Scientific paper

We review some recent determinations of the amount of dark matter on galactic and larger scales, with special attention to the dark matter in the Milky Way. We then briefly review the motivation for and basic physics of several dark matter candidates, and then go into more depth for two candidates, the neutralino from supersymmetry, and the baryonic Macho candidate. We give some motivation for supersymmetry and review neutralino detection strategies. For Machos we give a description of the discovery of Machos via gravitational microlensing and the interpretation of the results with respect to the dark matter problem.
