| Title: |
Direct and Indirect Dark Matter Search Experiment |
| Abstract: |
In spite of its overall significance as a major component of the universe,
little is known about the nature of dark matter, except some research
suggest that it is non-baryonic and non-relativistic.
With these features,
weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are thought to be one of
the most probable candidates of dark matter, and experiments have been
conducted to observe WIMPs directly or indirectly.
In this talk, I will report two recent examples of WIMP search
experiment.
One is direct search carried out in the Kamioka underground
observatory.
The other is indirect search proposed by the CALET mission on the
international space station.
