== Query ==
In ''Theoretical Arguments'', the size of WIMPs is referred to as having "Large mass compared with standard particles". Could some indication of how large be added? [[User:Duncan.france|Duncan.france]] 23:03, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
 
:There are quite a lot of possibilities. A reasonable range of interest is a few GeV up to several TeV, but you could imaging something a lot heavier and still call it a WIMP. The mass of a medium-sized atom is a good comparison for scale. --[[User:Reuben|Reuben]] 01:04, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
