the (M_nugget, Gamma_heat) scan is explicitly deferred by the paper, so signal predictions are unavailable in that regime.
proposed resolution: Extend the published Cloudy-based pipeline with a stellar-atmosphere-style optically thick radiative-transfer solution for high-mass nuggets, matching onto the optically thin results at the regime boundary of the existing scan.
Extra-dimensional sterile neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1407.2739 · score 32)No public beta-decay recast tool covers this model's regime: evaluating the KATRIN/TRISTAN kink signature requires an experiment-specific response model (resolution, molecular final states, backgrounds) plus summation of multiple kink contributions from the dense KK tower, none of which is available per the card.
proposed resolution: Implement a KK-tower-summed sterile admixture spectrum in a public KATRIN/TRISTAN-like beta-spectrum response code, taking the mixing matrix from step_kk_spectrum and returning kink amplitudes/positions with a sensitivity likelihood for con_beta_decay_sensitivity.
Exothermic Yukawa-potential interacting dark matter (arXiv:1011.6374 · score 32)No public cross-section calculator handles inelastic Yukawa scattering between split dark states (up- and down-scattering with splitting delta), including the quantum coupled-channel and resonant regimes where the classical analytic fit used by the paper breaks down.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing partial-wave Yukawa sigma_T(v) solver to a two-state coupled-channel Schroedinger calculation parameterized by (m_chi, m_phi, alpha_d, delta), releasing tabulated elastic and inelastic transfer cross sections that reduce to the YIDM elastic result as delta goes to 0.

Scalar dark matter from linear non-minimally coupled inflaton decay (arXiv:2310.06039 · score 32)The LanHEP/CalcHEP model files and the beta-scan scripts behind the allowed beta-m_DM region are not public, so the paper's numerical allowed intervals for the scalar case (m_DM ~ 5.3e-6 GeV x beta^(5/4)) can only be reproduced by re-deriving the scaling relations by hand.

Kinetic-misalignment majoron dark matter in gauged U(1)Lmu-Ltau (arXiv:2404.10283 · score 32)No numerical solver or parameter scanner exists for the rotating B-L scalar condensate history: the trapping temperature, the persistence of rotation through the leptogenesis epoch, and the transition to coherent majoron oscillation are handled only by the paper's analytic n=6 benchmark, yet the route requires a 'parameter scanner for rotating scalar history'.

Mirror-star-forming mirror baryon dark matter (arXiv:1909.04071 · score 32)No public mirror-star stellar-structure code exists; the benchmark profiles rely on private adaptations of SM stellar modeling, so radius and core temperature cannot be scanned over mirror-sector parameters (mirror Higgs vev, mirror electron mass).

Low-reheat Standard Model neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0012317 · score 31)No public kinetic-equation solver reproduces active-neutrino production during MeV-scale reheating (weak collision integrals plus entropy injection from the decaying field); the paper's f_nu(p,t) code is private, so users must rely on the published abundance fits and effective-temperature parameterization rather than recomputing spectra at arbitrary T_RH.

proposed resolution: Implement the U(1)'-extended strict-AMSB boundary conditions (anomaly-mediated soft terms plus U(1)' D-term shifts for given charge assignments) as a model file in SARAH/SPheno or a SoftSUSY extension, validating against the paper's m_LSP about 3.3e-3 m_3/2 relation and Higgs-mass discussion.
A4 discrete dark matter scalar WIMP model (arXiv:2301.10811 · score 30)No scan pipeline implements the combined flavor and scalar-sector filter for this model: fitting the A4 Yukawa parameters to neutrino oscillation data and charged-lepton masses while imposing the Higgs mass, boundedness, perturbativity, and the >300 GeV non-DM scalar cuts must be built before viable DM parameter points can be certified.

Framed Standard Model hidden-sector dark matter candidates (arXiv:1806.08268 · score 29)No numerical implementation of the Framed Standard Model framon action, RG running, and Z-G/Higgs mixing exists, so the hidden-sector spectrum (17 MeV, sub-8 MeV, and TeV states) and mixing elements cannot be computed reproducibly from zeta_S and the RGE inputs.

Speed-breaker inflationary primordial black hole dark matter (arXiv:1911.00057 · score 28)No public implementation of the speed-breaker (base-plus-localized-bump/dip) potentials exists in a Mukhanov-Sasaki solver, so the exact curvature power spectrum — which cannot be computed in slow-roll because the feature violates it locally — cannot be reproduced or scanned over feature height, width, and location.

Twin waterfall scalar preheating dark matter (arXiv:2304.08686 · score 27)No public solver reproduces the preheating particle production of the stable waterfall scalar chi_2 during the tachyonic waterfall transition, which is the sole production channel (chi_1 decays to chi_2 pairs are kinematically blocked); the relic line over H_I ~ 2e8-1e10 GeV and lambda_H ~ 0.1-1e-7 rests on the source's un-released mode-equation calculation whose backreaction treatment the card flags as changing the result.
proposed resolution: Build an open mode-function solver for the twin-waterfall transition (Bogoliubov evolution of chi_2 modes in the time-dependent chi_1 background, cross-checked with a CosmoLattice-style lattice run including backreaction), validated against the source waterfall-DM relic line with m_X = 1.2 m_1 and m_1 = 100 H_I, then chain it to the analytic reheating dilution step.

Secluded dark matter coupled to a hidden CFT (arXiv:1203.6646 · score 22)The saturated Sommerfeld boost factor from a tower of hidden mediators (masses m_n, couplings alpha_n) has no numerical implementation; only single-mediator approximations plus analytic tower arguments exist, limiting the reliability of the low-velocity annihilation prediction.

proposed resolution: Implement and release a numerical solver for two-form mode growth under I(phi)^2 H^2 coupling with the sourced curvature and tensor convolution integrals (extending an existing inflationary perturbation code or SIGWfast-style induced-GW framework), validated by recovering the A about 3.2e-4, f_PBH=1 benchmark and the paper's Omega_GW peaks.
Solo-bumpy inflation primordial black hole dark matter (arXiv:2106.04303 · score 22)PBHbounds constraints are compiled for monochromatic mass functions, and although the single-bump mass function is peaked, the finite-width f_PBH(M) still requires an extended-mass-function recast that is not wired into the route.
proposed resolution: Extend the PBHbounds pipeline with the standard Carr-et-al extended-mass-function method, integrating the predicted f_PBH(M) against each digitized monochromatic constraint curve to produce combined exclusions.
High-scale-inflation Q-ball dark matter and baryogenesis scenario (arXiv:1408.1176 · score 21)No public Q-ball property calculator exists for this scenario: the mass-charge relations M(Q) and R(Q) for gauge-mediation and new-type Q balls, stability against nucleon decay, evaporation/decay temperatures, and fragmentation charge estimates are scattered analytic formulae with no reusable implementation, which the card itself lists as a required code resource.
proposed resolution: Implement the gauge-mediated and new-type Q-ball M(Q), R(Q), stability, decay-temperature, and fragmentation-charge formulae (with lattice-calibrated fragmentation coefficients from the literature) as a small public module parameterized by (M_F, m_3/2, lambda_G, lambda_N, T_RH), validated against the paper's Q_N ~ 1e23-1e31 and m_3/2 window.

proposed resolution: Implement the two-loop SM RGEs extended with the quintet and seesaw contributions (generated with PyR@TE or SARAH), match to the RG-improved effective potential in the Einstein frame, and compute slow-roll n_s and r with the reheating-consistent e-fold count, validating against the paper's benchmark values.
Nonthermal sterile neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0511630 · score 21)No X-ray decay-line flux pipeline (decay rate, target D-factors, instrument response) is attached to the card, so the mass-mixing X-ray exclusion can only be transcribed from literature curves rather than re-evaluated for arbitrary (m_s, sin^2 2theta, Omega_s).
proposed resolution: Implement the required 'X-ray decay-flux calculator': radiative decay rate as a function of m_s and mixing, folded with published diffuse-background and M31/cluster D-factors and flux limits, packaged so the exclusion curve can be regenerated for any production scenario.
Bosonic superheavy X-particle from vacuum fluctuations (arXiv:hep-ph/9809547 · score 21)No public solver computes gravitational particle production for this bosonic X field: the Bogolyubov mode-equation integration for a minimally or conformally coupled scalar (xi=0 or 1/6) through chaotic inflation and the transition to the Friedmann stage, with smooth matching to avoid the artificial-particle problem the paper warns about at large m_X.

Nonthermal wino dark matter in UV-insensitive anomaly-mediated NMSSM extension (arXiv:hep-ph/0412200 · score 21)No public spectrum generator implements the UV-insensitive anomaly-mediated NMSSM with vector-like D and L fields, so the wino-LSP region, EWSB viability, and charged-neutral splitting rest on the paper's analytic scan rather than a reproducible numerical spectrum.
proposed resolution: Implement the superpotential and AMSB soft terms of the vector-like NMSSM extension in SARAH and generate a SPheno spectrum module, validating against the paper's viable-EWSB and wino-LSP contours.
Deflected anomaly-mediated bino neutralino dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0509128 · score 21)Deflected-AMSB boundary conditions (F_phi, A_X, deflection parameter d, N_f messenger thresholds) are not implemented in any current public spectrum generator; the original scan relied on ISAJET/ISASUGRA-era running that cannot be pinned or reproduced as-is.
proposed resolution: Implement the deflected-AMSB high-scale soft terms with messenger-threshold corrections as a model file in SoftSUSY or SPheno (both accept general non-universal boundary conditions), validate against the paper's WMAP contour regions, and pin versions.

proposed resolution: Extend an existing public halo-model code (e.g. halomod/pyHMcode or HMcode) with the paper's WDM mass-function, concentration, and subhalo calibrations, parameterized by the filtering mass M_f, and validate against the paper's 0.5-10 keV examples.
Superheavy scalar dark matter from R^2 inflation (arXiv:1201.3539 · score 20)No mode-function/Bogoliubov solver exists for gravitational particle production of a scalar with a scalaron-dependent effective mass at the end of R^2 inflation, so the occupation number, number density, and velocity dispersion of the superheavy relic cannot be computed beyond the paper's analytic estimate.
proposed resolution: Implement a numerical mode-equation solver on the Starobinsky R^2 background (evolve the scalaron and scale factor, solve the scalar mode functions through the nonadiabatic mass transition, extract Bogoliubov beta_k), following the standard gravitational-production framework of Chung-Kolb-Riotto/Ema et al., and validate against the paper's 1e16 GeV viable-abundance benchmark.
Type-III seesaw plus darkon Higgs-portal dark matter (arXiv:1202.5717 · score 20)No public code implements the coupled RG evolution of the SM plus Type-III seesaw triplets plus darkon singlet, including the positive lambda_SH contribution to the Higgs-quartic beta function and the triplet threshold, so the vacuum-stability windows must be re-derived from the paper's formulas.
proposed resolution: Generate two-loop RGEs for the SM+Type-III-seesaw+singlet field content with PyR@TE or SARAH, include threshold matching at M_Sigma and M_S, and release an integration script validated against the paper's lambda_SH stabilization benchmark (lambda_S=0.1, lambda_SH>=0.031).
Long-lived scalar A neutrino-portal dark matter (arXiv:1412.3459 · score 20)Above M_A of about 8 TeV the card notes three- and four-body decays dominate, but no spectrum generator exists for these multi-body neutrino-portal final states including electroweak showering, so the simple line interpretation breaks down in the heavy-mass regime.

Unitarity-consistent spin-1 s-channel Dirac dark matter model (arXiv:1603.01267 · score 20)No public gauge-invariant UFO model implements the unitarity-safe spin-1 completion (restricted g_u^L = g_d^L couplings, induced WWZ-prime triple gauge vertex, or dark-Higgs mass generation), so mono-W event generation with arbitrary isospin-breaking couplings reproduces the spurious energy-growing amplitudes the paper corrects.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing spin-1 DMsimp-style FeynRules/UFO implementation with the WWZ-prime interaction proportional to g_u^L - g_d^L and an optional dark-Higgs sector, validate that the high-energy mono-W growth cancels, and release the UFO for MadGraph5_aMC@NLO.
Classically scale-invariant SU(2)_DM vector dark matter with leptogenesis (arXiv:1605.06834 · score 20)No quantitative ARS leptogenesis solver is set up for this model; the phi > 2.5 TeV lower bound rests on transferring Akhmedov-Rubakov-Smirnov results rather than solving the sterile-neutrino density-matrix equations for the scale-invariant scalar/Yukawa sector.
proposed resolution: Adapt an existing ARS density-matrix code (kinetic equations for oscillating right-handed neutrinos) to this model's Y_D, Y_M structure and singlet-scalar-dependent M_N, and rederive the BAU-viable region of the hidden vev.
Primordial black hole dark matter from EEFToI dispersion enhancement (arXiv:1912.13326 · score 20)No public mode-function solver handles the EEFToI dispersion relation with a transient negative quartic term stabilized by a sextic term, so the enhanced curvature power spectrum P_R(k) cannot be computed for new coefficient choices; every downstream quantity (mass function, f_PBH, induced GWs) depends on it.
proposed resolution: Write a dedicated numerical integrator for the Mukhanov-Sasaki equation with omega^2(k, tau) including the time-dependent quartic and sextic spatial-derivative terms, with WKB initial conditions and an automatic check of the EFT-subdominance criterion, validated against the paper's benchmark spectra.

proposed resolution: Build the model in SARAH and generate a SPheno module implementing the U(1)_R vector multiplet, Green-Schwarz gaugino-mass terms, and inflatino mixing, then run RGEs to the 10^10-10^12 GeV soft scale to determine the LSP composition and mass for each Kaehler benchmark.
Long-lived radion dark matter in Randall-Sundrum cosmology (arXiv:astro-ph/0408448 · score 20)No solver exists for the post-inflation Randall-Sundrum radion background: evolving R(t) and Omega_R(t) through stabilization with the potential V(R) and brane matter densities, needed to determine the relic fraction and check overclosure/premature matter domination, is currently done only by hand in the primary.
proposed resolution: Write a dedicated ODE integrator for the Einstein-frame scalar-tensor background (radion plus brane radiation/matter with couplings A(R), B(R)), scanning M_R, R_initial, and stabilization epoch, validated against the primary's matter-like scaling and the tau_R ~ 1.2e7 yr (GeV/M_R)^3 lifetime branch.

Classically scale-invariant pseudoscalar WIMPzilla dark matter (arXiv:1512.05890 · score 19)No public implementation of the classically scale-invariant scalar/Agravity sector: RG-improved running of the singlet quartics, Higgs portal, and non-minimal gravitational couplings f0/f2, and the resulting pseudo-Goldstone inflaton trajectory and mass spectrum, exist only in the source paper's private calculation.

Despicable dark relic non-minimally coupled scalar dark matter (arXiv:1808.08236 · score 19)No public solver evolves mode functions of a non-minimally coupled spectator scalar (xi R phi^2) through an oscillating-inflaton reheating background with tachyonic bursts, so the occupation spectrum entering everything downstream can only be reproduced by reimplementing the paper's private numerics.
proposed resolution: Release or reimplement a stiff-ODE mode-function solver that takes (xi, m_phi, H_inf, H_reh, reheating equation of state w) and outputs the tachyonic occupation spectrum n_k, validating against the paper's abundance contours for quadratic and quartic reheating; a linear-mode module on top of a lattice reheating code such as CosmoLattice would also serve.

proposed resolution: Implement a released ODE integrator for the coupled inflaton-plus-spectator background (parameterized by m, xi, lambda, H_end, H_reh, and reheating equation of state), reproducing the paper's Omega_chi h^2 = 0.12 examples for MeV mass and |xi| of order one, and packaged so alternative inflation potentials can be swapped in.

proposed resolution: Release or build a mode-function solver that evolves the chi field equation on the numerically computed non-minimal-inflation background (inflaton evolution with xi from 1 to about 100), extracts Bogolyubov coefficients through the spike phase, and scans m_chi/H_infl and reheating histories; validate against the paper's analytic exponential-suppression limit.

Complex scalar dark fluid (arXiv:astro-ph/0509592 · score 19)No halo-profile solver or rotation-curve fitting pipeline exists for the quadratic-regime complex-scalar (boson-star-like) halos of this model, so the claimed spiral-galaxy rotation-curve success cannot be tested against data.

Type III seesaw GMSB gravitino dark matter with messenger inflation (arXiv:2107.01263 · score 0)The LFV/perturbativity leg of the exclusion (no viable three-messenger mass window) cannot be independently verified because no public code computes BR(mu to e gamma) for the type-III-seesaw GMSB messenger Yukawa sector; only the paper's own recast exists.

