Abstract
As has been previously proposed, a minimal modification of the standard SU( 3) x SU(2) x U(1) theory provides a viable dark matter candidate. Such a pa rticle, a scalar gauge singlet, is naturally self-interacting - making it o f particular interest given recent developments in astrophysics. We review this dark matter candidate, with reference to the parameter ranges currentl y under discussion. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
