M 31 Rotation curves of galaxies from radioastronomical observation of the Doppler shift of the 21 cm neutral hydrogen line The visible mass is only 10 % of the gravitational mass of the galaxy, 90 % is dark matter
L'univers est plat, et la matière visible n'en constitue qu'une petite partie.... jusqu'à preuve du contraire!
Neutrinos cannot account for the DM • They are too light ( <2.2 eV) • They were relativistic at decoupling, and would have washed out the • inhomogeneities early universe: • Early universe: • Extra massive particules were in thermal equilibrium with SM particles • During expansion they decayed to the lightest neutral particles of • their family: the WIMP (weakly interacting neutral particle) c • Stays in equilibrium via annihilation: • until when it decouples (NR) gas of decoupled • Fermion: • Density at decoupling:
Most popular SM extension candidate: Supersymetry (SUSY) Symmetry is broken at low energy, and SUSY particles are heavy (searched for at LHC!) In several models the lightest SUSY particle (LSP) is neutral and stable: Neutralino best WIMP candidate
The WIMPS are gravitationnaly clustered and bound in the halo of galaxies

Cryogenic detectors (bolometers) heat sink ( 8 mK) phonons i • Wide choice of materials • Good energy resolution crystal Stopping particle (ionizing or non ionizing) Thermistor R(T) measure heat pulse
