Science / Technology - Colloquium

The majority of the mass of the Universe is still unidentified. Many different astrophysics and cosmological measurements support the hypothesis that Cold Dark Matter dominates the gravitational behavior of galaxies and galactic clusters. I will discuss the interpretation of existing data, and focus on a number of experiments that are being conducted deep underground to directly detect a new type of dark matter particle: one which arises naturally from the extension of existing particle physics theories.
