it's commonly stated that the standard model has no dark matter candidate.
axions and/or sterile neutrions are well motivated extensions of the standard model. if experiments show they exist and are a part of dark matter, would this still be within the framework of the standard model, or is it BSM?
would the existence of a standard model that includes axions and/or sterile neutrions still be considered the standard model or something else?
if dark matter consists of axions and/or sterile neutrions or both, then can it be said the standard model does explain dark matter?