Non-resonantly produced sterile neutrino dark matter in non-standard pre-BBN cosmology (arXiv:1909.13328 · score 40)Lyman-alpha and structure limits are applied only through an approximate thermal-WDM equivalent-mass mapping that is not calibrated for the suppressed, cosmology-dependent momentum spectra produced in non-standard pre-BBN histories, and no numeric exclusion contour or likelihood is encoded.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold ncdm species to obtain transfer functions, then recast published Lyman-alpha flux-power WDM constraints (area-criterion or emulator-based) into distribution-specific limits on the mass-mixing plane at each dark-matter fraction f_s.
Dodelson-Widrow sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1011.2217 · score 40)The quoted DW Lyman-alpha and satellite bounds are 2005-2013 vintage fixed limits, not a reusable likelihood; no current pipeline maps the DW distribution with its peculiar-velocity corrections onto modern Lyman-alpha flux-power or satellite-count data.
proposed resolution: Recompute the DW transfer function in CLASS with the mixing-angle-normalized distribution and run it through a current Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood and a Milky Way satellite-count likelihood, including the velocity-correction effect on initial conditions.
Out-of-equilibrium scalar freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1609.06739 · score 40)Lyman-alpha and small-scale-structure constraints are calibrated on thermal WDM, but the card marks the thermal-WDM mapping as misleading for this decay-produced nonthermal f_N1; only an approximate likelihood exists (likelihood_available: approximate), so exclusion statements from lambda_FS regimes remain qualitative.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_N1(q) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold species to obtain T(k), then apply a transfer-function-level Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator (area-criterion or flux-power emulator approach) validated against published thermal-WDM limits, instead of a single lambda_FS proxy.
Supersymmetric equilibrium-scalar freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1609.06739 · score 40)No validated Lyman-alpha/matter-power likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal mixed cold+warm N1 distributions; the available constraint is an approximate thermal-WDM/FIMP mapping that the card flags as potentially misleading for multi-component distributions.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f_N1(p) into CLASS as a non-cold relic with an arbitrary psd file to compute the linear transfer function, then apply an area-criterion or emulator-based Lyman-alpha likelihood (e.g. the standard flux-power emulators recast for general suppressed transfer functions) validated against the related FIMP analytic mapping.
Supersymmetric out-of-equilibrium scalar freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1609.06739 · score 40)Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure constraints are calibrated on thermal WDM, while the card marks a single thermal-WDM mapping as misleading for this mixed cold-warm two-bump distribution; only an approximate likelihood exists, so structure exclusions stay at the qualitative lambda_FS-regime level.
proposed resolution: Pass the two-component f_N1(q) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold species (or two species) to compute T(k), then apply a transfer-function-level Lyman-alpha likelihood or flux-power emulator validated against thermal-WDM limits, rather than a lambda_FS proxy.
Inflaton-decay singlet-fermion dark matter with inflaton-mediated scatterings (arXiv:2205.03440 · score 40)No Lyman-alpha or matter-power likelihood recast exists for this model's collision-cooled nonthermal distribution: the paper only compares a free-streaming-length proxy, and the card warns that a thermal-WDM mass mapping would be unreliable, so the allowed mass-coupling region has never been derived from an actual transfer-function-level constraint.
proposed resolution: Feed the solver's tabulated f(p) into CLASS as a non-cold dark matter species to compute linear transfer functions, then constrain with a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. an area-criterion or WDM-emulator comparison recalibrated on the actual transfer-function shape).
Line-motivated resonantly produced sterile neutrino N1 dark matter (arXiv:2303.15513 · score 40)Structure-formation constraints on this model are applied only through the approximate half-mode-mass summary statistic; no released Milky Way satellite or Lyman-alpha likelihood consumes the full resonant (non-thermal) N1 transfer function directly, so limits inherit the thermal-WDM mapping error the paper warns about.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing satellite-count likelihood (e.g. the Milky Way subhalo framework used for WDM limits) and a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator to accept arbitrary suppressed transfer functions, then evaluate them on the gap_1 calibrated resonant T(k) grid rather than on thermal-relic equivalents.
Neutrino-interacting asymmetric dark matter with a charged mediator (arXiv:1412.3113 · score 39)No reusable Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count likelihood exists for this model's smooth interacting-DM cutoff; published small-scale-structure limits are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions, and the card records likelihood_available: no for the cutoff-consistency constraint.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100-style area-criterion or emulator analysis) and a DES/PanSTARRS satellite-count likelihood using the model-specific transfer functions produced in gap_1, mapping the interacting-DM cutoff onto half-mode mass rather than thermal WDM mass.
Inelastic freeze-in pseudo-Dirac dark matter (arXiv:2304.06072 · score 39)No bespoke likelihood exists for late chi2 -> chi1 e+ e- energy injection; BBN/CMB/Lyman-alpha bounds are rescaled from generic decaying-DM energy-deposition studies rather than computed with the model's three-body injection spectrum and partial-fraction (half-of-DM) decay.
proposed resolution: Feed the model's three-body e+e- injection spectrum into DarkHistory/ExoCLASS with a decaying-fraction treatment, couple to Planck CMB anisotropy and spectral-distortion (FIRAS/PIXIE forecast) likelihoods, and add a BBN energy-injection calculation for lifetimes near 1e12 s.
Affleck-Dine L-ball resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter scenario (arXiv:2402.11902 · score 39)No spectrum-aware Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal resonantly produced f_s(q); the card explicitly warns that a thermal-WDM mapping is insufficient, so current flux-power constraints cannot be applied at face value.
proposed resolution: Feed the numerical f_s(q) into CLASS as a non-cold (ncdm) species to obtain the linear transfer function, then recast through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. the area-criterion or emulator-based nonthermal-relic pipelines used for resonant sterile neutrinos) over the (m_s, sin^2 2theta, L_nue_init) grid.
Minimal LRSM N1 dark matter with right-handed triplet scalar dilution (arXiv:2312.00129 · score 38)The LSS constraint on the secondary hot N1 fraction rests on an SDSS DR7/Lyman-alpha era comparison with only a partial likelihood; no modern packaged LSS/Lyman-alpha or X-ray line likelihood exists for this mixed cold+hot sterile-neutrino spectrum.
proposed resolution: Recast current Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods (emulator-based eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES pipelines) and updated X-ray line searches onto CLASS transfer functions for the two-component N1 population, replacing the paper's SDSS-scale bound.
Gauged U(1)_{B-L} light Dirac-neutrino-portal dark matter (arXiv:2312.06777 · score 38)The structure-formation constraint is only a free-streaming-length threshold; no pipeline maps the model's nonthermal FIMP momentum distribution to a linear transfer function and a Lyman-alpha (or Milky Way satellite) likelihood.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(q) into CLASS as a non-cold dark matter species to obtain T(k), then constrain it with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (or the area-criterion mapping to thermal WDM bounds) instead of the 0.1 Mpc FSL cut.
Sterile right-handed-neutrino dark matter from RHN oscillations (arXiv:1702.04526 · score 38)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal spectrum: the M1 > about 10 keV floor is a rough recast of thermal-WDM bounds under a pre-QCD production assumption, and the card records likelihood_available no with the constraint flagged recast_required.
proposed resolution: Compute model transfer functions from the tabulated f(p) and evaluate them against XQ-100 plus HIRES/MIKE flux-power data via an existing Lyman-alpha emulator or the Murgia area-criterion recast, replacing the thermal-WDM mass-floor proxy.
Late-PQ-phase-transition axion parametric-resonance dark matter (arXiv:1910.04163 · score 38)No likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints: the abundance-reheating target, the warmness bound, and the defect-viability check are all pass/fail analytic comparisons with likelihood_available set to no throughout the card.
proposed resolution: Wrap the abundance and transfer-function pipeline in a likelihood: an Omega_a h^2 Gaussian against the Planck CDM density plus a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. an existing WDM emulator-based likelihood) evaluated on the model's T(k), exposed over (f_a, m_s, T_RH, n).
Decaying warm dark matter with a massive dark-photon daughter (arXiv:2006.12348 · score 38)Small-scale-structure bounds are imported only through an approximate thermal-equivalent WDM mass mapping; no Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator accepts the model's nonthermal transfer function directly, making the m_wdm > 5.3 keV recast unreliable for this phase-space distribution.
proposed resolution: Apply an area-criterion or half-mode mapping validated for nonthermal spectra, or better, run the model transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator framework (e.g. the ones built on Sherwood/XQ-100-calibrated grids) to derive direct exclusion contours in (m_wdm, tau, epsilon_decay).
Messenger-inflation minimal GMSB gravitino superWIMP (arXiv:2103.11256 · score 38)No structure-formation likelihood is wired for the warmish gravitino: the card explicitly notes the absence of Lyman-alpha or satellite likelihoods, so the claim that lambda_FS may mitigate small-scale tensions without violating existing bounds cannot be tested against data.
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function from gap_1 exists, recast onto published WDM-style constraints via the half-mode mass: Lyman-alpha forest limits (e.g. emulator-based flux-power likelihoods), Milky Way satellite counts, and strong-lensing subhalo constraints, reporting the allowed (m_B, m_3/2) region.
Sterile neutrino dark matter from singlet-scalar freeze-in and dark-sector freeze-out (arXiv:2204.08795 · score 38)No public likelihood maps this model's colder-than-thermal Fermi-Dirac sterile-neutrino distribution (temperature ratio z ~ 0.1) onto Lyman-alpha forest and phase-space (Tremaine-Gunn) bounds; only a free-streaming-length estimate exists, and the card marks the Lyman-alpha likelihood availability as unknown with recasting needed.
proposed resolution: Compute the linear transfer function with CLASS ncdm using a Fermi-Dirac distribution at T_ncdm/T = z, then recast onto existing WDM Lyman-alpha constraints via half-mode-mass matching or by evaluating an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood/emulator on the resulting power spectra over the (m_N, z) plane.
Gravitino LSP dark matter with right-handed sneutrino NLSP (arXiv:0710.2968 · score 37)No structure-formation likelihood applies to the mixed cold/warm gravitino case: Lyman-alpha and satellite-count bounds exist only for pure thermal WDM, and the card states a model-specific mixed-component likelihood is unresolved (structure_free_streaming_bound: likelihood_available unknown, recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Once mixed transfer functions exist (gap_2), recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints using existing WDM/mixed-DM emulator machinery (area-criterion or dedicated emulator retraining on the two-component suppression shape) over (f_warm, lambda_FS), and add Milky Way satellite-count bounds for the same grid.
split-seesaw B-L thermal sterile neutrino with entropy dilution (arXiv:1907.11696 · score 37)Structure-formation constraints are applied only through approximate thermal-WDM equivalent masses; no Lyman-alpha or satellite-count likelihood that consumes the model's actual production-specific transfer function is available ('full production-specific likelihoods require transfer functions, not only equivalent masses').
proposed resolution: Interface the computed transfer function to an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. a Sherwood- or PRIYA-style emulator with area-criterion or direct P_F(k) comparison) and to satellite-count likelihoods, replacing the equivalent-mass mapping.
Scalar singlet FIMP dark matter with vectorlike fermion parent during reheating (arXiv:2306.17238 · score 37)The Lyman-alpha bound for reheating-era decay production is only an order-of-magnitude relaxation estimate: no computed FIMP phase-space distribution f(q) for production during reheating exists, and no Lyman-alpha likelihood or transfer-function pipeline evaluates it, so the quoted 9.2-16 keV floors cannot be replaced by a real bound.
proposed resolution: Derive f(q) for two-body vectorlike-parent decays occurring partly during the monomial reheating phase, feed it to CLASS as a non-cold relic to get T(k) over the (m_DM, m_P, T_rh, k) grid, and evaluate against a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator as done for radiation-dominated FIMP production.
Radiative seesaw warm N_1 dark matter with N_2 entropy dilution (arXiv:1208.2613 · score 37)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists for this model's diluted-thermal distribution (card: likelihood_available = no for lyman_alpha_wdm_mass_bound); the quoted 5.6 keV sterile-neutrino bound is only an approximate proxy.

Gauge-singlet-Higgs decay sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0711.4646 · score 36)Small-scale-structure constraints are applied only through an approximate free-streaming-length cut (lambda_FS < 0.11 Mpc); no Lyman-alpha likelihood exists that consumes this model's decay-produced, colder-than-thermal momentum distribution via the full linear power spectrum.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold relic (ncdm with tabulated phase-space distribution) to obtain T(k), then recast through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or WDM-equivalent area-criterion emulator calibrated for non-thermal distributions.
Simplified light FIMP with entropy-modified decay production (arXiv:1906.09141 · score 36)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists for nonthermal FIMP transfer functions; the model is judged only through the thermal-WDM area proxy A < A_3.5keV = 0.46, which the paper itself warns is not a direct likelihood for arbitrary FIMP spectra, and the route caveat states a fresh hydrodynamical recast would be needed.
proposed resolution: Evaluate the alpha-beta-gamma transfer-function family in an existing hydrodynamical flux-power emulator framework trained on non-cold DM shapes (extending the nCDM Lyman-alpha emulator approach to MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 and newer eBOSS/DESI data) to produce a reusable likelihood on (alpha, beta, gamma).

proposed resolution: Recast modern Lyman-alpha (e.g. eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES emulator-based) and X-ray line-search (NuSTAR/XMM blank-sky) likelihoods onto the two-component N1 transfer functions computed with CLASS, replacing the SDSS-scale comparison used in the paper.
R-invariant gauge-mediated gravitino warm dark matter (arXiv:1012.5466 · score 36)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is attached to the route; the card marks the Ly-alpha constraint as recast_required with likelihood_available partial, so the free-streaming suppression cannot be confronted with data quantitatively.

Abelian Z' sterile-neutrino progenitor dark matter variants (arXiv:1602.06651 · score 36)Lyman-alpha and satellite-count limits are calibrated on thermal WDM transfer functions; no likelihood exists that consumes the colder-than-thermal vector-decay transfer function directly, so the small-scale-structure bound on this model can only be estimated by invalid thermal-mass mapping (the card marks the WDM mapping recast as required).
proposed resolution: Apply a transfer-function-level recast (area-criterion or a Ly-alpha flux-power emulator trained on general suppressed spectra) to the CLASS output for the vector-decay f(q), and validate against the thermal-WDM limit in the appropriate limit.
Self-interacting singlet scalar freeze-in/dark-freeze-out dark matter (arXiv:1604.02401 · score 36)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal mixed cold/warm spectra; the paper only applies a thermal-WDM ~3 keV mass floor as a proxy, which cannot deliver a defensible exclusion for freeze-in versus dark-freeze-out spectra.
proposed resolution: Map the model transfer functions onto existing Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via the area-criterion / half-mode matching used for generic non-cold DM, or interface them with a Lyman-alpha emulator trained on generalized suppressed power spectra, to replace the thermal-WDM mass floor with a spectrum-specific bound.
Sterile-neutrino freeze-in/dark-freeze-out dark matter in a singlet scalar portal sector (arXiv:1604.02401 · score 36)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is available for the nonthermal sterile-neutrino spectra of this model; only an approximate thermal-WDM floor is used, which cannot properly constrain scalar-decay spectra that differ from both thermal WDM and Dodelson-Widrow shapes.

Symmetry-restored 2HDM plus 7.1 keV sterile-neutrino freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:1907.13555 · score 36)No Lyman-alpha likelihood usable for this nonthermal decay-produced spectrum is attached; the card's warm-DM consistency claim rests on a qualitative statement and no thermal-WDM mapping is even available (thermal_wdm_mapping: false).
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function from gap_1 exists, evaluate it against a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100-style chains or a Sherwood-based emulator) using the full T(k), not an equivalent-mass shortcut.
Non-cold fermionic dark matter from primordial black hole evaporation (arXiv:2004.14773 · score 36)No dedicated Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for the nonthermal PBH-evaporation transfer function; constraints rely on an approximate recast onto a conservative thermal-WDM breaking-scale bound.

FIMP Dirac singlet dark matter in extended neutrino 2HDM (arXiv:2106.04124 · score 36)No structure-formation likelihood (Lyman-alpha or satellite counts) is attached to the model; the card only carries a qualitative free-streaming criterion lambda_FS < ~0.1 Mpc, so hot samples are disfavored by hand rather than by data.

Majorana FIMP dark matter with charged scalar parent during reheating (arXiv:2306.17238 · score 36)The Lyman-alpha bound for reheating-era decay production is only an order-of-magnitude relaxation estimate: no computed FIMP phase-space distribution f(q) for production during reheating exists, and no Lyman-alpha likelihood or transfer-function pipeline evaluates it, so the quoted 9.2-16 keV floors cannot be replaced by a real bound.

Nonthermal warm wino LSP dark matter (arXiv:1210.0191 · score 35)No Lyman-alpha likelihood or recast exists for mixed cold-plus-warm dark matter with a decay-produced (non-thermal) warm component; existing Lyman-alpha emulators are calibrated on all-warm thermal WDM and the card flags the thermal-WDM mapping as misleading.

Gravitino NLSP decay to N-superpartner plus stable N (arXiv:1412.4391 · score 35)No Lyman-alpha or galaxy-power likelihood applies directly to the decay-produced nonthermal daughter spectrum; existing small-scale-power limits are thermal-WDM calibrated and the card flags the thermal-to-nonthermal mapping as an approximate assumption that can misstate the exclusion.

proposed resolution: Recast an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (of the type used in the cited decaying-dark-matter Lyman-alpha analysis 2102_12498) onto transfer functions parameterized by lifetime, mass splitting, and relativistic fraction f, so the model's (tau, Delta m, f) space can be scanned directly instead of via thermal-WDM proxies.
Fuzzy dark matter from infrared confining dynamics (arXiv:1701.01136 · score 35)No assembled small-scale-structure likelihood pipeline exists for this model: the FDM transfer-function suppression (kpc-scale de Broglie cutoff) is never connected to a Lyman-alpha forest, subhalo-count, or halo likelihood, so the obs_fdm_wave_structure observable cannot be statistically evaluated.

Hidden dark matter cosmology (HiDM) (arXiv:2305.08943 · score 35)No dedicated Lyman-alpha, lensing-substructure, or satellite-count likelihood exists for HiDM transfer-function shapes; current constraints rely on an approximate thermal-WDM half-mode mapping that the card marks as misleading because HiDM generalizes WDM with chemical potential and hidden-sector equilibrium options.

PBH sterile neutrinogenesis of sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2309.12258 · score 35)No Lyman-alpha likelihood accepts the nonthermal, redshifted spin-1/2 Hawking momentum spectrum of PBH-produced sterile neutrinos; the card's warm-DM constraint uses only a thermal-equivalent mass mapping (m_therm ~ 3 keV) with an approximate f_s scaling.

Light freeze-in dark matter from thermal two-body scalar decay (arXiv:2106.07122 · score 34)Existing Lyman-alpha constraints are calibrated to thermal WDM (the card flags the thermal mapping as misleading) and no likelihood covers nonthermal freeze-in spectra with a free warm fraction f_warm in mixed cold-plus-warm scenarios.

Pseudoscalar-mediated neutrino-interacting Dirac dark matter (arXiv:1602.07624 · score 34)No likelihood consumes DAO-type oscillatory/suppressed transfer functions directly: Lyman-alpha and satellite-count constraints are calibrated on thermal WDM shapes, and the card marks the thermal WDM mapping unavailable for this acoustic-damping cutoff.

Pseudovector-mediated neutrino-interacting Dirac dark matter (arXiv:1602.07624 · score 34)No observational likelihood connects the model's oscillatory, smoothly cut off transfer function to Lyman-alpha or Milky Way satellite data; both card constraints are marked recast_required with likelihood_available unknown, and standard WDM-calibrated likelihoods do not apply because the card states no thermal-WDM mapping is valid.
proposed resolution: Recast existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods (e.g. via a dedicated emulator or an area-criterion mapping validated for dark-acoustic-oscillation transfer functions) and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods to take the model's P(k) directly, rather than a thermal-WDM mass.

Pseudo-Dirac split SIMP dark matter (arXiv:1702.04906 · score 34)The cluster self-interaction and free-streaming/Delta N_eff constraints exist only as quoted numbers (Bullet Cluster sigma/m limits, a roughly 100 kpc free-streaming limit); no likelihood or recast maps the model's velocity- and population-dependent cross section and hidden-sector thermal history onto these bounds, and the card records likelihood_available no for both.
proposed resolution: Build a recast layer that evaluates the model's sigma_T/m at cluster velocities against published merging-cluster and halo-shape limits, and maps (T_dark, m) onto existing Lyman-alpha free-streaming and BBN/CMB N_eff bounds, packaged as interpolable constraint functions.
Colder freeze-in axino dark matter (arXiv:1707.02077 · score 34)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists that accepts the model's nonthermal transfer function directly; the card imports constraints only through an approximate thermal-WDM m_WDM mapping (con_lya_axino_phase_space, likelihood_available: no).

Scalar field dark matter in the Thomas-Fermi self-interaction regime (arXiv:2106.13244 · score 34)No dedicated Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists for the gradual SFDM-TF cutoff; current bounds are imported by matching to FDM transfer-function cutoffs, which the paper itself warns can overstate constraints on R_TF because the cutoff shapes differ.
proposed resolution: Run hydrodynamical Lyman-alpha simulations (or retrain an existing WDM/FDM flux-power emulator) on SFDM-TF initial power spectra parameterized by R_TF, and release the resulting flux-power likelihood so R_TF bounds no longer rely on the FDM proxy mapping.
Light Dirac neutrino portal freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2205.01144 · score 34)The dominant structure-formation constraint is imposed only through a free-streaming-length proxy (lambda_FSL < 0.1 Mpc); no calibrated Lyman-alpha or transfer-function likelihood exists for the model's decay-produced nonthermal momentum distribution, and the card notes no valid thermal-WDM mapping.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f(p) into CLASS as an ncdm species to compute the linear power suppression, then constrain with a public Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator (area-criterion or flux-power based) instead of the lambda_FSL threshold, recalibrating the O(100 keV) mass bound.
Sterile-neutrino portal interacting fermion dark matter (arXiv:2305.01383 · score 34)The Lyman-alpha limits on DM-neutrino scattering are legacy plot-level exclusions with no public likelihood, so the ACT-preferred coupling region cannot be jointly tested against Ly-alpha data for this model's cross-section scalings.
proposed resolution: Recast the nu-DM damped power spectra from CLASS_nu-DM through an existing Lyman-alpha flux emulator or the standard area-criterion/WDM-equivalent mapping, and publish the resulting likelihood over (u_DM, m_DM) for n=0 and n=2 scalings.
Thermal hadronic axion dark matter with low-temperature reheating (arXiv:0711.1352 · score 34)Constraints exist only as WMAP/SDSS-era contours mapped by the primary paper in the (Omega_a h^2, lambda_fs) plane; no modern CMB+LSS likelihood covers entropy-diluted hot axions with reduced T_a/T_gamma, and Lyman-alpha information was explicitly excluded from the mapped contours.

