✦ Synopsis

After briefly recalling the evidence which suggests that the dark matter pervading the universe is nonbaryonic, we review the present searches for the best motivated particle candidates: axions, light neutrinos and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs).

ArDM aims at developing and operating large liquefied noble gas detectors to search for direct evidence of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) as Dark Matter in the universe. An approximately 1-ton liquid argon prototype is designed and assembled at the time being, in order to assess the val

This work reports on the development of the first phonon detectors based on CaMoO 4 and ZnWO 4 scintillating crystals for the CRESST-II experiment. In particular, a novel technique for the production of the ZnWO 4 phonon detector with a separate thermometer carrier was investigated. The influence of

Different techniques are currently competing in the direct search of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) dark matter, which consists in observing in the laboratory nuclear recoils due to impact of WIMPs from our galactic halo. As an introduction to this Dark Matter session, the experimental
