Description

All the normal matter around us is well described by the standard model of particle physics. On the other hand we found that the majority of the matter in the Universe does not fit into this standard model. Its gravitational effects clearly show the existence of this other form of matter, which we call Dark Matter.<br>The physical nature of Dark Matter is not known yet, but it is expected to consist of at least one kind of new particles. The particles we know inside the standard model are all inconsistent with our observations of Dark Matter. In this article we discuss particle candidates, their respective detection methods, and the status of ongoing experiments to detect Dark Matter particles.
