Abstract: | According to our present knowledge the matter/energy budget of the universe consists of 74% dark energy, 22% dark matter and
4% ordinary (or so-called baryonic) matter. While the dark energy cannot be detected directly, searches for dark matter are
performed with earth-bound and space-borne detection devices, assuming that the dark matter consists of weakly interacting
massive particles, the so-called WIMPs. An overview of the present experimental situation is given. |