Partially interacting dark-atom dark matter with dark acoustic oscillations (arXiv:1310.3278 · score 34)The exact posterior on (f_int, xi, Gamma_DAO) cannot be reproduced because the source MCMC chains and Gamma_DAO-parameterized likelihood configuration are unavailable, and the Ly-alpha context bound (con_lya_dm_dr_context, likelihood_available 'no') has no likelihood through which the oscillatory PIDM transfer function can be passed.
proposed resolution: Rebuild the constraint pipeline in Cobaya/MontePython with current Planck, BAO, and full-shape galaxy likelihoods on top of the dark-atom Boltzmann module, and recast small-scale bounds by feeding the PIDM transfer function through a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or the standard area-criterion mapping calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations.
Higgs-portal self-interacting freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2311.10360 · score 34)No likelihood exists for either the SIDM target region (dwarf/group/cluster sigma_T/m inferences are used as a heuristic band, likelihood_available: no) or the null-signal detection constraints (Higgs invisible width, Fermi-LAT, CMB energy injection, Voyager, Lyman-alpha are quoted as non-machine-readable curves), so the compatible parameter region cannot be statistically evaluated.
proposed resolution: Assemble a composite likelihood: recast published halo-scale sigma_T/m inferences (e.g. the Kaplinghat-Tulin-Yu data points) into a velocity-binned likelihood, and wrap the detection channels using existing public machinery (DDCalc for SI scattering, Higgs invisible width formula, published CMB f_eff and Fermi-LAT dwarf likelihoods) for this model's annihilation spectra.
PBH sterile neutrinogenesis sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2312.12136 · score 34)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or emulator applies to the sparse, highly energetic nonthermal PBH-emission sterile-neutrino spectrum; published bounds are calibrated to thermal-relic WDM and the card explicitly flags the thermal-WDM mass mapping as misleading, leaving the f_s=1 boundary figure-based only.
proposed resolution: Compute transfer functions with CLASS using the tabulated PBH-emission f(q) (ncdm psd file) over the (m_s, M_PBH, f_s, T_evap) grid, and recast them through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (or a validated area-criterion mapping) to replace the digitized blue-line boundary.
Asymmetric condensed dark matter (arXiv:1502.07354 · score 33)No structure-formation likelihood is connected to the hot-relic suppression: the dwarf-erasure bound is applied only as a rough m ~ 10 keV rule of thumb (likelihood_available: no for con_hot_relic_mass_tension), so the allowed thermal-cloud fraction versus mass is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Recast existing mixed cold-plus-hot dark matter constraints (Lyman-alpha likelihoods/emulators and Milky Way satellite counts, as used for sterile-neutrino and C+WDM fractions) onto the (m, hot-fraction) plane using the transfer functions from the CLASS implementation.
Sub-keV fermionic dark matter with Fermi-pressure dwarf cores (arXiv:1611.04590 · score 33)The Lyman-alpha constraint is applied only through an approximate thermal-equivalent-mass mapping; no flux-power likelihood evaluation exists for this model's suppressed transfer functions, which is exactly where the 400 eV core window meets the roughly 470 eV thermal bound.
proposed resolution: Recast the model transfer functions from gap_1 through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the public WDM flux-power frameworks) using half-mode or full-shape matching, marginalizing over IGM thermal history.
Non-minimally coupled gravitational scalar dark matter (arXiv:2305.14446 · score 33)The Lyman-alpha bound is applied through an equation-of-state/second-moment thermal-WDM equivalence instead of propagating the computed nonthermal f(q) through a Boltzmann code into a Lyman-alpha likelihood, leaving the quoted 34 eV plateau and the low-xi mass floor uncertain (the latter also OCR-ambiguous).
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f(q) into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold relic (ncdm psd file), compute T(k), and evaluate against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. lym1d or a Sherwood/eBOSS-calibrated emulator) to replace the thermal-WDM-equivalent matching.
Thermal hadronic axion dark matter with kination (arXiv:0711.1352 · score 32)The only constraint mapping is via WMAP/SDSS-era contours reconstructed from the primary paper; no modern CMB+LSS likelihood exists in the (Omega_a h^2, lambda_fs) or (m_a, T_kin) plane for kination-modified thermal axions, and Lyman-alpha data were never included.
proposed resolution: Run CLASS/CAMB with a hot thermal-axion component whose temperature ratio and abundance come from the gap_1 solver, and build a Planck+BOSS/eBOSS (optionally Lyman-alpha) likelihood scan in MontePython or Cobaya over (m_a, T_kin) to replace the digitized contours.

proposed resolution: Recast single-species fuzzy-DM Lyman-alpha limits onto the multi-component power spectrum via effective transfer-function (half-mode/area) matching as a conservative first pass, then condition an existing hydrodynamic flux-power emulator on the multi-component suppressed spectra for a proper likelihood in (m_a_i, f_i).
keV sterile neutrino dark matter from singlet scalar decays (arXiv:1502.01011 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure likelihood exists that accepts the non-thermal, sometimes multi-peaked transfer functions of this model; existing Lyman-alpha bounds and emulators are calibrated to thermal-WDM shapes, and the card explicitly warns the thermal-WDM mapping is invalid here.
proposed resolution: Apply a shape-independent Lyman-alpha constraint to the CLASS transfer functions (e.g. an area-criterion or delta-A analysis calibrated on existing flux-power likelihoods, or retrain a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator on generalized T(k) parameterizations) so arbitrary f_N(p) spectra can be confronted with forest and satellite-count data.
DFSZ freeze-in axino dark matter with bilinear R-parity violation (arXiv:1707.06418 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha likelihood accepts the nonthermal axino transfer function directly; the constraint is imported by comparing to conventional-WDM exclusion curves (lyman_alpha_wdm_recast, likelihood_available: no), which the card notes can misstate the exclusion.

proposed resolution: Assemble a MontePython/Cobaya pipeline: CLASS with a cdm+ncdm (tabulated f(q)) sector for the mixed transfer function, Planck and KiDS/DES lensing likelihoods, an existing Lyman-alpha WDM likelihood extended to CWDM shapes, and an X-ray line-flux module, scanned over f_WDM and the sterile-neutrino parameters.
Inflationary light dark photon dark matter (arXiv:2004.10743 · score 32)No model-specific likelihood recasts the Lyman-alpha forest and black-hole superradiance bounds for this vector spectrum; the paper only quotes external scalar fuzzy-DM bounds, so the low-mass exclusion boundary (m_A' near 1e-21 eV) is not quantitatively established for this model.
proposed resolution: Feed the model transfer function from the extended Boltzmann solver into an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator, and recast published spin-1 superradiance rates (which differ from scalar rates) against black-hole spin measurements for the low-mass tail.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with a neutrinophilic vector mediator (arXiv:2005.03681 · score 32)No transfer-function-level structure likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal f_4(x,z): the card notes the dwarf/Lyman-alpha lower-mass pressure is only a rough recast target with no full transfer-function likelihood per vector scenario.

Entropy-diluted light gravitino warm dark matter (arXiv:2104.02958 · score 32)No public Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or emulator covers a mixed cold + warm subcomponent with an O(100 eV) gravitino at a diluted temperature ratio T_3/2/T_nu ~ 0.13-0.15; existing bounds are recasts of pure thermal WDM or the fixed grids of 1706.03118, not the model's (m_3/2, f_3/2, Delta) space.
proposed resolution: Compute transfer functions with CLASS's ncdm sector using the diluted temperature ratio and gravitino fraction, then constrain them either with a flux-power emulator trained on mixed C+WDM hydrodynamical simulations (Sherwood/PRIYA-style suites) or, at reduced precision, with a Murgia-style area-criterion recast of published MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 limits.
Dirac scotogenic freeze-in dark matter with gauged U(1) B-L (arXiv:2203.04276 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha likelihood applicable to this model's nonthermal spectrum exists in the analysis chain: the 5.3 keV bound is a thermal-relic WDM limit, and no recast (area criterion or emulator-based) has been set up to translate the gauge-freeze-in transfer function into a statistically meaningful Ly-alpha constraint.
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function from gap_1 exists, apply a published non-thermal recast method (half-mode/area-criterion mapping validated against MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100, or a hydro-calibrated Ly-alpha flux emulator) to produce exclusion contours in (m_DM, v_B-L, T_RH).
Hot and heavy phase-transition-produced scalar dark matter (arXiv:2207.05096 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha (or stream/lensing/21-cm) likelihood recast exists for this model's nonthermal transfer function; the card only maps to thermal-WDM reference masses, which the source itself flags as not directly applicable (likelihood_available: no on con_pt_wdm_equivalent_velocity).
proposed resolution: Fit the CLASS-computed T(k) to the standard {alpha, beta, gamma} non-cold transfer-function parameterization and reuse published Lyman-alpha MCMC bounds on that space (Murgia/Irsic-style), extending later to satellite-count and stellar-stream likelihoods via the half-mode mass.
Vector dark matter from linear non-minimally coupled inflaton decay (arXiv:2310.06039 · score 32)No Lyman-alpha likelihood or recast exists for this model's nonthermal transfer function; the allowed 4 keV to 1 MeV window relies on a thermal-WDM proxy criterion whose validity for decay-produced spectra is untested.

Kinetic recoupling dark matter (arXiv:2310.20513 · score 32)No small-scale likelihood is valid for the oscillatory, dark-acoustic-oscillation-like P(k) of kinetic recoupling: existing Lyman-alpha forest constraints and emulators are calibrated on WDM-like monotonic suppressions, and the highlighted 21-cm reach (k ~ 3-80 Mpc^-1) exists only as qualitative forecasts.
proposed resolution: Build a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator trained on hydrodynamical simulations with recoupling initial power spectra (extending existing non-CDM Lyman-alpha emulator suites beyond monotonic suppressions), and implement a HERA-style 21-cm power-spectrum forecast likelihood over the recoupling template parameters.

FOPT-generated ultra-light PBH evaporation scalar dark matter (arXiv:2401.12282 · score 32)The Lyman-alpha constraint on the warm, evaporation-produced scalar dark matter is applied only as a cited free-streaming-length cut; no pipeline maps the nonthermal Hawking emission spectrum (card notes distribution_function_available: no) to a linear transfer function and a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood for this M_in-M_DM plane.

proposed resolution: Recast the model through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood that takes arbitrary suppressed transfer functions (e.g. area-criterion or emulator-based WDM frameworks), evaluated on the f(q)-specific P(k) from the production pipeline rather than a thermal-equivalent mass.
Sub-dominant axino decay gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1104.0692 · score 31)No Lyman-alpha or structure-formation likelihood applies to the mixed cold+warm gravitino case: existing Ly-alpha bounds are calibrated on pure thermal-relic WDM, and the constraint used (relativistic_decay_structure_bound) is an approximate energy-density cut with likelihood_available only 'approximate'.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed mixed transfer functions through a Lyman-alpha flux-power framework that supports cold-plus-warm mixtures (e.g. a mixed C+WDM emulator trained on hydrodynamical simulations, or the area-criterion mapping onto published mixed-WDM fraction bounds), replacing the m_axino Y_axino threshold with a fraction-dependent exclusion.

Saxion-decay axino warm dark matter with axion dark radiation (arXiv:1208.2496 · score 31)No current likelihood confronts the model's joint Delta N_eff and small-scale-suppression predictions with data: the N_eff constraint predates final Planck results and the Lyman-alpha bound is applied only through the thermal-WDM equivalence rather than a likelihood evaluated on the nonthermal spectrum.
proposed resolution: Build a joint likelihood combining the Planck 2018 (+BAO) N_eff posterior with a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 based WDM likelihood generalized to nonthermal transfer functions), taking the CLASS outputs of the resolved transfer-function calculation as input.
Vector-parent non-thermal vector WIMP dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 31)No likelihood exists to turn the mixed cold-plus-boosted matter-power suppression into a bound on the nonthermal fraction f: the quoted f < 0.01 limit is taken from the paper's WMAP9-plus-Lyman-alpha analytic summary (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes) and has never been recast with a modern CMB plus Lyman-alpha-forest data likelihood.
proposed resolution: Recast the f bound by feeding the gap_1 transfer functions into a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-style compressed likelihoods) combined with Planck CMB data, scanning over f, tau_X, and M_X/M_DM.

