Seminarium Kosmologia i Fizyka Cząstek

In the last years several technologies have been developed to experimentally confirm existence of dark matter particles by direct detection of their interactions. Due to the rapid progress in background reduction techniques, developments of calibration strategies and statistical treatment of data, tremendous improvement in detector’s sensitivities has been observed. This review will be focused on the present status of direct dark matter searches with application of different detection technologies. Future plans and predictions for some of the experiments will be discussed as well.
