Current status of the direct search for WIMP Dark Matter
Presented by Franco Giuliani (UNM)
After summarizing the evidence for Dark Matter, and the main attempts to solve the problem, I will focus on the search for particle Dark Matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), discussing the models for interpretation of the experimental results and
the basic experimental methods. Finally, I'll show the current status of the field.