proposed resolution: Insert the LED evaporation phase-space distribution into CLASS as a non-cold-DM species, compute the suppressed transfer function, and recast thermal-WDM Lyman-alpha and satellite-count likelihoods through half-mode-mass matching calibrated on the actual emission distribution.
CKM-aligned heavy-quark freeze-in ALP dark matter (arXiv:2404.12199 · score 31)The Lyman-alpha bound is applied only through an approximate thermal-WDM equivalent-mass mapping; no likelihood pipeline evaluates the actual nonthermal freeze-in transfer function (from decays plus scatterings) against Lyman-alpha flux data, so the m_a floor carries unquantified convention factors.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated freeze-in f(p) into the CLASS ncdm sector to compute exact transfer functions, then evaluate them with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. area-criterion or MIKE/HIRES-calibrated WDM likelihoods generalized to non-cold spectra) to replace the equivalent-m_WDM scaling.
Single-flavor-transition heavy-quark freeze-in ALP dark matter (arXiv:2404.12199 · score 31)The Lyman-alpha bound is applied only through an approximate thermal-WDM equivalent-mass mapping; no likelihood pipeline evaluates the actual nonthermal freeze-in transfer function (which differs between decay- and scattering-dominated transitions) against Lyman-alpha flux data, so the m_a floor carries unquantified convention factors.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated freeze-in f(p) for each transition benchmark into the CLASS ncdm sector to compute exact transfer functions, then evaluate them with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. area-criterion or MIKE/HIRES-calibrated WDM likelihoods generalized to non-cold spectra) to replace the equivalent-m_WDM scaling.
Atomic dark matter model (arXiv:1209.5752 · score 30)No Lyman-alpha or CMB likelihood exists for the oscillatory DAO-plus-damping transfer function: the paper uses representative k_DAO cuts rather than a statistical comparison, and existing Ly-alpha emulators are calibrated on monotonic WDM-like suppression, not oscillatory spectra.
proposed resolution: Recast the atomic-DM transfer functions through a Ly-alpha forest likelihood valid for oscillatory spectra (extending existing flux-power emulators with hydrodynamic simulations on DAO-type initial conditions) and add the modified solver of gap_1 to a Planck CMB likelihood pipeline for xi/Delta N_eff constraints.
Hidden-sector thermal relic dark matter parameterization (arXiv:1012.4458 · score 30)Structure-formation constraints are applied only through an approximate mapping of the hidden-sector free-streaming length onto thermal-WDM Lyman-alpha bounds; no Lyman-alpha or matter-power likelihood calibrated for xi-dependent hidden-sector momentum distributions exists, and no simulation calibration was performed (simulation_calibrated: no).
proposed resolution: Compute exact transfer functions with CLASS using the hidden-sector distribution in the ncdm sector across the (m_chi, xi) plane, then recast through an existing Lyman-alpha WDM likelihood/emulator (e.g. the area-criterion or a Lyman-alpha flux emulator) instead of the half-mode thermal-WDM translation.
Constrained nuMSM resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1204.3902 · score 30)There is no end-to-end structure-formation likelihood for the resonantly produced N1: the colder nonthermal momentum distribution must be propagated into a transfer function and compared to Lyman-alpha data, but the card provides no pipeline connecting f(p) to a Ly-alpha likelihood, so the structure verdict rests on qualitative WDM-bound arguments.
proposed resolution: Feed sterile-dm-style resonant distribution functions into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold relic (ncdm with tabulated f(p)), and evaluate the resulting flux-power suppression against a public Lyman-alpha likelihood or WDM emulator over the (M1, sin^2(2 theta_1), asymmetry) grid.
Warm dark matter from long-lived Majorana fermion decays (arXiv:1303.6267 · score 30)No small-scale-structure likelihood applies to this decay-produced spectrum: Lyman-alpha and satellite-count constraints are calibrated for thermal-WDM transfer functions, and the card states no Ly-alpha likelihood was run, leaving the free-streaming viability constraint (con_majorana_decay_wdm_structure) unquantified.
proposed resolution: Map the gap_2 nonthermal transfer functions onto existing Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via an area-criterion or emulator-based recast (and onto Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods), producing exclusion contours in (M1/M2, tau2, M1) instead of a single thermal-WDM mass bound.
Fermion-parent non-thermal fermion WIMP dark radiation model (arXiv:1304.5243 · score 30)No likelihood exists to turn the mixed cold-plus-boosted matter-power suppression into a bound on the nonthermal fraction f: the quoted f < 0.01 limit is taken from the paper's WMAP9-plus-Lyman-alpha analytic summary (likelihood_available: no, recasting_needed: yes) and has never been recast with a modern CMB plus Lyman-alpha-forest data likelihood.
proposed resolution: Recast the f bound by feeding the gap_1 transfer functions into a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-style compressed likelihoods) combined with Planck CMB data, scanning over f, tau_X, and M_X/M_DM.
Coherent-oscillation phi_16 degenerate fermion dark matter from broken U(1)_{B-L} (arXiv:2004.07863 · score 30)The structure-formation viability is judged only by a 0.3-0.5 Mpc free-streaming window and a rough thermal-WDM 1.9 keV mapping; no Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count likelihood has been applied to the actual nonthermal transfer function of this model.
proposed resolution: Run the model's computed T(k) through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or area-criterion/emulator recast for non-thermal spectra and through a Milky Way satellite-count likelihood (DES/PS1-style), replacing the free-streaming-window proxy with likelihood-grade bounds on m_DM and y_*.
Free phi_16 decay degenerate fermion dark matter from broken U(1)_{B-L} (arXiv:2004.07863 · score 30)The structure-formation viability is judged only by a 0.3-0.5 Mpc free-streaming window and a rough thermal-WDM 1.9 keV mapping; no Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count likelihood has been applied to the actual nonthermal transfer function of this variant (m_DM 0.2-0.35 keV).
proposed resolution: Run the model's computed T(k) through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or area-criterion/emulator recast for non-thermal spectra and through a Milky Way satellite-count likelihood (DES/PS1-style), replacing the free-streaming-window proxy with likelihood-grade bounds on m_DM, Br, and y_*.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with a gauged U(1) L_mu-L_tau vector (arXiv:2005.03681 · score 30)No transfer-function-level structure likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal f_4(x,z): the card notes the dwarf/Lyman-alpha lower-mass pressure is only a rough recast target with no full transfer-function likelihood per vector scenario.
proposed resolution: Feed the solver-produced f_4(x,z) into CLASS as a non-cold relic to compute T(k), then recast through an existing Lyman-alpha emulator/likelihood (e.g. an area-criterion or WDM-equivalent mapping for non-thermal sterile spectra) and dwarf-count likelihoods to replace the qualitative 7.1 keV margin.
Spin-1 relativistic-decay dark matter EFT (arXiv:2212.13272 · score 30)No end-to-end likelihood pipeline maps the EFT parameters (Lambda, m_X, m_DM, tau_X, fraction f) onto joint CMB N_eff/H0, BBN light-element, and matter-power/free-streaming data, so the quoted H0 about 70 km/s/Mpc claim and the allowed parameter region cannot be statistically validated.
proposed resolution: Wrap the modified solver of gap_1 in a Cobaya/MontePython run using Planck plus BAO plus SH0ES likelihoods, add PRIMAT/AlterBBN for photon-injection BBN bounds, and include a Lyman-alpha or CMB-lensing matter-power likelihood for the free-streaming constraint.
Scalar-driven sterile-neutrino dark matter with an ultralight scalar (arXiv:2305.08095 · score 30)No small-scale-structure likelihood accepts this model's non-thermal colder-than-DW transfer function; existing Lyman-alpha, strong-lensing, and satellite-count bounds are published as thermal-WDM or standard-DW mass limits (e.g. the quoted 92 keV DW exclusion) and cannot be applied without a model-specific recast.
proposed resolution: Feed the CLASS transfer function from the scalar-driven f_N(p) into existing WDM constraint machinery via a half-mode-mass or area-criterion mapping onto Lyman-alpha (compressed flux-power likelihoods or emulators), galaxy-galaxy strong-lensing substructure, and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, checking the mapping validity for the non-thermal spectral shape.
Three-to-one resonantly produced mixed sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2306.16532 · score 30)No likelihood pipeline exists that jointly evaluates the fraction-weighted X-ray decay-line constraint and the strong-lensing, Milky-Way satellite, and Lyman-alpha structure constraints for mixed sterile-plus-CDM models; published limits assume all-sterile or thermal-WDM spectra and require recasting.
proposed resolution: Wire the model's T(k) and fraction-weighted mixing angle into existing public likelihoods (DES/PS1 Milky-Way satellite likelihood, strong-lensing substructure likelihoods, a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator) and recast published X-ray line limits with the f-weighted decay flux, exposing the combination over (m_s, sin^2 2theta, L_alpha, f).
Inflaton-produced scalar dark matter (arXiv:2309.08305 · score 30)The Lyman-alpha constraint is imposed only through an equation-of-state matching to a thermal WDM bound (k_H > 15 h/Mpc criterion); no Boltzmann transfer-function computation for the actual nonthermal f_chi(q), and no Lyman-alpha likelihood evaluated on it, exist — the card notes a full recast could shift the m_chi bound.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f_chi(q) from gap_1 into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold-dark-matter species to compute the true transfer-function cutoff, then evaluate it against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. area-criterion or WDM-equivalent mapping calibrated on MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100/eBOSS) to replace the translated bound.
Memory-burdened PBH evaporation dark matter cogenesis (arXiv:2405.15858 · score 30)The Lyman-alpha obstruction to cogenesis is asserted via a thermal-WDM mass-bound mapping, not a likelihood: no Lyman-alpha likelihood or transfer-function-level recast exists for this nonthermal PBH-emitted spectrum, so the stated exclusion of simultaneous DM and BAU production is qualitative.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed non-cold transfer functions through an established Lyman-alpha constraint framework (area-criterion mapping onto thermal-WDM bounds, or directly through a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood) to obtain quantitative bounds in the (M_in, k, q, m_DM) plane.
Memory-burdened PBH evaporation dark matter cogenesis (arXiv:2405.15858 · score 30)The induced-GW observable is compared only against LISA/ET/BBO/DECIGO sensitivity projections; no likelihood or detection-statistic module is attached, so the GW channel cannot yet constrain or favor parameter space quantitatively.
proposed resolution: Package digitized power-law-integrated sensitivity curves for LISA/ET/BBO/DECIGO into a signal-to-noise forecast module for the Omega_GW(f) output, so GW reach maps onto the same (M_in, beta, k, q) grid as the relic and Lyman-alpha calculations.
Light collisional cold dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0309652 · score 30)No likelihood exists for the structure-formation survival bound: the damping-scale constraint (likelihood_available: unknown) is a qualitative exclusion of parameters that erase observed galaxy/early-halo scales, with no Lyman-alpha or halo-abundance statistical pipeline applicable to the oscillatory light-DM cutoff.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing small-scale-structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or MW satellite-count likelihood) in terms of the model's damping mass M_damp and kinetic-decoupling parameters, validating the non-WDM cutoff shape against a small set of dedicated hydrodynamical runs.
Hidden-fermion-assisted gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1009.5865 · score 30)The mixed cold/warm small-scale constraint is inherited from a WMAP5-era Lyman-alpha analysis; no current mixed CDM+WDM Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator is connected to bound f_WDM versus lambda_FS for this model.
proposed resolution: Apply a modern Lyman-alpha framework to the computed transfer functions, e.g. the Murgia-Irsic-Viel area-criterion recast or a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator, to update the allowed (f_WDM, lambda_FS) region.
Neutrinophilic singlet dark matter DS_M1 (arXiv:1710.09846 · score 30)The Lyman-alpha constraint is applied only as a broad overview bound (decoupling before the ~100 eV epoch); no Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator calibrated for acoustic-damping (dark-oscillation) transfer-function shapes, as opposed to thermal-WDM cutoffs, is available for this model.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's CLASS transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator (e.g. an ETHOS/interacting-DM extension of WDM-calibrated emulators) or apply the area-criterion mapping validated for non-WDM cutoff shapes, replacing the fixed 100 eV timing cut.
Neutrinophilic singlet dark matter DS_M2 (arXiv:1710.09846 · score 30)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is available for the late-kinetic-decoupling cutoff; the paper uses only a broad overview bound and the card flags that modern, more restrictive Lyman-alpha analyses were not recast.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's computed transfer functions onto existing WDM/interacting-DM Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods or emulators (e.g. half-mode-mass mapping onto published MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 style analyses), validating the mapping for acoustic-oscillation-type cutoffs.
Heavy-scalar decay gravitino warm dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0604132 · score 30)No modern small-scale-structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite counts) is connected to this model's nonthermal suppression; the free-streaming constraint is a 2006-era analytic estimate, and the card records likelihood_available as no/unknown for all constraints.
proposed resolution: Once transfer functions exist (gap_1), recast them through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or area-criterion WDM bound and through satellite-count likelihoods, mapping each (B_3/2, M_X, T_R) point to an equivalent thermal-WDM mass with validity checks on the shape mismatch.
DFSZ axino cold dark matter (arXiv:1108.2282 · score 29)No Lyman-alpha/reionization likelihood applies to this model's mixed cold-warm axino scenario: the source used SDSS-era velocity bounds and a warm-fraction limit of about 0.35, while existing Lyman-alpha emulators and likelihoods are calibrated for pure thermal-relic WDM, not a subdominant warm component with a decay-injected spectrum.
proposed resolution: Recast mixed cold+warm dark matter Lyman-alpha constraints onto the model by mapping the CLASS-computed transfer functions to the (warm fraction, thermal-equivalent mass) plane of published mixed-DM Lyman-alpha analyses, or extend a flux-power emulator with the mixed-spectrum suppression shape.
Hidden-charged dark matter with chiral dark radiation (arXiv:1706.05605 · score 29)The Lyman-alpha bound on the model's power suppression exists only as a recast of a related but not identical DM-DR analysis (con_hidden_dr_lya_recast, likelihood_available: no); no validated mapping from the hidden-U(1) opacity to the flux-power likelihood used in that analysis is available for this model's e_D range.
proposed resolution: Compute the model's linear matter power spectra from the modified CLASS and evaluate them against a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or compressed emulator (e.g. an area-criterion or WDM-style emulator recast calibrated on SDSS/MIKE-HIRES data), validating the opacity-equivalence assumption stated on the card.
Mirror matter dark matter with cooler mirror sector (arXiv:hep-ph/0304260 · score 29)No Lyman-alpha (or satellite/reionization) likelihood is valid for the mirror-baryon transfer function: existing small-scale constraints assume thermal-WDM-like smooth cutoffs, while this model predicts acoustic oscillations plus collisional damping, and the card marks the thermal WDM mapping as misleading.
proposed resolution: Run hydrodynamic Lyman-alpha forest simulations (or extend an existing flux-power emulator) over a grid of mirror transfer functions parameterized by (x, Omega_b_prime), so oscillatory damped spectra can be constrained directly rather than through a thermal-WDM mass proxy.
Low-reheat warm gravitino dark matter (arXiv:0805.2836 · score 28)Current small-scale-structure constraints on this model rest on a phase-space-density criterion and WMAP/Lyman-alpha-era literature; no modern Lyman-alpha or Milky Way satellite likelihood has been applied to the actual nonthermal gravitino spectra (likelihood_available: partial, thermal-WDM limits cannot be copied directly).
proposed resolution: Propagate the model transfer functions through existing public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods and Milky Way satellite-count WDM likelihoods (DES/PS1-class), replacing the thermal-equivalent-mass shortcut with the exact f(p,t)-based suppression.
nuMSM lepton-asymmetry resonant sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0804.4543 · score 28)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applicable to resonant nonthermal sterile-neutrino spectra is available; the card only carries a 2005-era thermal-WDM lower-bound recast whose thermal-equivalent mapping the paper itself flags as unreliable for these spectra.
proposed resolution: Run the model transfer functions from step s2 through a modern public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-class analyses) instead of copying thermal-WDM mass limits, packaging the result as a likelihood over (M_1, sin^2 2theta, n_L/s).
Nonminimally coupled scalar dark matter from R^2 inflation (arXiv:1201.3539 · score 28)The warm/cold classification rests on an average-velocity-at-equality criterion; the decay-produced momentum distribution has not been propagated to a linear transfer function or confronted with a small-scale-structure (Lyman-alpha/subhalo) likelihood, and the card notes no dedicated Lyman-alpha likelihood was read.
proposed resolution: Derive the decay-produced f(q) from the scalaron-decay kinematics, feed it to CLASS as a custom ncdm species to get the transfer-function cutoff, and map it to existing thermal-WDM Lyman-alpha and satellite-count bounds via a half-mode-mass matching.
Goldilocks cosmology gravitino dark matter in minimal GMSB (arXiv:1205.6480 · score 28)The small-scale-structure and BBN tests are only threshold criteria (lambda_FS < 0.5 Mpc, tau_chi < 0.1-1 s) with 'approximate' likelihoods; no transfer-function-based matter-power/Lyman-alpha likelihood for the decay-produced gravitino spectrum and no element-abundance BBN injection calculation exist for this scenario.
proposed resolution: Compute the non-thermal gravitino momentum distribution from late neutralino decay, obtain T(k) via CLASS ncdm and evaluate a public Lyman-alpha or satellite-count likelihood in place of the 0.5 Mpc cut, and run the decay injection through a public BBN injection code such as ACROPOLIS to replace the lifetime cut.
Light-vector freeze-in dark matter with plasmon decay (arXiv:1902.08623 · score 28)No reusable joint likelihood exists for the small-scale probes (Lyman-alpha forest, quasar lensing, stellar streams, Milky Way satellites) applied to arbitrary nonthermal freeze-in transfer functions; the quoted mass floor up to 20 keV was derived in the related paper and cannot be re-evaluated for other thermalization scenarios or parameter points.
proposed resolution: Assemble a joint likelihood pipeline combining Planck CMB likelihoods, a compressed Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (or WDM-calibrated emulator), and published satellite/stream suppression likelihoods, parameterized by the model transfer function rather than a thermal-WDM mass, and calibrate it by reproducing the related paper's mass reach.
Benchmark FIMP freeze-in warm dark matter model (arXiv:1907.04558 · score 28)No Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator is available that consumes the FIMP's nonthermal transfer function directly; constraints are translated through an approximate thermal-WDM warmness or half-mode mapping, which the card flags as benchmark-dependent and a leading systematic.
proposed resolution: Feed the CLASS-computed nonthermal transfer functions into an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator framework (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 or eBOSS WDM emulator setups) with IGM nuisance marginalization, replacing the m_WDM-equivalent proxy with a direct P(k)-level likelihood.
Hadronic up-type minimal scalar FIMP freeze-in model (arXiv:1910.00117 · score 28)No distribution-specific Lyman-alpha constraint exists for the decay-produced scalar FIMP momentum spectrum: the m_s > 12 keV floor is a quoted proxy bound without a transfer-function table or likelihood, and modern flux-power limits may move it.
proposed resolution: Compute the decay-produced f(p) analytically, feed it to CLASS as a non-cold ncdm species to get the transfer function over (m_s, m_F, T_R), and recast current Lyman-alpha WDM limits (half-mode/area criterion or an emulator-based flux-power likelihood) into an updated m_s floor.
Leptonic minimal scalar FIMP freeze-in model (arXiv:1910.00117 · score 28)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is attached for the suppressed power spectra of this decay-produced FIMP; the constraint is a single quoted 12 keV threshold from the primary paper, which modern flux-power data would shift.
proposed resolution: Map the model transfer functions onto the Murgia-Viel {alpha,beta,gamma} parameterization and evaluate against an existing MIKE/HIRES/XQ-100 flux-power likelihood or a trained Lyman-alpha emulator, revalidating the 12 keV edge before scanning.
Neutrino-portal dark matter with neutrino-mediated self-interactions (arXiv:2106.08339 · score 28)The collisional-damping cutoff and Lyman-alpha constraint are evaluated only by comparing to a generic DM-neutrino elastic-scattering bound; no Boltzmann-level computation or likelihood exists for this EFT's temperature-dependent DM-neutrino interaction and M_cut prediction.
proposed resolution: Implement the neutrino-portal scattering rate in a DM-neutrino-interacting modified CLASS (ETHOS-style nu-DM coupling), compute the linear power suppression, and score it against Lyman-alpha flux-power and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods instead of the translated generic bound.
Thermal-effects freeze-in sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2308.01341 · score 28)No production-specific structure-formation likelihood exists: Lyman-alpha, satellite-count, and phase-space bounds are quoted from thermal-relic or DW-based mappings, but constraining this model requires propagating its colder freeze-in distribution function to the matter power spectrum.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(q) benchmarks into CLASS as non-cold dark matter to get transfer functions, then apply Lyman-alpha forest likelihoods/emulators and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, reporting mass bounds as a function of the freeze-in channel mix and f_DM.
Thermal hadronic axion in nonstandard cosmologies (arXiv:2308.01352 · score 28)No Boltzmann-to-likelihood pipeline exists for the mixed cold-misalignment plus warm-thermal axion population: CLASS-style ncdm setups handle a single thermal species with a nonstandard temperature, but no configured run or LSS/CMB likelihood covers the two-component (cold fraction plus warm fraction) case this model predicts.
proposed resolution: Configure CLASS with a cold axion fluid plus an ncdm species at the computed axion temperature T_a0, and couple it to Planck and galaxy-clustering/Lyman-alpha likelihoods in MontePython or Cobaya, scanning (m_a, f_cold, f_warm) to produce reusable mixed-population constraints.
Relativistically decoupled warm dark matter with arbitrary distribution function (arXiv:1008.0992 · score 27)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists that accepts a general transfer function T(k) with distribution-dependent free-streaming and acoustic-oscillation features; existing flux-power constraints and emulators are calibrated on thermal-relic or Dodelson-Widrow-like cutoffs, so the quoted 550 eV / 2.0 keV limits cannot be transferred to arbitrary f_0(p) without recasting.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Ly-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood framework to take generic T(k) shapes as input (parameterized by cutoff scale, slope, and oscillation amplitude/phase) instead of a thermal-equivalent WDM mass, trained on hydrodynamic simulations spanning that shape space.
A4 Froggatt-Nielsen seesaw sterile-neutrino warm dark matter model (arXiv:1110.6382 · score 27)No joint likelihood pipeline exists for this model combining X-ray decay-line limits, Lyman-alpha free-streaming constraints on a non-thermal sterile spectrum, and short-baseline/reactor oscillation fits over the (M_s, theta_s, FN-charge) parameter space.
proposed resolution: Assemble a recast pipeline: compute the transfer function from f(p) with a modified CLASS/CAMB non-cold-relic module, apply published Ly-alpha WDM likelihoods or emulators, add stacked X-ray line limits (e.g. from blank-sky and M31 analyses), and couple the eV-sterile sector to a public oscillation global-fit code.
Global-U(1) pseudo-Dirac dark matter with Goldstone dark radiation (arXiv:1404.6127 · score 27)Lyman-alpha and small-scale-structure constraints are only partially available and calibrated for WDM-like exponential cutoffs; no likelihood handles this model's oscillatory dark-acoustic-oscillation power spectrum, so exclusions cannot be stated without recasting.
proposed resolution: Recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints for DAO-shaped spectra using an emulator or area-criterion mapping trained on hydrodynamical simulations with ETHOS-like initial conditions, fed by the gap_1 transfer functions.
7.1 keV sterile-neutrino dark matter with low-scale leptogenesis (arXiv:1412.4899 · score 27)No matter-power/Lyman-alpha likelihood (nor a validated thermal-WDM mapping, which the card marks unavailable) exists for this model's decay-produced nonthermal transfer function, so the free-streaming constraint status is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Compute the linear transfer function with CLASS ncdm using the derived f(p), then recast it through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (or a validated area-criterion thermal-WDM mapping) to bound the (m_s, T_prod) benchmark.
Quasi-cold dark matter with velocity-dispersion perturbations (arXiv:1507.00982 · score 27)No dedicated Lyman-alpha likelihood or calibrated recast maps sigma^2 to a flux-power constraint; the card's Lyman-alpha bound rests on comparing cutoff scales to thermal-WDM masses even though the quasi-cold transfer function is not identical to thermal WDM, and the validity of that mapping in the k ~ 20-70 h/Mpc range is untested.
proposed resolution: Feed the gap_1 linear P(k) into an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood framework calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations (e.g. the WDM-style emulators used for MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS analyses, or an area-criterion recast validated against them) to derive a direct exclusion on sigma^2 rather than an equivalent-WDM-mass proxy.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with Dodelson-Widrow modification of a non-trivial initial abundance (arXiv:1512.05369 · score 27)No structure-formation likelihood (Milky Way satellite counts or Lyman-alpha forest) valid for mixed cold+warm non-thermal sterile-neutrino spectra; existing constraints are parameterized in thermal-WDM mass and the paper substitutes an approximate subhalo-abundance estimate.
proposed resolution: Recast a public satellite-count likelihood (DES/PS1-type subhalo abundance) and a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator in terms of the full linear P(k) (e.g. via half-mode scale or area-criterion mapping) so that arbitrary DW-modified transfer functions can be scored directly.
Constrained self-interacting dark matter with dark photon and dark fermions (arXiv:1709.09717 · score 27)No validated Lyman-alpha likelihood or WDM-equivalent mapping exists for this model's oscillatory dark-acoustic-damping transfer function; the paper's satellite-suppression conclusion rests on a qualitative recast.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-style) with an area-criterion or emulator-based treatment of dark-acoustic-oscillation transfer functions, validated against a small set of hydrodynamic simulations with DAO initial conditions.
Cannibal scalar dark matter with 3-to-2 self-interactions (arXiv:2008.08486 · score 27)No Lyman-alpha forest constraint pipeline exists for CanDM: the paper defers the recast, and existing forest likelihoods/emulators are calibrated on WDM-like thermal cutoffs, not the pressure-driven suppression shape from cannibal dynamics (the card flags the WDM mapping as misleading).
proposed resolution: Feed CanDM linear P(k) suppression shapes into an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power framework (e.g. an area-criterion or emulator-based WDM-style analysis extended to general suppression shapes), running a small set of hydrodynamic simulations to validate the mapping for full and ten-percent CanDM fractions.
Self-interacting warm dark matter (arXiv:2108.02657 · score 27)No full Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for SI-WDM: existing Lyman-alpha emulators and likelihoods are calibrated on CDM and thermal-WDM transfer-function shapes, while self-interactions change the cutoff shape (late kinetic coupling, dark acoustic-like features), so the paper's deviation criterion against thermal-WDM bounds cannot yield robust mass/cross-section limits.
proposed resolution: Run a small grid of hydrodynamical simulations (or validated a-la Sherwood rescalings) over representative siwdm-class transfer-function shapes and extend an existing Lyman-alpha emulator/likelihood framework (e.g., a LaCE-style flux-power emulator) to the SI-WDM shape parameters, then derive proper posterior bounds on (m_DM, C_V, C_m).
Two temperature dark matter (2TDM) (arXiv:2112.03993 · score 27)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood exists for the two-temperature nonthermal transfer-function shape; the card's Ly-alpha bound is a recast against thermal-WDM reference masses (3.5/5.3 keV), which the card itself flags as approximate for two-temperature spectra whose cutoff shape differs from thermal WDM.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Ly-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood framework (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES + XQ-100 grids or a Sherwood-type emulator) to accept general suppressed transfer functions parameterized by (A_2, eta, m_DM) or by shape parameters like the area criterion, and validate against the paper's quoted A_ref thresholds.
Two-component cold dark matter with self-heated light component (arXiv:2312.07660 · score 27)Lyman-alpha constraints exist only as a qualitative argument that thermal-WDM mass bounds are weakened; no dedicated recast maps the model's nonthermal, fraction-and-splitting-controlled suppression onto Lyman-alpha flux-power data.
proposed resolution: Run the model's transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or apply the area-criterion mapping calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations, scanning (r_1, m_1, m_2, sigma_self_1) to replace the qualitative weakened-bound statement with contours.
Light hidden fermion assisted gravitino dark matter (arXiv:1004.4890 · score 26)No mixed warm/cold structure-formation likelihood exists for decay-produced gravitino or hidden-fermion components: the route uses an approximate lambda_FS < 0.5 Mpc proxy instead of a transfer-function-level Lyman-alpha constraint on the warm fraction f_WDM with the nonthermal decay momentum spectrum.
proposed resolution: Derive the nonthermal phase-space distribution f(q) for daughters of two-body LOSP or parent decays at lifetime tau_parent, feed it to CLASS as an ncdm component alongside the cold fraction, and compare against published Lyman-alpha mixed cold+warm fraction bounds or an emulator-based flux-power likelihood.
Two-body decaying dark matter with one massless and one massive daughter (arXiv:1410.0683 · score 26)No dedicated Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for two-body decaying dark matter; current constraints rely on effective mappings of the decay-induced suppression onto emulators trained on LCDM/WDM grids, which is only approximate at the S8-favored (tau, epsilon) values.
proposed resolution: Extend a public Ly-alpha flux-power emulator with hydrodynamical runs using two-body DDM linear spectra from the modified CLASS branch, or validate the existing effective-model compression (arXiv:2210.06117 approach) across the full (tau, epsilon) plane.
Non-thermally produced WIMP dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0009003 · score 26)The Lyman-alpha bound on r_c rests on a visual comparison to a 750 eV thermal-WDM transfer function rather than a modern flux-power likelihood evaluated for the model's actual nonthermal transfer functions, and the dwarf phase-space bound is only an order-of-magnitude estimate.
proposed resolution: Run the model's CLASS-generated transfer functions through an existing public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 or BOSS-based WDM analysis chains) using the standard area-criterion or direct P(k) interface to re-derive the r_c limit.
Interacting hot neutrino dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/9702236 · score 26)The route lists no likelihoods: there is no pipeline comparing the diffusion-damped matter power spectrum to modern large-scale-structure or CMB data, so the phenomenologically allowed lambda_mfp range cannot be quantified.
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS implementation from gap_1 exists, connect it through Cobaya/MontePython to Planck CMB, galaxy power spectrum, and Lyman-alpha 1D flux likelihoods to derive posterior bounds on (m_nu, sigma_nunu or lambda_mfp).
QCD axion dark matter from Peccei-Quinn-field parametric resonance (arXiv:1711.10486 · score 26)No LSS/Lyman-alpha likelihood has been applied to resonance-produced warm axions; the card only has the qualitative v_a < 1e-3 warmness bound, and the constraint con_axion_lss_warmness_recast explicitly lacks a likelihood, so no exclusion curve in (m_S,i, f_a) exists.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated nonthermal spectra into CLASS as an ncdm species, compute transfer functions, and evaluate them against an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the area-criterion or emulator-based WDM pipelines generalized to arbitrary f(p)), producing a warmness exclusion in the model parameters.
Chilled sterile neutrino dark matter from out-of-equilibrium singlet decays (arXiv:0801.3470 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applies to this model: the card's bound is a 2008 SDSS free-streaming comparison (k_fs ~ 2/Mpc), and modern Lyman-alpha constraints and emulators are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions, not the nonthermal out-of-equilibrium singlet-decay cutoff shape.
proposed resolution: Map the model's transfer functions onto existing Lyman-alpha analyses via half-mode or area-criterion matching to thermal-WDM emulators (MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS-based), validated with a small set of hydrodynamic simulations for representative warm out-of-equilibrium spectra.
Preheating dark matter (arXiv:1002.1306 · score 25)No likelihood pipeline exists for the model: the paper only compares spectral shapes qualitatively to WMAP/SDSS/Lyman-alpha data with matter-radiation equality held fixed, so no modern CMB+LSS constraint on (m_phi, lambda) can be produced.
proposed resolution: Once the CLASS implementation of gap_1 exists, couple it to Cobaya or MontePython with the Planck 2018 CMB likelihoods plus a BOSS/eBOSS P(k) or Lyman-alpha likelihood and run an MCMC over (m_phi, lambda, z_T) alongside the standard cosmological parameters.
Equilibrium-scalar freeze-in sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1609.06739 · score 25)The Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure constraint on the nonthermal N1 spectrum is applied only via an approximate thermal-WDM free-streaming mapping, which the card flags as a proxy; no likelihood ingests the actual nonthermal transfer function.
proposed resolution: Feed f_N1(p) into CLASS as an ncdm species to compute exact linear transfer functions, then evaluate them against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator calibrated for generic suppressed spectra (area-criterion or emulator-based) instead of the half-mode WDM mapping.
Asymmetric dark matter with sterile-neutrino Dark MSW interactions (arXiv:1702.08464 · score 25)No quantitative small-scale-structure likelihood exists for the late DM-sterile-neutrino momentum transfer: the card records likelihood_available no, robustness low, and no forward-model step covers the obs_dm_neutrino_momentum_transfer_small_scales observable, so the (q_s^2 q_X^2, m_A) bound is only a qualitative exclusion statement.
proposed resolution: Implement the A-prime-mediated DM-neutrino momentum-transfer rate as an ETHOS-style dark-matter/dark-radiation coupling in a modified CLASS, compute the suppressed linear power spectra over the (q_s^2 q_X^2, m_A, m_X) space including the model-dependent sterile-sector temperature, and recast Lyman-alpha bounds via an area-criterion or emulator likelihood.
String-axiverse misalignment dark matter parameterization (arXiv:1809.06382 · score 25)No fraction-aware Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or flux-power emulator exists for mixed ultralight-axion dark matter; existing bounds assume the axion is all of the dark matter, while this model's posterior favors Omega_a/Omega_cdm < 1 with log10(m_a/eV) near -21.5.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator with an axion-fraction parameter: run a grid of hydrodynamical simulations initialized with axionCAMB mixed-DM transfer functions over (m_a, Omega_a/Omega_cdm), train the emulator, and package it as a MontePython/Cobaya likelihood.
S3 x Z2 sterile-neutrino dark matter model (arXiv:1912.02294 · score 25)No packaged X-ray-line or structure-formation (Lyman-alpha, satellite-count) likelihood is linked to the card for mapping a nonthermal sterile-neutrino momentum distribution onto exclusions; existing published limits assume standard Dodelson-Widrow-like spectra and would need reinterpretation for this model's colder or warmer f(p).
proposed resolution: Assemble a recasting pipeline that maps arbitrary f(p) to a half-mode-mass or equivalent-thermal-WDM mass via CLASS transfer functions and applies published Lyman-alpha/satellite likelihoods, combined with X-ray line flux limits rescaled by the computed abundance fraction and mixing-driven decay rate.
Non-adiabatically produced gravitational ultra-light scalar dark matter (arXiv:1912.10859 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applicable to this model exists: the quoted XQ-100 plus HIRES/MIKE fuzzy-DM bound assumes standard misalignment-FDM transfer functions, and no flux-power likelihood or emulator accepts the non-adiabatic production distribution's transfer-function shape.
proposed resolution: Recast the XQ-100 plus HIRES/MIKE flux-power likelihood using an existing Lyman-alpha emulator conditioned on the linear transfer function (marginalizing IGM thermal history), mapping this model's suppression scale onto the emulator's cutoff parameterization and checking the mapping's validity against a small set of hydrodynamical simulations.
Conformal GUT hidden-sector inert dark fermion dark matter (arXiv:2004.02921 · score 25)The Lyman-alpha constraint is applied only as a lambda_fs < 1 Mpc coldness threshold; there is no transfer-function-level calculation or likelihood for the model's nonthermal dark-fermion momentum distribution, whose transfer_function_shape the card marks unknown.
proposed resolution: Feed the nonthermal f(p) from the inflaton-decay Boltzmann solution into CLASS as a non-cold-DM species, compute the linear transfer function, and constrain it with an existing Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator (e.g. the WDM half-mode area criterion or a MIKE/HIRES-calibrated flux-power emulator).
Dark matter vortex filament model (arXiv:2111.03061 · score 25)No dedicated recast likelihood links the ultralight mass m implied by any chosen interpretation of the N_V/m fit to Lyman-alpha and halo/subhalo structure bounds, particularly in the subcomponent or self-interacting-condensate regimes where published all-DM fuzzy bounds do not directly apply.
proposed resolution: Recast existing Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints (using public WDM/FDM emulators or the axionCAMB transfer functions mapped through a calibrated flux-power emulator) and Milky Way satellite/subhalo likelihoods into a joint likelihood over (m, dark matter fraction, g), covering the mixed cold-plus-ultralight case.
Asymptotic-safety sterile-neutrino freeze-in dark matter (arXiv:2204.00866 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha (or combined structure/X-ray) likelihood exists for a sub-MeV sterile neutrino with a scalar-decay nonthermal spectrum; published bounds assume Dodelson-Widrow or thermal-WDM spectra and the card marks the constraint as recast_required with no likelihood.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_N(p) into CLASS/CAMB as an ncdm species to obtain transfer functions, then recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via an existing WDM emulator or half-mode/area-criterion mapping, and rescale published X-ray line limits by the model's actual abundance-mixing relation.
Multi-ultralight-axion mixed dark matter (arXiv:2303.00999 · score 25)No public Lyman-alpha likelihood or recast exists for multi-ULA transfer-function shapes; the cited 2e-20 eV bound assumes all-DM single-ULA spectra and the card marks likelihood availability unknown with recasting needed, while the WDM mapping is explicitly warned to be inaccurate.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. hydrodynamic-simulation-based emulators used for WDM/ULA bounds) onto the multi-ULA transfer-function parameter space (m_i, f_i, m_r), rather than relying on approximate WDM-equivalent masses.
Coherent-incoherent self-interacting bosonic dark matter framework (arXiv:2303.02049 · score 25)No likelihood exists for confronting the hybrid transfer function with data: standard one-component FDM Lyman-alpha boson-mass bounds cannot be applied without mapping the full hybrid transfer function, and no dwarf-galaxy/core likelihood is packaged.
proposed resolution: Recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints by feeding the hybrid model's transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha emulator/likelihood pipeline over the (m, g, condensate fraction) space, and build an analogous recast of soliton-core and dwarf-galaxy density-profile constraints.
Hidden axion dark matter from saxion decay (arXiv:2304.07462 · score 25)No Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood is attached to the route (likelihood_available 'no' for con_lya_free_streaming_axion), so even with a transfer function the constraint can only be imposed through the crude L_fs < 0.1 Mpc criterion or a borrowed thermal-equivalent 5.3 keV bound.
proposed resolution: Interface the computed nonthermal transfer functions with an existing XQ-100 plus HIRES/MIKE flux-power likelihood or a Lyman-alpha emulator, or at minimum implement the published area-criterion recast that maps generic suppressed transfer functions onto the thermal-WDM exclusion.
Minimal clockwork neutrinogenesis scalar dark-sector subcomponent (arXiv:2310.09640 · score 25)Existing Lyman-alpha and CMB/LSS mixed hot-DM likelihoods are calibrated for thermal (WDM-like or massive-neutrino-like) spectra and no recast exists that bounds f_hot for this model's nonthermal secluded distribution.
proposed resolution: Map the model's transfer functions onto existing mixed cold-plus-hot constraints by matching suppression templates, or rerun a Lyman-alpha emulator-based likelihood on a grid of (m_phi, dark temperature, f_hot) to produce a reusable f_hot bound.
Intermediate-mass pseudo-Goldstone boson partial dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0509257 · score 25)The m_I-f_I exclusion rests on a 2001-era WMAP + SDSS + Lyman-alpha + sigma8 combination; no modern CMB and galaxy-clustering likelihood analysis of the fractional intermediate-mass PGB exists, so current limits on f_I cannot be quoted.
proposed resolution: Run axionCAMB or AxiCLASS for the (m_I, f_I) grid inside Cobaya/MontePython with Planck 2018, BAO, and DESI/eBOSS full-shape likelihoods, validating against the paper's historical below-ten-percent bound in the intermediate window.
Frozen-in scalar decay production of keV sterile-neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1306.3996 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for decay-produced nonthermal sterile-neutrino spectra: published warm-dark-matter Lyman-alpha bounds are calibrated on thermal-relic transfer functions, so the model's smooth-cutoff transfer function cannot be robustly confronted with forest data (the card itself notes transfer functions are more reliable than free-streaming estimates).
proposed resolution: Map the CLASS transfer functions for f_N1(p) onto a generalized cutoff parameterization (e.g. the {alpha, beta, gamma} thermal-relic-equivalent scheme) and evaluate them with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (Sherwood- or eBOSS-calibrated), instead of the half-mode area estimate.
Plateau-potential string axion ultralight dark matter (arXiv:1710.00305 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or emulator is calibrated for transfer functions with resonance-enhanced power just below the fuzzy-DM Jeans scale; existing products are built for monotonic suppression shapes, so the claimed relaxation of the Lyman-alpha tension cannot be quantitatively tested.
proposed resolution: Extend an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator (e.g. one built on suppressed-power hydrodynamical grids) with hydrodynamical simulations of bump-plus-cutoff initial power spectra parameterized by (cutoff scale, bump amplitude, bump width), and expose it as a likelihood over (m, alpha, x_osc, omega_ULA).
Cosh-potential scalar-field dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0004332 · score 24)Neither card constraint has a likelihood (likelihood_available: no for both): there is no pipeline recasting modern Lyman-alpha, satellite-count, or rotation-curve data onto the cosh-potential parameter space, so current viability rests on historical order-of-magnitude arguments.
proposed resolution: Map the cosh model onto the standard ULDM/FDM (m_phi, transfer-function) parameterization using the gap_1 solver output, then reuse published Lyman-alpha flux-power and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods for FDM, adding a rotation-curve core comparison for the r_c prediction.
Scalar-mediated self-interacting sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2307.15565 · score 24)Lyman-alpha constraints are applied only through a conservative v_rms-to-thermal-WDM proxy (m_WDM > 1.9 keV screen); no likelihood evaluates the actual nonthermal, self-interaction-reshaped momentum distribution, whose spectral shape can shift the bound.
proposed resolution: Feed the model f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a non-cold relic to obtain the linear transfer function, then apply an area-criterion mapping or a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator likelihood calibrated on hydrodynamic simulations to replace the v_rms proxy.
keV sterile-neutrino warm dark matter with radiative decay (arXiv:0710.5431 · score 24)No packaged joint likelihood exists for the combined structure-formation and X-ray-decay viability constraint: Lyman-alpha bounds are calibrated for thermal WDM or oscillation-produced sterile neutrinos, not for this card's production-dependent spectra, and no single likelihood combines them with radiative-decay X-ray limits (con_0710_wdm_xray_structure_bounds: likelihood_available partial, recasting_needed yes).
proposed resolution: Recast the production-specific transfer functions (gap_1) through existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulators/likelihoods, combine with published X-ray line-search limits (XMM/Chandra/NuSTAR blank-sky) on (m_s, theta), and release the joint likelihood over (m_s, theta, f_s, production mechanism).
Chilled sterile neutrino dark matter from in-equilibrium singlet decays (arXiv:0801.3470 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood applies to this model: the card's bound is a 2008 SDSS free-streaming comparison (k_fs ~ 2/Mpc), and modern Lyman-alpha constraints and emulators are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions rather than the colder nonthermal singlet-decay cutoff shape.
proposed resolution: Map the model's transfer functions onto existing Lyman-alpha analyses via the area-criterion or half-mode matching to thermal-WDM emulators (MIKE/HIRES/eBOSS-based), and validate the mapping with a small set of hydrodynamic simulations for representative chilled spectra.

