  LWDM (Warm Dark Matter) is progressing impressively.The galactic scale crisis
and decline of LCDM+baryons are staggering. The 16th Paris Chalonge Colloquium
2012 combined real cosmological/astrophysical data and hard theory predictive
approach in the LWDM Standard Model. News and reviews from
ACT,WMAP,SPT,QUIET,Planck,Herschel,JWST,UFFO,KATRIN and MARE experiments;
astrophysics, particle and nuclear physics WDM searches, galactic observations,
related theory and simulations, with the aim of synthesis and clarification.
Here highlights by P Biermann, C Burigana, C Conselice, A Cooray, H de Vega, C
Giunti & M Laveder, J Kormendi & K Freeman, E Ma, J Mather, L Page, G Smoot, N
Sanchez. Summary and conclusions by de Vega, Falvella and Sanchez. Data confirm
primordial CMB gaussianity. Effective (Ginsburg-Landau) Inflation theory
predicts r about 0.04-0.05, negligeable running of ns, the inflation energy
scale (GUT scale) and the set of CMB observables in agreement with the data.
WMAP9 and Planck measurements are compatible with one or two Majorana sterile
neutrinos in the eV mass scale. Cored (non cusped) DM halos and keV WDM are
strongly favored by theory and observations, Wimps are strongly disfavoured.
LambdaCDM with baryons do not work at small scales. Inside galaxy cores,
quantum WDM effects are important. Quantum WDM calculations (Thomas-Fermi)
provide galaxy masses, velocity dispersions and cored profiles and their sizes
in agreement with observations. A WDM fermion of about 2 keV naturally
reproduces galaxy, large scale and cosmological observations. WDM keV particles
deserve dedicated astronomical and laboratory searches, theoretical work and
numerical simulations. KATRIN can be adapted to look to keV scale sterile
neutrinos. It will be a fantastic discovery to detect dark matter in beta
decay. Photos of the Colloquium are included
