Unitarity limits on the mass and radius of dark-matter particlesUsing partial wave unitarity and the observed density of the Universe, it is shown that a stable elementary particle which was once in thermal equilibrium cannot have a mass greater than 340 TeV. An extended object which was once in thermal equlibrium cannot have a radius less than 7.5 x 10(exp -7) fm. A lower limit to the relic abundance of such particles is also found.
