Dark matter • postulated by Fritz Zwicky in 1934 to explain missing mass of the Coma cluster • a conjectured form of matter: undetectable by electromagnetic radiation presence can be inferred from gravitational effects • accounts for 23% of the total mass-energy of the Universe
Direct detection Direct detection experiments operate in deep underground laboratories to reduce the background from cosmic rays. HDMS CoGeNT TEXONO Detection techniques LUX KIMS
CDMS: Directly detected? arXiv:0912.3592 • CDMS II observed two candidate events. • Background estimation due to surface leakage: 0.8±0.1 (stat)±0.2 (syst) • The probability that the 2 signals are just surface events is 23%. “Our results can’t be interpreted as significant evidence for WIMP interactions, but we can’t reject either events as signal.”
Colliders Higgs, SUSY particles, Z’, etc It’s ON!

Conclusion Debating • Is dark matter is directly detected? • A simple extension of the SM with a hidden U(1)X can provides a viable DM candidate. • Present EW precision tests are easily satisfied. • Small mXand mψregion is at the level of the sensitivity of direct detection experiments at present and in the near future. • mX > 600 GeV is preferred by Tevatron limit. However, mX < 600 GeVis still allowed for light DM (≤ 200 GeV). • LHC may discover Z’ in the near future. Especially, large mψ
Other evidence • Structure formation • Cosmic microwave background radiation • Baryon acoustic oscillations & Sky surveys • Type Ia supernovae distance measurements • Lyman alpha forest
