Ultra-Light Scalar Field Dark MatterΛCDM cosmology is remarkably consistent with observations of the Universe on large scales. However, neither direct nor indirect detection experiments have yet found convincing evidence for weakly interacting cold dark matter particles; in addition, there are possible tensions between predictions derived from cold dark matter simulations and cosmological observations in ...
