Scientific paper

Several experimental approaches are being utilised for the direct detection of the hypothetical weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) which constitiutes the majority of the non-luminous component of the Galaxy. These experimental techniques exploit the coherent recoil of target nucleii during a WIMP interaction and include thermal ionisation scintillation and tracking detectors. This talk will outline the challenges associated with this detection the techniques being used and review the current status of this experimental search for the Galactic dark matter.
