Is Dark Matter made out of particles. Current searches and detector developments

OSTI ID:6265119
The hypothesis that Dark Matter is made out of exotic particles is definite enough to be testable in a variety of ways. We review the first generation experiments looking for dark matter particles, using conventional techniques. They may find those particles and in any case will provide powerful constraints. We argue that in the long run, cryogenic detectors will have to be used for that type of physics, and since the European effort is covered by other speakers, we review the present developments in this area in the USA. 18 refs., 1 fig.
