I am in college and trying to develop a theorem, If there is any information there is any papers or evidence to dark matter being particles could you please tell me as it will do me a great favor. Thank you for reading

You cannot "develop a theorem" (at least not a useful one) without knowing the current state of the research. And by that I don't mean "read a few papers", I mean "know all the relevant literature".
There is no plausible alternative to particles, every field that can lead to dark-matter-like results will appear in the form of particles.
Particles with a plausible mass also lead to a plausible temperature. Here are some slides.