Dodelson-Widrow sterile-neutrino WDM spectrum model (arXiv:1308.1109 · score 24)No machine-readable Lyman-alpha or linear-structure likelihood exists that accepts the full Dodelson-Widrow non-thermal transfer function; published WDM limits assume thermal-relic spectra and the card says both constraints require recasting with no resolved likelihood.

Hidden-sector glueball dark matter in a late-modulus low-reheat cosmology (arXiv:1704.01804 · score 24)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is supplied for this model (the card states this explicitly); the velocity bound is only approximate, so viable-region boundaries in (Lambda, m_X, T_RH) cannot be given statistical weight.

Thermal dark matter through the Dirac neutrino portal (arXiv:1709.07001 · score 24)No joint likelihood combines the direct-detection, rare-decay, N_eff/BBN, and small-scale-structure probes; the card's global_overlay step is a conservative curve overlay, and the M_cut-to-satellite/Lyman-alpha mapping is explicitly approximate.

Anomaly-free ALP inflaton dark matter for the XENON1T excess (arXiv:2007.10311 · score 24)The warm-DM constraint on the keV thermal ALP is only an order-of-magnitude mapping to sterile-neutrino bounds; no Lyman-alpha or small-scale-structure likelihood exists for a mixed cold-plus-warm scenario with a subdominant (1-100 percent) thermal ALP fraction and its actual momentum distribution.

