Experimental Dark Matter Search
Scientific paper
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 foremost challenges today -- the answer will be of fundamental importance to cosmologists, astrophysicists, particle physicists, and general relativists. In this article, I will give a brief review of the observational evidence (concentrating on areas of current significant activity), followed by anequally brief summary of candidate solutions for the `dark matter'. I will then discuss experimental searches, both direct and indirect. Finally, I will offer prospects for the future.
