Abstract
Cosmological and astrophysical observations show with outstanding evidence that more than 80% of the matter density in the Universe is nonluminous. Attractive candidates for the composition of this dark cosmic component are still undetected, neutral, heavy particles, which were non-relativistic, or “cold,” when they decoupled from ordinary matter. This paper will review the direct and indirect detection methods of these hypothetical particles, with a major emphasis on the previous approach. In the direct search, sophisticated instruments look for the scattering of dark matter particles off nuclei in ultra-low background, deep underground experiments. In the indirect search, space-based and ground-based observatories aim to detect secondary particles that could originate from annihilations of dark matter candidates in various locations in the Milky Way or in close galaxies. Emphasis is given to the most recent developments and to the status of close-future projects.
