Direct searches for dark matter
In the last decade considerable additional evidence has been gathered supporting the hypothesis that at least 90% of the mass in the universe is dark: it does not emit or absorb any form of electromagnetic radiation. Understanding this dark matter has become one of the more central problems in astronomy and cosmology. Once a subject of controversy among astronomers, its existence is now well es...
متن کاملExperimental Searches for Dark Matter
There is now an enormously rich variety of experimental techniques being brought to bear on experimental searches for dark matter, covering a wide range of suggested forms for it. The existence of "dark matter", in some form or other, is inferred from a number of relatively simple observations and the problem has been known for over half a century. To explain "dark matter" is one of the foremos...
متن کاملDark Matter Searches
I'll start with a summary of the relevant evidence for cold dark matter from astrophysics and cosmology. The Standard Model of subnuclear physics does not have any dark matter particle, but its simplest extensions, the SUSY models, do have a very apt candidate, the neutralino. I will then briefly summarise the status and the expectations for the next years of indirect searches both with earth-b...
متن کاملMicrolensing searches of dark matter
The evolution of the observational results of microlensing towards the LMC and some of the suggested interpretations to account for them are discussed. It is emphasized that the results at present are indicative of a lensing population of white dwarfs, possibly in the spheroid (not dark halo) of the Galaxy, together with the more standard backgrounds of stellar populations in the Magellanic Clo...
متن کاملDirect searches for dark matter: recent results.
There is abundant evidence for large amounts of unseen matter in the universe. This dark matter, by its very nature, couples feebly to ordinary matter and is correspondingly difficult to detect. Nonetheless, several experiments are now underway with the sensitivity required to detect directly galactic halo dark matter through their interactions with matter and radiation. These experiments divid...
