**Hot dark matter - nonbaryonic particles that move ultra-relativistically 1985 Astrophysical Jrnl. CCXCIX.
Dark energy may become dark matter when buffeted by baryonic particles, thus leading to particle-like excitations in some type of dynamical field, referred to as quintessence.
If the mass density is critical, as predicted by the simplest versions of inflation, then the bulk of the dark matter must be a gas of weakly interacting non-baryonic particles, sometimes called WIMPS (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles).
