Title

All the Dark we can not see – The State-of-the Art in Direct Searches for Particle Dark Matter

Abstract

One of the major challenges of modern physics is to decipher the nature of dark matter. It could be made of new elementary particles with allowed masses and interaction strengths spanning an enormous range. Among these, particles with masses in the MeV-TeV range could be directly observed via scattering with atomic nuclei or electrons in ultra-low background detectors operated deep underground. After an introduction to the dark matter problem, I will discuss the most promising direct detection techniques, addressing their current and future science reach, as well as their complementarity.
