From astrophysical and cosmological observations, it is known that most of the matter in the Universe is dark. This matter could be explainable by new particles, not included in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. This work assumes that there exists an interaction between dark matter and Standard Model particles, and investigates if the present relic density of dark matter in the Universe coul
