Feebly interacting particles (FIPs) are defined by their extremely suppressed interactions with the Standard Model(SM) bosons and/or fermions. FIP candidates could be massive or massless and coupled to the SM particles through minimal coupling strength.[1] The light FIPs are theorized to be dark matter candidates, and, they provides an explanation for the origin of neutrino masses and CP symmetry in strong interactions.[2] These particles are potential thermal dark matter candidates extending the model of weekly interacting massive particles. FIP physics is also known as dark-sector physics.[1]