Degenerate free-fermion dark matter with inflaton-decay production (arXiv:1409.3167 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha (or equivalent small-scale structure) likelihood has been applied to the model's nonthermal cutoff; existing Ly-alpha emulators and bounds are calibrated on thermal-relic WDM transfer functions, not decay-produced spectra.
proposed resolution: Map the CLASS-computed nonthermal transfer function onto the thermal-WDM equivalent via half-mode mass matching and evaluate against a public Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood/emulator, validating the mapping for the peaked decay spectrum.
Non-canonical scalar unified dark matter-dark energy model (arXiv:1510.09010 · score 23)No likelihood recast exists for the model: background-plus-perturbation constraints on (alpha, Omega_0X) have never been run against SNe/BAO/CMB/matter-power data, and small-scale limits are borrowed from thermal WDM transfer functions whose shape differs from a constant-sound-speed suppression.
proposed resolution: Couple the CLASS implementation to Cobaya/MontePython with Planck, BAO, and SNe likelihoods, and add a Lyman-alpha/galaxy-clustering matter-power likelihood evaluated on the model's own transfer function instead of the WDM-mass analogy.
Radiative neutrino-mass model with neutrino-interacting MeV dark matter (arXiv:1512.08796 · score 23)No small-scale structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite counts) is applicable to the damped dark-acoustic-oscillation transfer functions produced by DM-neutrino scattering; existing bounds are parameterized for thermal-WDM-like smooth cutoffs, yet the card states the matter power spectrum gives the stronger constraint on sigma_el.
proposed resolution: Recast a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator and a public satellite-count likelihood in terms of the full linear P(k) (area-criterion or half-mode mapping validated against interacting-DM simulations) so oscillatory suppressed spectra from the modified CLASS run can be scored directly.
Gauge B-L radiative neutrino mass multipartite dark matter (arXiv:1605.00991 · score 23)No reusable likelihood exists for a mixed cold-plus-warm scenario with a fraction-dependent keV component: public Lyman-alpha and X-ray constraints are calibrated for pure thermal WDM or 100% sterile-neutrino dark matter, not for a subdominant warm fraction alongside cold B-L singlets.
proposed resolution: Compute mixed C+WDM transfer functions with CLASS using the derived S prime f(p), and interface them with a fraction-aware Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator (extending existing mixed cold+warm forest analyses) plus X-ray decay limits rescaled by the S prime relic fraction and mixing angle.
Axionlike-particle dark matter produced by primordial magnetic fields (arXiv:1702.03928 · score 23)No likelihood exists for the hot/warm ALP fraction bound: the card records likelihood_available no/unknown for both constraints and notes the exact excluded contours require reproducing the paper's figures, so the structure-suppression exclusion cannot be evaluated quantitatively for a mixed cold-plus-warm ALP population.
proposed resolution: Recast existing mixed cold+warm dark matter Lyman-alpha constraints (Murgia-style area criterion or a mixed C+WDM emulator) onto the (Omega_ALP/Omega_DM, lambda_FS) plane using the transfer functions from the tabulated f(p), and digitize the paper's exclusion contours as a validation target.
General interacting dark sector with dark matter and dark radiation (arXiv:1708.09406 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha or full-shape P(k) likelihood accepts the IDS suppression shape directly; the card warns the shape differs from step-like thermal-WDM mappings (thermal_wdm_mapping available: false), so small-scale constraints on Gamma_0 and f are only approximate recasts.
proposed resolution: Interface the IDS linear T^2(k) to a shape-agnostic Lyman-alpha likelihood/emulator (area-criterion or lym1d-style) and to full-shape galaxy power-spectrum likelihoods, rather than mapping through thermal-WDM equivalent masses.
Fuzzy dark fluid unified scalar (arXiv:2007.05376 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha forest or halo-structure likelihood is connected to the model's small-scale predictions; the card explicitly keeps fuzzy-DM mass limits as context because the comparison step is unimplemented.
proposed resolution: Once the model transfer function is available (gap_3), recast it through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood built for FDM/WDM suppression, and add dwarf-galaxy core-size and rotation-curve comparisons for the soliton predictions.
Thermal-misalignment scalar dark matter (arXiv:2109.04476 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is attached to the model: the fuzzy-DM constraint is applied only as the quoted m_phi > 2e-21 eV threshold rather than a proper flux-power likelihood evaluated for this scalar.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing public fuzzy-DM Lyman-alpha analysis (e.g. an emulator-based forest flux-power likelihood) onto the model's (m_phi, y) plane using the transfer functions from the axionCAMB/AxiCLASS computation.
FIMP dark matter from flavon portals (arXiv:2305.03167 · score 23)No Lyman-alpha likelihood applicable to decay-produced FIMP spectra; the card's constraint is a quoted thermal-WDM-style mass bound (m > ~15 keV) with only an approximate mapping, and no thermal-WDM mapping is validated for this model.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's CLASS transfer functions through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or the area-criterion method calibrated on non-thermal spectra, producing exclusion contours in (n, m_chi, M_S) rather than a borrowed thermal-WDM mass bound.
Dark-quark-nugget dark binaries with a long-range dark force (arXiv:2312.13378 · score 22)No packaged likelihood exists for any of the model's constraints: the SGWB detector comparison, the pre-recombination Delta N_eff bound (which requires the recombination-cutoff integration the paper warns about), and the macroscopic-DM microlensing/accretion/Lyman-alpha abundance bounds exist only as plotted or externally published curves, not machine-readable products.
proposed resolution: Assemble a likelihood package that combines digitized f(M) macroscopic-DM exclusion curves (microlensing, accretion, dwarf-galaxy star survival, Lyman-alpha), public PTA/LISA/ground-based sensitivity curves, and a Delta N_eff module that integrates Omega_GW plus dark-force radiation only up to recombination, exposed as a function of (M, f, alpha).
Dark population transfer sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:2402.13878 · score 22)The small-scale-structure constraint is applied only via a rescaled thermal-relic mass bound (9.7 keV, times a T_DS/T_SM momentum argument); no model-specific transfer function, half-mode mass, or Lyman-alpha/subhalo likelihood exists for the colder internally thermalized N2 spectrum.
proposed resolution: Compute the N2 distribution f(q) with temperature T_DS from the transfer solver, run it through CLASS as an ncdm species to get the linear transfer function over the (m_N2, T_DS/T_SM) plane, and recast against existing Lyman-alpha flux-power and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods.
Axionic mirage mediation axino dark matter (arXiv:0803.3725 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is packaged for this nonthermal cutoff: the card marks likelihood_available as partial and recasting_needed yes, and thermal-WDM mass limits cannot be copied directly onto the decay-produced spectrum.
proposed resolution: Recast the model transfer function through an existing generalized small-scale-suppression Lyman-alpha framework (e.g. the alpha-beta-gamma transfer-function parameterization fits used for non-thermal WDM), producing exclusion contours in (m_axino, decay time).
Resonantly produced 7 keV sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:1403.0954 · score 22)Lyman-alpha and Local Group structure constraints are only partially available and are applied through approximate thermal-WDM mass mappings, which the card flags as invalid for the resonant transfer-function shape (benchmarks should be tested with the exact nonthermal transfer function).
proposed resolution: Recast Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints using an emulator trained on shape-varying (non-thermal) cutoffs fed the exact CLASS transfer functions for each L_4, instead of quoting a single thermal-WDM equivalent mass.
U(1)_R lepton-number model with keV sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1411.1525 · score 22)Structure-formation constraints beyond the analytic phase-space floor are not applicable yet: Lyman-alpha limits were not applied, and existing Lyman-alpha emulators are calibrated for thermal-relic WDM, not for this model's (currently unknown) nonthermal sterile-neutrino distribution.
proposed resolution: Once f(p) is derived (gap_1), map the resulting transfer function to an equivalent thermal-WDM mass via half-mode matching and apply published Lyman-alpha thermal-WDM likelihoods/emulators, validating the mapping for the nonthermal shape.
Higgs-singlet higher-dimensional-operator ultralight axion (arXiv:1703.07779 · score 22)No observational likelihoods are implemented for this model's (m_a, F, axion fraction) space: the card lists an empty likelihoods array and its caveats flag Lyman-alpha, black-hole superradiance, and CMB isocurvature constraints as needing external likelihood work.
proposed resolution: Assemble a constraint module over (m_a, F, Omega_a fraction): recast published fuzzy-DM Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints via axionCAMB/axiCLASS transfer functions, add black-hole superradiance exclusion bands in m_a, and evaluate CMB isocurvature bounds for the F ~ 1e16-1e18 GeV misalignment scenario.
Supersymmetric instanton-generated ultralight axion (arXiv:1703.07779 · score 22)No likelihood connects the instanton-axion transfer function to small-scale-structure data: the route's likelihoods list is empty and the card states Lyman-alpha, superradiance, and CMB isocurvature likelihoods were not evaluated for the targeted m_a-F window.
proposed resolution: Couple axionCAMB/AxiCLASS transfer functions, parameterized by (m_a, axion fraction), to existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulators and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, and impose published superradiance and isocurvature exclusion curves as priors on (m_a, F).
Light asymmetric Bose gas dark matter with present-day condensate (arXiv:1709.00436 · score 22)The Lyman-alpha lower-mass bound near 10^-20 eV is quoted from debated external literature (likelihood_available: unknown, recasting_needed: yes); no dedicated Lyman-alpha likelihood recast exists for the condensed conserved-charge scenario, so ultralight allowed regions cannot be marked robust.
proposed resolution: Once model transfer functions exist (gap_1), recast them through a public Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/compressed likelihood calibrated for suppressed-power cosmologies to derive a model-specific ultralight mass bound replacing the debated literature value.
Dark glueballs with associated ultralight axion dark matter (arXiv:1805.06011 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood exists for a mixed cosmology in which an ultralight axion (m_a ~ 1e-23 to 1e-21 eV) is only a fraction of the dark matter with the rest in cold glueballs; existing FDM bounds assume a 100 percent fuzzy component and the card notes the literature disagrees even on those.
proposed resolution: Extend axionCAMB to two-component (ULA fraction plus CDM-like glueball) linear power spectra and run or emulate hydrodynamical Lyman-alpha forest simulations over (m_a, Omega_a/Omega_DM), building a flux-power likelihood analogous to existing WDM/FDM forest analyses.
Leptophilic light flavon hot-relic model (arXiv:1812.10963 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha or small-scale-structure likelihood exists for a subdominant hot flavon fraction: the paper's order-one-percent hot-relic criterion is an estimate, and published mixed cold+hot bounds are calibrated for thermal non-cold species, not this model's freeze-out/freeze-in mixture.
proposed resolution: Recast mixed cold+hot dark matter Lyman-alpha constraints (e.g. the 1702.01764-style f_ncdm bounds or a Lyman-alpha flux emulator) onto the (f_eta, m_eta) plane using the model's transfer functions, replacing the one-percent rule of thumb with a proper likelihood.
Self-interacting sterile-neutrino dark matter with heavy scalar mediator (arXiv:1903.08296 · score 22)No packaged X-ray line or structure (phase-space, subhalo, Lyman-alpha, reionization) likelihood exists for this model's nonthermal momentum distribution, which differs from both Dodelson-Widrow and thermal spectra; current constraints are overlaid exclusion curves derived for other spectra.
proposed resolution: Build a recast pipeline that takes the solver output f_s(p), computes the transfer function with CLASS using a tabulated non-cold distribution, and applies Lyman-alpha emulator and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, plus a digitized X-ray line likelihood in the (m_s, theta) plane.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with scalar-mediated neutrino NSI (arXiv:2111.04087 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for the model's nonthermal, cosmology-dependent momentum distributions; the paper explicitly omits plotted Lyman-alpha exclusions because standard thermal-WDM mass bounds do not map directly onto NSI-modified spectra.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold-dark-matter species to obtain T(k), then apply an area-criterion or emulator-based Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. built on existing WDM/sterile-neutrino forest analyses) valid for general suppressed spectra.
Multifield ultralight dark matter (arXiv:2301.07114 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or flux-power emulator is calibrated for multifield/fractional ULDM suppression shapes; the published m_a > 2e-20 eV bound applies only to canonical single-field all-of-DM axions and cannot be applied to N-field mixtures directly.
proposed resolution: Recalibrate a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator on hydrodynamic simulations initialized with multifield ULA transfer functions (spanning N, mass ratios, and fractions), or recast the existing single-field likelihood via a matched-suppression mapping validated against a few dedicated hydro runs.
Mixed collisionless dark matter free-streaming model (arXiv:0711.0470 · score 22)No small-scale-structure likelihood (Lyman-alpha forest, satellite counts, or strong-lensing subhalos) is valid for general mixed cold+warm transfer-function shapes; published bounds assume a single thermal-WDM cutoff and the card warns against substituting a thermal relic mapping for these nonthermal mixtures.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing satellite-count likelihood and a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator onto a general transfer-function parameterization (e.g. the alpha-beta-gamma fitting form) so mixed-model transfer functions from gap_1 can be scored directly, instead of through an invalid thermal-WDM mass mapping.
Scalar-decay sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0807.0646 · score 22)No Lyman-alpha forest likelihood is packaged that accepts the scalar-decay transfer functions: the claimed relief of the X-ray versus Lyman-alpha tension from the low-momentum-enhanced spectrum cannot be tested because only thermal-relic comparisons and old literature bounds are available (likelihood_available: no).
proposed resolution: Run the model T(k) through a modern public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES-class) using the exact nonthermal spectrum rather than a thermal-equivalent mass, delivering a likelihood over (m_s, M, Y, T_dec).
Vector dark matter freeze-in through magnetic dipole interactions (arXiv:2210.06487 · score 22)Lyman-alpha, strong-lensing, and Milky Way satellite constraints are calibrated for thermal WDM transfer functions, and no validated recast exists for the nonthermal magnetic-dipole freeze-in momentum distribution (UV-dominated production near T_RH), so the warm-structure bound on (m_Aprime, d_f, T_RH) is only approximate.
proposed resolution: Compute the freeze-in f(p) from the dipole collision term, implement it in the CLASS ncdm sector to obtain the transfer function, and map to existing thermal-WDM-calibrated likelihoods via a half-mode-mass or area-criterion matching validated against a Lyman-alpha flux emulator; report where the shape mismatch invalidates the mapping.
Nonthermal decay-produced dark matter for the Hubble tension (arXiv:2211.14345 · score 22)No structure-formation likelihood exists for the hot fraction f: the limit f ~ 0.01 is an order-of-magnitude argument, with no transfer-function-based galaxy-clustering or Lyman-alpha likelihood computed for the decay-produced daughter velocity distribution.
proposed resolution: Using the extended Boltzmann solver from gap_1, compute P(k) suppression versus (f, k_fs) and confront it with galaxy power spectra at k = 0.02-0.2 h/Mpc and existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator constraints, recasting mixed cold+hot DM bounds onto (tau, f, mass ratio).
Spin-zero no-freeze-in/no-freeze-out warm dark matter (arXiv:2308.10356 · score 22)Published Lyman-alpha forest limits apply only to thermal-relic WDM; no Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator accepts the colder no-freeze-in/no-freeze-out transfer function, so the translated limit rests on an approximate temperature-ratio rescaling.
proposed resolution: Recast an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. the Vid-Irsic-style or PRIYA/Sherwood-based WDM emulators) in terms of generic transfer-function suppression parameters (alpha, beta, gamma or half-mode scale) and evaluate it on the model's exact transfer function from gap_1.
Approximate-PQ electroweak supersymmetry with singlino LSP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0405109 · score 22)The warm-DM bound on the singlino rests on a WMAP-era reionization argument (m_s > ~10 keV); no modern Lyman-alpha or Milky Way satellite likelihood has been applied to the model's nonthermal, entropy-diluted transfer function.
proposed resolution: Feed the diluted singlino f(p) from gap_2 into CLASS to obtain T(k), then constrain it with public Lyman-alpha flux-power emulators and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods, mapping the result back to (m_s, D) instead of the obsolete 10 keV estimate.
Inert-Sterile neutrino dark matter (arXiv:0912.2478 · score 21)The Lyman-alpha bound exists only as a thermal/conventional sterile-neutrino equivalent mass limit (m_s > 2.0 keV), and the card flags that no valid thermal-WDM mapping exists for this nonthermal decay-produced spectrum, so no likelihood can be applied to warm benchmarks.
proposed resolution: Recast the model's computed transfer functions through a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator or the area-criterion method calibrated on WDM hydrodynamic simulations, producing a bound directly in (M1, m_eta_L, T_decay) space instead of a thermal-equivalent mass substitution.
R-parity violating axino warm dark matter (arXiv:1403.1782 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha likelihood has been run for the 7 keV axino's nonthermal transfer function (likelihood listed as unavailable, recast required), so the reported tension of thermal-bath 7 keV axinos with Ly-alpha data cannot be quantified for this model's actual production history.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f_axino(q) into CLASS, compute T(k), and evaluate it against a Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood/emulator that accepts general cutoff shapes rather than a single thermal-WDM mass.
Dark-atom self-interacting dark matter with dark acoustic oscillations (arXiv:1405.2075 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood valid for oscillatory DAO spectra: existing Ly-alpha analyses and emulators are built on smooth thermal-WDM-like cutoffs, and the card flags that mapping them onto the dark-atom transfer functions without dedicated hydrodynamical modeling can misclassify the benchmarks.
proposed resolution: Train an extended Ly-alpha flux-power emulator on hydrodynamical simulations that include oscillatory DAO initial power spectra (parameterized by r_DAO, damping scale, and interacting fraction), marginalizing over IGM thermal history and feedback, and release it as a likelihood usable on the benchmark spectra.
Many-body decaying dark matter with relativistic daughters (arXiv:1410.0683 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha or weak-lensing likelihood covers the many-body decay's late-time scale-dependent suppression; existing Ly-alpha emulators are calibrated on LCDM/WDM-like power spectra and the related-work constraints (arXiv:2210.06117-style) apply to two-body kinematics only.
proposed resolution: Validate an effective-parameter compression (amplitude and redshift of power suppression) of the many-body model against an existing Ly-alpha flux-power emulator, or retrain the emulator on hydro/N-body runs with the many-body linear input spectra.
Non-thermal fermionic dark matter in an anomaly-free B-L extension (arXiv:1612.02793 · score 21)There is no pipeline from the nonthermal distribution f_psi1(p) to a proper structure-formation likelihood: the coldness verdict rests on a lambda_fs threshold proxy rather than a transfer function confronted with Lyman-alpha (or CMB) data, so borderline-warm parameter regions cannot be judged.
proposed resolution: Feed the tabulated f_psi1(p) into CLASS as a non-cold relic (ncdm with a tabulated phase-space distribution) to compute the linear transfer function, then recast against a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or WDM-style emulator to obtain fraction- and spectrum-dependent bounds.
Stable fermion dark matter from decays of gravitationally produced superheavy particles (arXiv:2006.02225 · score 21)No small-scale structure likelihood recast exists for this model: the coldness requirement is a heuristic threshold, and no Lyman-alpha forest or satellite-count constraint has been mapped onto the (m_chi, m_S, y) parameter space.
proposed resolution: Once the transfer function from gap_1 is available, recast existing Lyman-alpha flux-power constraints (via half-mode-mass matching to warm-dark-matter limits or a public flux-power emulator) and Milky Way satellite-count likelihoods into a lower bound on y as a function of m_chi and m_S, replacing the 1 keV coldness heuristic.
Gravitational-genesis two-component dark matter (arXiv:2110.14660 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha or small-scale-structure likelihood exists for this mixed cold (PBH relic) plus warm (evaporation-produced particle) dark matter scenario; the route explicitly lists the Lyman-alpha recast as unavailable.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed mixed C+W transfer functions onto published Lyman-alpha WDM bounds using an area-criterion or half-mode matching for the warm fraction (following existing mixed cold+warm DM Lyman-alpha analyses), or run the transfer functions through a public Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator with a warm-fraction parameterization.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with B-L vector NSI (arXiv:2111.04087 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for the model's nonthermal, cosmology-dependent momentum distributions; the paper explicitly omits plotted Lyman-alpha exclusions because standard thermal-WDM mass bounds do not map directly onto NSI-modified spectra.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold-dark-matter species to obtain T(k), then apply an area-criterion or emulator-based Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. built on existing WDM/sterile-neutrino forest analyses) valid for general suppressed spectra.
Sterile neutrino dark matter with neutrinophilic vector NSI (arXiv:2111.04087 · score 21)No Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for the model's nonthermal, cosmology-dependent momentum distributions; the paper explicitly omits plotted Lyman-alpha exclusions because standard thermal-WDM mass bounds do not map directly onto NSI-modified spectra.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f_s(p) into CLASS/CAMB as a tabulated non-cold-dark-matter species to obtain T(k), then apply an area-criterion or emulator-based Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood (e.g. built on existing WDM/sterile-neutrino forest analyses) valid for general suppressed spectra.
Kerr primordial-black-hole evaporated non-cold dark matter (arXiv:2207.09462 · score 21)No end-to-end likelihood evaluation exists for the PBH-emitted non-cold spectra: the Lyman-alpha constraint is imposed by matching the CLASS transfer-function cutoff to thermal-WDM reference bounds rather than evaluating the actual T(k) in a Lyman-alpha likelihood, and the BBN/CMB Delta N_eff limits are taken from review tables instead of being recomputed for each (M_in, a_star, beta_prime) point.
proposed resolution: Fit the FRISBHEE+CLASS transfer functions to the standard {alpha, beta, gamma} non-cold parameterization and reuse published Lyman-alpha MCMC posteriors on that space, and wire Delta N_eff and evaporation-epoch outputs into a Planck lite plus BBN (PArthENoPE/PRIMAT-style) likelihood, packaged as a scan over (M_in, a_star, beta_prime, m_DM, s_DM).
Sterile neutrino dark matter from matter-antimatter separation at the QCD phase transition (arXiv:2309.13376 · score 21)No pipeline turns the domain-produced nonthermal spectrum f_N(p) into a linear transfer function and Lyman-alpha likelihood; the card explicitly warns that using a thermal or Dodelson-Widrow proxy spectrum would misstate the model.
proposed resolution: Pass the computed f_N(p) into CLASS as a tabulated ncdm distribution to obtain transfer functions, then recast against Lyman-alpha flux-power data via an emulator-based likelihood covering mixed cold-plus-warm and cool resonant spectra.
Self-interacting warm dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0003046 · score 21)No likelihood exists that constrains the SI-WDM shifted cutoff against modern small-scale data: the card provides no thermal-WDM mapping, so standard Lyman-alpha and Milky Way satellite bounds calibrated on collisionless-WDM transfer-function shapes cannot be applied directly.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed SI-WDM transfer functions through a shape-agnostic Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator (or the half-mode/area criterion validated against hydrodynamic simulations) and through subhalo/satellite-count likelihoods parameterized by the full T(k) rather than a thermal WDM mass.
Nonthermal sterile neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0511630 · score 21)No ready-to-run Lyman-alpha forest likelihood or emulator is interfaced to the nonthermal sterile-neutrino transfer function; the card's mass bound relies on an approximate thermal-WDM mapping that the paper itself warns against for this spectrally distorted distribution.
proposed resolution: Compute T(k) from the tabulated f_s(p) with CLASS ncdm and feed it to a public compressed Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES style), replacing the thermal-relic-equivalent mapping with a direct nonthermal recast.
Bolon coupled dark matter from dilatation anomaly (arXiv:1012.1175 · score 20)No bolon-specific likelihood exists and the generic interacting-DE and scalar-DM Jeans constraints cited by the card apply only after an unperformed recast of (alpha, beta, lambda, chi_0) onto phenomenological coupling Q and transfer-function-cutoff parameters.
proposed resolution: Once the modified solver exists, run it inside MontePython/Cobaya against public Planck, BAO, SNIa, and growth likelihoods, and map the predicted small-scale cutoff to WDM-style half-mode-mass bounds from Milky Way satellite counts and Lyman-alpha data.
Dodelson-Widrow sterile-neutrino WDM halo model (arXiv:1109.6291 · score 20)No Lyman-alpha flux-power or weak-lensing/substructure likelihood is connected to the DW sterile-neutrino transfer function; existing limits were quoted from thermal-relic analyses without rerunning likelihoods or IGM thermal histories.
proposed resolution: Recast a public Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. the compressed area-criterion or an MP-Gadget/Sherwood-based emulator) to accept DW sterile-neutrino T(k), marginalizing over IGM thermal-history nuisances, and add a lensing/substructure likelihood on the suppressed halo statistics.
Thermal-equilibrium fermionic WDM primordial-spectrum model (arXiv:1308.1109 · score 20)No machine-readable likelihood connects this model's thermal-WDM transfer function or k_1/2 to Lyman-alpha forest and high-redshift structure data; both constraints are marked recasting_needed with no resolved likelihood, so the data_compare step cannot produce a numerical exclusion.
proposed resolution: Interface the paper's T(k)/k_1/2 outputs with a public Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator (e.g. eBOSS/MIKE-HIRES compressed WDM likelihoods) that accepts a generic transfer-function cutoff, and wire the mapping m_FD -> T(k) into it.
Non-Abelian WIMP multiplet dark matter with dark gluon radiation (arXiv:1505.03542 · score 20)No CMB+BAO+Lyman-alpha likelihood pipeline has been assembled for this model's smooth power damping and interacting-radiation Delta N_eff; existing constraints are quoted only as conservative order-of-magnitude bounds requiring parameter translation.
proposed resolution: Couple the ETHOS-CLASS implementation from the collision-term derivation to Planck+BAO likelihoods in Cobaya/MontePython, and add a compressed Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator recast validated for smooth (non-cutoff) suppression shapes.
Starobinsky inflaton-decay hidden scalar dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 20)No transfer-function computation or structure-formation likelihood exists for this decay-produced 10-100 keV scalar: the strong disfavoring of the L_FS ~ 10 Mpc minimal case and the viability of the ~0.1 Mpc nonminimal case are source-level statements never confronted with Lyman-alpha forest or Milky Way satellite-count data.
proposed resolution: Run CLASS with the derived f(p) as a non-cold relic to get the suppression scale, map to a thermal-WDM-equivalent mass, and evaluate against existing Lyman-alpha emulator likelihoods and MW satellite-count constraints, exposing the result in (m_X, xi_X, xi_h).
Sterile-neutrino dark matter from Higgs-singlet decays (arXiv:hep-ph/0609081 · score 20)No Lyman-alpha likelihood applies to the colder decay-produced spectrum: existing Lyman-alpha bounds and emulators are calibrated for thermal-WDM or Dodelson-Widrow spectra, so the paper's central claim (bound relaxed from 10 keV to about 2.7 keV) has never been tested against a modern flux-power likelihood.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(p) into CLASS's non-cold-relic sector to obtain T(k), then evaluate against a modern Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator using a generalized suppression-shape (area-criterion) mapping instead of the thermal-mass rescaling.
Relativistic Bose-Einstein condensate scalar dark matter cosmology (arXiv:0705.3091 · score 19)No likelihood pipeline connects the BEC particle parameters (m, a_s, lambda) to rotation-curve, minimum-halo, or Lyman-alpha data for this model; existing constraints in the card are analytic recasts from related papers with likelihood_available: no.
proposed resolution: Wrap the gap_2 transfer function into an existing Lyman-alpha/WDM-style likelihood and build a SPARC-based rotation-curve likelihood over the Thomas-Fermi (m, a_s) halo model, validating against the quoted m ~ 2.92e-22 eV noninteracting and a_s-bounded repulsive regions.
Light gravitino dark matter scenarios (arXiv:1004.4213 · score 19)No current Lyman-alpha likelihood exists for a mixed hot-thermal-gravitino plus CDM density fraction; the only quoted bound is the historical WMAP+Ly-alpha m_3/2 < 16 eV result at fixed effective temperature, which does not cover nonstandard-dilution or heavier all-DM scenarios.

