Abstract: | New, exotic (very heavy and/or very weakly interacting) particles would have been produced in the hot, dense environment of the early Universe. If sufficiently long-lived, some exotic relics would have survived to influence the subsequent evolution of the Universe; some may be present today. The laboratory and astrophysical information which can constrain the properties of such new particles is outlined and guidelines are presented for testing models of elementary particle physics. |
