How we can know that there are no more particles that graviton and standard model particles??

We DON'T know. What we have is a consistent and useful model of reality that works very well. If/when other particles are discovered, the model will have to be changed. Dark matter may lead to that situation.

Physics builds models based on what is known, not what is unknown.

If you have paid some attention to the LHC results and operations these past 2 years, you would have heard of their search for supersymmetry particles. Clearly, this is an example where high energy physicists ARE trying to see if there are other particles beyond just those within the Standard Model.

What is the probability the existence a particle at our typical energies can exist and a acelerattor can´t detect?

Accelerators do not detect particles. So the probability is 100%.

We don't "know" this at all. The graviton and the Standard-Model particles are the ones that we have had experimental access to. Most supersets of these two theories include additional particles, particles that we may or may not be able to detect evidence of.
 
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2503.09804 From the abstract: ... Our derivation uses both EE and the Newtonian approximation of EE in Part I, to describe semi-classically in Part II the advection of DM, created at the level of the universe, into galaxies and clusters thereof. This advection happens proportional with their own classically generated gravitational field g, due to self-interaction of the gravitational field. It is based on the universal formula ρD =λgg′2 for the densityρ D of DM...
Thread 'LQG Legend Writes Paper Claiming GR Explains Dark Matter Phenomena'
A new group of investigators are attempting something similar to Deur's work, which seeks to explain dark matter phenomena with general relativity corrections to Newtonian gravity is systems like galaxies. Deur's most similar publication to this one along these lines was: One thing that makes this new paper notable is that the corresponding author is Giorgio Immirzi, the person after whom the somewhat mysterious Immirzi parameter of Loop Quantum Gravity is named. I will be reviewing the...
Many of us have heard of "twistors", arguably Roger Penrose's biggest contribution to theoretical physics. Twistor space is a space which maps nonlocally onto physical space-time; in particular, lightlike structures in space-time, like null lines and light cones, become much more "local" in twistor space. For various reasons, Penrose thought that twistor space was possibly a more fundamental arena for theoretical physics than space-time, and for many years he and a hardy band of mostly...