Resonant MSM sterile-neutrino dark matter with technically natural N2-N3 degeneracy (arXiv:1006.4008 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha likelihood or emulator handles the nonthermal resonantly-produced N1 spectrum; existing Ly-alpha constraints are calibrated on thermal-WDM transfer functions, and the card flags that a thermal-equivalent mass proxy can misstate the viable region.
proposed resolution: Build a Ly-alpha flux-power emulator over CLASS transfer functions generated from resonant-DM phase-space distributions (parameterized by M_1, theta, L), validated with a small suite of hydrodynamic simulations, or rigorously validate an area-criterion mapping onto existing thermal-WDM likelihoods.
Froggatt-Nielsen keV sterile-neutrino dark matter, Scenario A (arXiv:1105.5136 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha forest (or dwarf-count) likelihood is available that accepts a general nonthermal sterile-neutrino transfer function; existing thermal-WDM mass bounds cannot be applied directly to the FN spectrum (constraint marked recast_required, likelihood_available: no).

sterile-neutrino dark matter from light vector boson decay (arXiv:1403.2727 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha/small-scale-structure likelihood or validated thermal-equivalent mapping exists for the decay-produced, colder-than-thermal spectrum (k/T about 2.4-2.5); the card flags that the 7.1 keV benchmark cannot be declared allowed from the lambda_FS estimate alone.
proposed resolution: Feed the computed f(q) into CLASS as a tabulated ncdm distribution, compute transfer functions across the parameter grid, and recast against existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods/emulators (e.g. the standard WDM area-criterion or MIKE/HIRES+XQ-100 based likelihoods) to derive bounds directly on (m_s, M_Zprime, g_prime).

proposed resolution: Generate linear matter power spectra with axionCAMB/AxiCLASS over a (m, F_scalar) grid and evaluate them against a public Ly-alpha flux-power likelihood or emulator calibrated on hydrodynamic simulation grids (Sherwood/Nyx-style), reproducing the 1708.00015 contour as validation before extending to arbitrary fractions.
XC charged dark matter with a light C particle (arXiv:1702.05482 · score 19)Small-scale structure is constrained only through the proxy criterion z_dec > 10^6 (CDM-like power for k < 10 h/Mpc); no Lyman-alpha or subhalo-count likelihood exists for the model's oscillatory, DAO-suppressed transfer functions, and the Planck N_eff constraint is applied as a summary bound rather than a bundled likelihood (likelihood_available: no/partial).
proposed resolution: Recast existing Lyman-alpha flux-power likelihoods (or ETHOS/WDM emulator-based bounds) onto the model's DAO transfer functions via an area-criterion or half-mode mapping, and wrap Planck N_eff plus H0 inference as a joint likelihood over (xi, Delta N_eff).
Subpercent minicharged dark matter (arXiv:1802.10094 · score 19)None of the listed likelihoods is actually available for this model: the CMB scattering (Neff/mu-distortion and drag) limits, Lyman-alpha matter-power limits, and stellar/SN1987A/SLAC millicharge bounds are cited qualitatively without recast likelihoods, and no global 21-cm signal likelihood (EDGES-like, with astrophysical marginalization) is attached (likelihood_available: no/partial, recasting_needed: yes).

Despicable dark relic non-minimally coupled scalar dark matter (arXiv:1808.08236 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha constraint exists for this model's light (sub-keV) relics: existing Lyman-alpha bounds and emulators are calibrated to thermal warm dark matter, while these relics have a nonthermal (or dark-thermalized, T_dark < T_gamma) distribution whose free-streaming differs from an equal-mass thermal relic, so sub-keV parameter points cannot be accepted or excluded.

Self-interacting ultra-light axion-like Bose-Einstein-condensate dark matter (arXiv:2103.12342 · score 19)No Lyman-alpha (or other small-scale structure) likelihood accepts the self-interaction-modified BEC transfer function; the cited m > 2e-21 eV bound comes from free-ULA analyses whose cutoff shape and thermal-history marginalization do not transfer directly to this model.
proposed resolution: Interface the self-interacting BEC transfer functions with an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator/likelihood (e.g. the Rogers-Peiris ULA pipeline or lym-alpha compressed likelihoods), marginalizing over IGM thermal history, to produce joint (m, lambda_s) bounds.
Starobinsky inflaton-decay massive Abelian vector dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 19)No likelihood exists mapping the decay-produced vector's small-scale power suppression onto current structure-formation data; the coldness constraint is currently only a qualitative free-streaming argument.
proposed resolution: Recast published Lyman-alpha forest and Milky Way satellite-count WDM limits onto the nonthermal vector spectrum via half-mode-mass matching of the CLASS ncdm transfer function, or run the spectrum through an existing Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator to produce an m_X - (g v) exclusion curve.
Two-component wave dark matter with distinct boson masses (arXiv:2212.14288 · score 19)All small-scale constraints on the model are single-component FDM bounds needing recast: no likelihood exists that maps ultrafaint-dwarf granule heating, satellite counts, or Lyman-alpha flux power onto the two-component (m_major, m_minor, f_major) parameter space.

Instantaneously decaying WIMP warm dark matter (arXiv:2305.10315 · score 19)No public likelihood exists for the SDSS DLA/HI collapsed-fraction lower limits used to constrain the warm tail of this model; the paper's comparison relies on private halo-threshold-mass modeling and the card flags recasting_needed for the Lyman-alpha/HI constraint.
proposed resolution: Build a MontePython/cobaya likelihood module that maps a suppressed matter power spectrum to halo collapsed fractions (Sheth-Tormen or simulation-calibrated mass function with WDM correction) and compares to SDSS DLA/HI lower limits at threshold masses 1e10 and 5e10 Msun, exposing the host-mass mapping as a nuisance parameter.
Dark group warm dark baryon model (arXiv:astro-ph/0212275 · score 19)No modern likelihood recast exists for the model: the BBN/Neff energy-density bound and the free-streaming criterion are applied only as early-2000s analytic bounds (likelihood_available: no for both constraints), with no Lyman-alpha, satellite-count, or CMB/Neff pipeline connected.
proposed resolution: Once transfer functions exist, recast standard WDM Lyman-alpha likelihoods/emulators and Milky Way satellite counts onto (Lambda_c, T_D/T_gamma), and apply Planck Neff and background-expansion (SN/BAO) likelihoods to the pre-condensation radiation and w_DE predictions.
Boson-decay sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1011.2217 · score 18)Lyman-alpha and satellite-count limits are quoted only for thermal-relic or Dodelson-Widrow distributions; no likelihood or validated mass-mapping exists that recasts these bounds onto the colder boson-decay distribution with g_d ~ 100.

Starobinsky-produced dark SU(N) glueball dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 17)No likelihood or transfer-function recast tests the glueball scenario against structure-formation data: the combined abundance/coldness/self-interaction verdict is a source-level statement, with no mapping of the cannibalized glueball momentum distribution and sigma/m onto Lyman-alpha, Milky Way satellite, or cluster/dwarf SIDM constraints.
proposed resolution: Compute the glueball transfer function with a CLASS non-cold-relic run seeded by the post-cannibalism phase-space distribution, map suppression to thermal-WDM-equivalent Lyman-alpha and satellite-count limits, and combine with existing SIDM cluster/dwarf constraint compilations for sigma/m.
DFSZ axino dark matter in the Kim-Nilles mechanism (arXiv:1104.2219 · score 14)No Lyman-alpha likelihood is available for nonthermal axino transfer functions: the quoted ~5.3 keV thermal-WDM bound and the 7 keV comparison are borrowed thermal-relic mappings, and the card marks the recast (con_freezein_axino_lya_recast) as required but not performed.
proposed resolution: Recast the computed nonthermal transfer functions against Ly-alpha forest data using an area-criterion or half-mode mapping onto published thermal-WDM limits as a first pass, and for a proper likelihood connect them to a Lyman-alpha flux-power emulator trained on hydrodynamical simulations that accepts general suppressed transfer functions.

Mixed cold plus minimal cannibal dark matter (arXiv:1803.08062 · score 41)No public Boltzmann-code implementation of the cannibal fluid exists: the logarithmic temperature history, w_can(a), sound speed, and fluid perturbation equations for a percent-level cannibal subcomponent coexisting with cold dark matter are written in the paper but not available in CLASS or CAMB, so R(k) cannot be computed with public tools.

Ghost dark matter (arXiv:1001.4634 · score 23)No Boltzmann solver implements the ghost-dark-matter fluid perturbations, i.e. a component with time-dependent sound speed c_s^2 = rho_gdm/M^4 plus the higher-derivative (k^4/M^2) gradient term, so the predicted power-law Jeans suppression cannot be computed numerically.

Degenerate free-fermion dark matter with inflaton-decay production (arXiv:1409.3167 · score 23)No transfer-function calculation exists for the inflaton-decay quasi-monochromatic momentum distribution; the free-streaming constraint currently relies on the crude lambda_FS < 0.5 Mpc criterion instead of an actual linear power spectrum.
proposed resolution: Tabulate the redshifted decay-produced f(p) and feed it to CLASS as a non-cold ncdm species with a custom phase-space distribution, producing T(k) over the (m_f, Br, m_phi/T_RH) plane.

proposed resolution: Extend DRAKE (or micrOMEGAs' hidden-sector mode) to a closed sector parameterized by (m_chi, m_phi, g_chi, g_l, r_BBN): add the dark-radiation bath temperature evolution, velocity-dependent Sommerfeld annihilation, and kinetic-decoupling tracking, validating moment-method output against full phase-space solutions as done in the primary paper.
Closed-sector scalar-mediator SIDM (arXiv:1712.01246 · score 22)No released CLASS/CAMB module implements this model's scalar-mediated chi-dark-radiation coupling with a time-dependent energy/entropy injection from reannihilation, so the matter transfer function, dark-acoustic damping, and CMB expansion-history response cannot be computed with public code; simple constant-N_eff limits are explicitly insufficient.

Ballistic Dark Matter (arXiv:1811.00028 · score 22)The CAMB/CLASS implementation of the BDM species (time-dependent w_B(z) from 1/3 to 0 with inherited acoustic velocity perturbations) is unreleased: no repository, patch, or module is public, so transfer functions and spectra cannot be reproduced without rewriting the fluid equations in a Boltzmann code.
proposed resolution: Reimplement the BDM fluid in public CLASS as a new species with parameterized w(z), sound speed, and vanishing anisotropic stress (following the paper's synchronous-gauge equations with a trace CDM component), and release it as a documented fork validated against the paper's example spectra.

