The term âWIMPâ is given to a dark matter particle that was produced by falling out of thermal equilibrium with the hot dense plasma of the early universe, although it is often used to refer to any dark matter candidate that interacts with standard particles via a force similar in strength to the weak nuclear force.ts name comes from the fact that obtaining the correct abundance of dark matter today via thermal production requires a self-annihilation cross section of, which is roughly what is expected for a new particle in the 100 GeV mass range that interacts via the electroweak force.
Market capitalization. Market capitalization (market cap) is the market value at a point in time of the shares outstanding of a publicly traded company, being equal to the share price at that point of time times the number of shares outstanding.
Market Value. Market value is what investors and buyers are willing to pay for an asset in a public auction. For example, the market value of a public company is what investors are willing to pay for its shares, while the market value of a home is its closing price. Valuation of private companies is more difficult.ignificance. Market value is generally different from intrinsic value. For example, stock prices seldom reflect the true value of companies, just as the selling price of a home is almost never equal to its appraised value. This is because market prices reflect supply and demand.
