Description

The identity of around 80% of the matter in the Universe remains unknown. This "Dark Matter" (DM) is essential to explain a range of cosmological and astrophysical observations, but cannot be in the form of standard baryonic Matter such as protons or neutrons. Given that DM is likely to be an as-yet-undiscovered particle, its properties may shed light on New Physics beyond the Standard Model. I will begin by presenting an overview of the evidence for DM. I will then discuss present efforts and future strategies to search for DM, focusing on those being pursued at the Instituto de Física de Cantabria (IFCA), which span scales from the sub-atomic to the cosmological, and everything in between.