Logotropic dark fluid (arXiv:1505.00034 · score 22)No modified Boltzmann solver implements the logotropic unified dark fluid: the CLASS/CAMB modification named in the route is a planned recast target, so the matter transfer function, CMB spectra, and the k-range of the sound-speed suppression cannot be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the logotropic background (rest-mass plus internal-energy split) and the derived perturbation closure as a fluid module in CLASS, validating that the Jeans length reproduces the quoted lambda_J=40.4 pc at the start of the matter era and that the A->0 limit recovers LambdaCDM.
Nonthermal decay-produced dark matter for the Hubble tension (arXiv:2211.14345 · score 22)No Boltzmann-solver implementation exists for this scenario's transient hot subcomponent: a massive daughter born relativistic at tau ~ 10^2-10^4 s that cools to cold DM by matter-radiation equality, with its nonthermal decay-produced momentum distribution; the public CLASS dcdm module treats massless daughters and cannot produce the H0 response or P(k) suppression for this model.

Dark-atom self-interacting dark matter with dark acoustic oscillations (arXiv:1405.2075 · score 21)No public Boltzmann implementation of the full atomic-dark-matter drag rate: the DM-DR coupling here is set by dark recombination (Rayleigh scattering off neutral dark atoms plus Compton scattering off residual ions), which the generic ETHOS power-law parameterization in modified CLASS does not capture, so the oscillatory transfer function cannot be computed precisely for arbitrary (m_P, m_E, alpha_D, xi).
proposed resolution: Extend a public ETHOS-type CLASS branch with the atomic-DM recombination history and the resulting time-dependent drag rate (Rayleigh plus Compton terms) as model-level inputs, validated against the primary paper's benchmark spectra at k ~ 1-10 h/Mpc.
Many-body decaying dark matter with relativistic daughters (arXiv:1410.0683 · score 21)No Boltzmann-solver implementation exists for the many-body decay kinematics (many massless daughters plus a stationary massive daughter with radiation fraction epsilon up to 1); existing public decaying-DM CLASS/CAMB branches implement either pure DM-to-dark-radiation decay or two-body kinematics, so the many-body perturbation equations are only approximately mapped.

Type-I seesaw Majoron warm dark matter completion (arXiv:1903.03631 · score 21)No public Boltzmann-solver implementation treats a warm keV Majoron with nonthermal f(p) that decays to neutrinos; existing CLASS decaying-DM branches assume cold DM decaying to dark radiation and do not combine warmness with the J -> nu nu channel needed for the CMB and matter-power predictions.
proposed resolution: Extend a CLASS decaying-dark-matter branch to an ncdm species with tabulated f(p) and a decay term feeding the neutrino sector, validated by reproducing the cited decaying-Majoron CMB results (arXiv:0705.2406) in the cold limit.
Hidden supersymmetric N=1 Yang-Mills dark sector (arXiv:2304.05431 · score 21)No Boltzmann implementation exists for the full production history: freeze-in through the singlet connector followed by hidden-sector self-thermalization (cannibalistic number-changing processes) and confinement, so the relic abundance and the DM momentum distribution relevant for the structure-formation lower bound rest on an analytic estimate.
proposed resolution: Implement the UV freeze-in collision term for the N N Tr(WW)/M_N^2 operator in a coupled visible/hidden temperature Boltzmann code (extending a micrOMEGAs freeze-in module or a dedicated two-temperature solver with 3-to-2 cannibalism and the confinement entropy transfer), outputting Omega h^2 and the free-streaming length over the (T_rh, M_N, N_c, m_DM) band.
Bino-like neutralino CDM with damping cutoff (arXiv:astro-ph/0104173 · score 21)No Boltzmann-solver implementation computes the full neutralino transfer-function cutoff (acoustic damping during kinetic decoupling plus free streaming) for chosen MSSM benchmarks; the card's M_min is an order-of-magnitude semi-analytic estimate with values ranging 1e-7 to 1e-6 Msun across sources.
proposed resolution: Map the bino-lepton relaxation rate into an ETHOS-style dark-matter/radiation coupling in a modified CLASS, using DarkSUSY or micrOMEGAs to supply the MSSM scattering amplitudes, and compute the linear transfer function and M_min per benchmark.
Baryon-including generalized Chaplygin gas quartessence (arXiv:astro-ph/0303564 · score 21)No full Boltzmann implementation of the baryon-plus-generalized-Chaplygin quartessence exists: the paper's ODE integration starts at z=100 with assumed initial conditions and computes only the linear matter side, so the CMB observable (obs_chaplygin_cmb_background) is judged only from related dark-energy-framing literature, not computed for this baryon-including model.
proposed resolution: Implement the generalized Chaplygin gas as a fluid with c_s^2 = -alpha*w in CLASS alongside standard baryons, with proper radiation-era initial conditions, to produce self-consistent C_l and P(k) for the quartessence case.
Interacting quintessence cold dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0407196 · score 21)No Boltzmann-code implementation exists for the exact two-scalar iQCDM Lagrangian (quintessence exponentially coupled to a scalar iCDM component plus uncoupled nCDM): the perturbation equations, effective sound speed, and momentum-transfer terms for the scalar iCDM field have not been derived and coded, so CMB spectra, matter power spectra, and growth rates cannot be computed beyond the background level.
proposed resolution: Derive the linear perturbation equations for the coupled quintessence/scalar-iCDM/nCDM system from the explicit Lagrangian and implement them in an interacting-dark-energy branch of CLASS or CAMB, validating the background against the paper's tracking solution.
Bolon coupled dark matter from dilatation anomaly (arXiv:1012.1175 · score 20)No Boltzmann code implements the coupled two-scalar cosmon-bolon cosmology: the route names only a 'CLASS/CAMB-style interacting scalar perturbation implementation' that does not exist, so CMB spectra, the matter power spectrum, and the bolon small-scale cutoff cannot be produced.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS (building on its quintessence and AxiCLASS oscillating-scalar infrastructure) with the exponential cosmon-bolon potential, the averaged bolon fluid from gap_1, and early-dark-energy background evolution; validate against the paper's equality estimate and the uncoupled ultralight-scalar limit.

Thermal wino dark matter with inelastic kinetic decoupling (arXiv:1901.09992 · score 20)No public Boltzmann solver implements the full perturbation hierarchy for wino dark matter with inelastic neutral-charged kinetic coupling: the ETHOS-style parameterizations in modified CLASS/CAMB cover elastic DM-radiation scattering, not the two-state inelastic conversion that produces the wino's dark acoustic oscillations with overshooting, so the transfer function relies on approximate analytic estimates with calibration factors carried over from bino studies.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS (building on the ETHOS interacting-dark-matter framework) with a two-component wino sector including the temperature-dependent inelastic chi0-chi+ conversion rate and the coupled Fokker-Planck momentum evolution, and validate against the paper's T_kd = 9.2 MeV, k_fs = 3.5 pc^-1 benchmarks.
Asymmetric atomic dark matter with massive dark photon bound-state formation (arXiv:2007.13787 · score 20)No maintained Boltzmann-code implementation maps this model's dark protons, dark electrons, and massive dark photon to DAO features in the CMB and matter power spectrum, so the cosmological consistency of the residual ionization used for the indirect signal cannot be checked.
proposed resolution: Extend an ETHOS-style modified CLASS with the atomic-DM tight-coupling and dark-recombination physics (using the x_D history from gap_2), and run Planck plus matter-power likelihoods to bound B_D, T_D/T_CMB, and the DAO scale for this parameter space.
Late-time dark matter to dark radiation conversion (DMDR) (arXiv:2011.04606 · score 20)The only implementation of the DMDR background and perturbation equations, DMDR-CAMB, is on-request author code with unknown maintenance status, unspecified license, and no public validation suite, so independent registry evaluation of the CMB and matter-power route depends on emailing the authors.

Hybrid two-scalar dark sector (arXiv:2211.13653 · score 20)No public Boltzmann-solver implementation of the hybrid two-scalar dark sector exists: the authors' CLASS adaptation with the coupled scalar-fluid mapping (field-dependent DM mass, coupling function Q, modified G_eff) is not released, so CMB spectra, lensing potential, and P(k) cannot be recomputed for arbitrary hybrid-potential parameters.
proposed resolution: Implement the hybrid-potential background and perturbation equations (pressureless fluid coupled to the light scalar, with coupling Q and field-dependent mass) as a public CLASS module, building on existing coupled-dark-energy CLASS forks, and validate against the paper's published CMB lensing and P(k) deviation figures.

proposed resolution: Extend a public interacting-dark-matter CLASS branch with a two-species dark sector: an f_chi subcomponent with sigma_n^B v^n baryon drag (n = 0, -2, -4) coupled by a dark-sector momentum-exchange term to the dominant CDM species, plus an optional post-recombination decay source term, and validate against the single-species limit.
Inhomogeneous Chaplygin-gas gravitational-condensate dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0310181 · score 20)No public Boltzmann code implements the two-component inhomogeneous Chaplygin system: a smooth residual gas with p=-A/rho (nonzero, evolving sound speed) plus a CDM-like condensate fraction; the only implementation was an unreleased, preliminary CMBfast patch from 2003, so no modern CMB or matter power spectra can be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the residual Chaplygin gas in CLASS as a generalized-dark-matter fluid with w(a) and c_s^2(a) from p=-A/rho and rho=sqrt(A+B/gamma), plus a separate CDM component for the condensate parameterized by (Omega_gas, v^2, Omega_CDM), then couple the output spectra to the public Planck and matter-power likelihoods in Cobaya for a modern constraint pass.
Hybrid Chaplygin gas (arXiv:astro-ph/0503428 · score 20)No Boltzmann-solver implementation exists for the two-component hybrid Chaplygin system (Chaplygin fluid with A promoted to an exponential-potential scalar), including the delta-A entropy perturbation and nonadiabatic pressure cancellation, so neither the matter power spectrum nor a modern SN/CMB/LSS confrontation of the model can be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the hybrid Chaplygin sector in CLASS or CAMB as a coupled fluid-plus-scalar module (Chaplygin background with dynamical A(phi), evolving delta phi and the induced delta p nonadiabatic term), validate against the paper's analytic result that entropy perturbations damp after horizon entry, then run standard Planck/Pantheon/BAO likelihoods through Cobaya or MontePython to quantify the large-scale-structure failure.

Affine-EOS quintessence unified dark fluid (arXiv:0706.3667 · score 19)No Boltzmann-code implementation exists for the canonical affine-quintessence unified dark fluid: linear perturbations of the scalar with the hyperbolic potential (including its effective sound speed and Compton scale) have never been evolved through a CMB/matter-power pipeline, so the alpha ~ 1e-6 bound rests on a scaling argument rather than a computation.
proposed resolution: Implement the affine unified dark fluid in CLASS as either the derived scalar field (quintessence module with the hyperbolic potential and full perturbations) or a generalized-dark-matter fluid with c_s^2 set by the affine slope alpha, then compute P(k) and CMB spectra to turn the kpc-clustering and ISW arguments into quantitative constraints against Planck and galaxy-clustering data.
Non-minimally coupled relativistic BEC dark matter (arXiv:1310.3753 · score 19)The CDM-like large-scale limit before condensation is asserted qualitatively only: there is no Boltzmann-solver implementation of the almost-cold scalar with late-time condensation, so the background evolution, linear power spectrum, and the epoch at which the NMC switches on cannot be computed or checked against CMB/LSS data.

Coupled scalar-field dark matter and early-dark-energy model (arXiv:2307.07228 · score 19)No public Boltzmann-solver implementation exists of this model's specific coupling, an SFDM mass depending exponentially on the EDE field (m_phi = m_0 exp(beta phi_EDE/M_pl)) with consistent background and linear-perturbation energy exchange; the paper's CLASS modification is private.
proposed resolution: Implement the two-scalar coupled sector in a public CLASS fork (extending an existing EDE branch such as CLASS_EDE/AxiCLASS with the field-dependent SFDM mass and its perturbed source terms), validate against the paper's H0=71.13 and S8=0.8256 best fits, and release the patch.
Dark group warm dark baryon model (arXiv:astro-ph/0212275 · score 19)No Boltzmann-solver implementation exists that jointly evolves the warm dark baryon (ncdm species with T_D/T_gamma < 1) and the dark-meson inverse-power-law quintessence sector, which the model couples through the same gauge-sector parameters.
proposed resolution: Configure/extend CLASS with an ncdm species using the derived dark-baryon distribution and temperature ratio plus a scalar-field quintessence module with the IPL potential index n, wired to the shared inputs (N_c, N_f, Lambda_c, T_D/T_gamma).
Inhomogeneous dilaton oscillaton dark matter (arXiv:astro-ph/0308183 · score 19)No background/linear-cosmology implementation of the two-phase dilaton exists: the split into cooled (dark-matter-like) and uncooled (dark-energy-like) regions is only an averaging argument, so the expansion history, BBN consistency, and CMB/BAO/SNe predictions cannot be computed or fit, and possible backreaction from inhomogeneous averaging is unquantified.
proposed resolution: Implement the averaged two-component dilaton (oscillating dust-like fraction plus rolling quintessence fraction, with the cooled volume fraction as a parameter) as a scalar-field/fluid species in CLASS or CAMB, then fit alpha, M, xi, and the cooling fraction to CMB, BAO, and supernova data with a standard sampler.
Complex scalar dark fluid (arXiv:astro-ph/0509592 · score 19)No cosmological Boltzmann implementation exists for this complex scalar dark fluid: existing CLASS/CAMB quintessence modules handle real fields with standard potentials, not a complex field with internal rotation interpolating between matter-like and cosmological-constant behavior, so w_D(z), CMB, and matter-power predictions cannot be computed.
proposed resolution: Implement the field in CLASS either directly (two real components with the U(1) charge conserved) or as an effective generalized-dark-matter fluid using the derived w(z) and c_s^2 from gap_1, validate matter-like behavior at last scattering and w_D near -1 today, then run SN/CMB/LSS/BBN likelihoods.
Z3 scalar dark matter with exponential-growth production (arXiv:2308.09801 · score 19)The momentum-level linearized Boltzmann solver for exponential-growth (semi-production) dark matter — evolving f_chi(q,x) from a freeze-in or heavy-decay seed through the lambda_tr-driven growth phase — exists only as the paper's private calculation; no public code produces the relic abundance and final phase-space distribution for this Z3 scalar model.
proposed resolution: Implement the linearized momentum-dependent Boltzmann equation for the chi + phi -> 2 anti-chi semi-production process as a public solver (standalone, or as an extension of micrOMEGAs' freeze-in machinery to full f(q) evolution), parameterized by (m_chi, m_phi, lambda_tr, lambda_fi or decay-seed parameters), validated against the paper's 1 GeV / 2 GeV benchmark.
Cold natural hidden-sector confinement dark matter (arXiv:1911.04648 · score 18)No public code computes the relic abundance of a cold hidden confining sector populated at temperature ratio xi_i ~ 0.006: the dark-baryon case needs hidden-sector freeze-out with composite cross sections sigma ~ 1/Lambda_i^2 at T_i << T, and the pure Yang-Mills glueball case needs a 3->2 cannibalizing Boltzmann network, neither covered by standard relic tools that assume SM thermal contact.
proposed resolution: Extend the hidden-sector temperature-ratio machinery in micrOMEGAs (or a dedicated Boltzmann code) to solve the decoupled-sector network for (xi_i, Lambda_i), including glueball 3->2 cannibalism with lattice-calibrated Yang-Mills equation of state, and validate against the paper's Lambda ~ 50 MeV glueball and 10-100 TeV/xi_i dark-baryon estimates.
Boson-decay sterile-neutrino warm dark matter (arXiv:1011.2217 · score 18)No public N-body initial-conditions generator implements the WDM peculiar-velocity enhancement V(k,z) and coarse-grained phase-space corrections Q_cg derived in the paper for the boson-decay distribution; these corrections exist only as the paper's Born/Fredholm perturbative formalism.
proposed resolution: Implement the kurtosis-dependent velocity and phase-space corrections as an initial-conditions module (e.g. an extension of MUSIC/monofonIC) taking f(y), m, and g_d as inputs, validated against the paper's z=30-50, k~1-2 k_fs results and against a CLASS run with the tabulated f_BD(y) as a custom ncdm distribution.
Surface-type DBI dark matter (arXiv:2307.04394 · score 18)The card's only route is a placeholder data transform: there is no forward-model implementation that evolves the s-DBI component (equation of state w(a) with transition scale a_d and sound speed c_s^2 = -w) through a Boltzmann code to CMB and matter-power predictions, and no identified associated code.
proposed resolution: Implement the s-DBI fluid as a generalized-dark-matter component in CLASS or CAMB (which already support a fluid with tabulated w(a) and c_s^2), using the paper's derived w(a), density evolution, and c_s^2 = -w, then constrain a_d and rho_today with standard Planck/BAO/weak-lensing likelihoods.
gravitino LSP superWIMP dark matter (arXiv:hep-ph/0701011 · score 18)No concrete recast of LHC/ILC long-lived charged slepton searches and stopped-particle trapping studies exists for this model's (m_NLSP, tau_NLSP, production cross section) space; the card cites the search class but no implemented analysis.
proposed resolution: Implement the ATLAS/CMS heavy-stable-charged-particle analyses for the slepton NLSP in an existing LLP recasting framework (e.g. the HSCP modules of SModelS or CheckMATE) and add a trap-geometry acceptance simulation for the stopped-slepton decay-distribution measurement.
Starobinsky-produced dark SU(N) glueball dark matter (arXiv:2105.13358 · score 17)No numerical pipeline computes the glueball relic abundance and dark temperature through the full history — scalaron decay to dark gluons in Starobinsky reheating, SU(N) confinement, 3-to-2 cannibal freeze-out, and optional entropy dilution from a second Yang-Mills sector — beyond the paper's analytic estimates.
proposed resolution: Build a coupled Boltzmann solver for the scalaron energy density, visible bath, and dark-gluon/glueball sector (cannibal 3-to-2 network with lattice-informed glueball spectrum), parameterized by (Lambda, N, xi_h, Delta), reusing existing cannibal-dark-matter freeze-out codes as the core.
Affine-EOS purely kinetic k-essence unified dark fluid (arXiv:0706.3667 · score 12)No Boltzmann-code implementation exists for the affine pure kinetic k-essence unified dark fluid: its perturbations with c_s^2 tied to the small affine parameter alpha have not been evolved to compute matter power suppression or the ISW response, so the alpha/c_s^2 <~ 1e-6 viability bound remains an order-of-magnitude estimate.
proposed resolution: Implement the pure kinetic k-essence field in CLASS or CAMB as a unified dark fluid (generalized-dark-matter module with c_s^2 from the k-essence L(X), or a dedicated k-essence perturbation module), verify recovery of the CDM transfer function in the alpha -> 0 limit, and compute P(k) and CMB spectra across the small-alpha regime.
Spin-0 relativistic-decay dark matter EFT (arXiv:2212.13272 · score 11)No public Boltzmann solver implements the model's injection history: a heavy companion decaying via the dimension-five operator to a massive spin-0 daughter that is relativistic at injection (redshifting from radiation-like to matter-like) together with the accompanying photon energy injection, so Delta N_eff, the H0 shift, and the free-streaming transfer function cannot be computed precisely.
proposed resolution: Extend CLASS's dcdm/dr module to a two-body decay with a massive daughter evolved as an NCDM species with the delta-function decay phase-space distribution (following existing DM-to-DM+DR modified-CLASS implementations), and couple the photon branch to ExoCLASS/DarkAges-style energy-injection treatment for BBN and CMB consistency.
