Abstract

Determining the precise nature of Dark Matter is one of the main open questions of contemporary physics. Its resolution will probably entail a major Copernician revolution since baryonic matter, which is constituting our environment, probably represents only a small fraction of the total energy content in the Universe. Since the thirties, when the Dark Matter question was initially raised by Zwicky [1], and despite impressive experimental progress and effort over the last ten years [2], the precise nature of this Dark Matter has not yet been uncovered.
