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

The aim of CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) is to search for particle dark matter via elastic scattering off nuclei. The experiment is located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), Italy, and it uses low-background cryogenic detectors with supercond
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).
