Description
I use the recent Planck data in combination with WMAP, ACT, and SPT to place bounds on dark matter properties. I show that light dark matter models favored by some direct detection experiments are strongly constrained by CMB observations. I will also discuss how future polarization data from Planck will improve these bounds.
