Description
There is a remarkable similarity between the dark matter mass density, of unknown origins, and the baryonic mass density which originates from a minuscule 1 in 10 billion asymmetry between matter and antimatter.
Asymmetric dark matter models propose that a connected asymmetry generation mechanism is responsible for the abundance of both sectors.
In this talk I will review these motivations before exploring some constrains on ADM models and dark sectors and how these can often necessitate cold dark sectors.
Finally I will discuss a variety of ways that naturally cold dark sectors can arise.
