Description
The mass of visible matter (electrons and nuclei) accounts for less than 5% of the mass-energy of the universe. The remaining 95% is known as dark matter and dark energy. It is called dark because it cannot be seen in the electromagnetic spectrum. Dark matter has been not detected in scattering experiments nor anywhere else, be it at CERN or deep underground “halo” experiments. There is, however, clear cosmological evidence for this all-pervasive dark matter and dark energy. New experiments running or proposed at high intensity beam accelerators are able to extend the hunting to uncover territories (in particular light masses) with unprecedent sensitivity. In this talk I will review the LDM searches current status and opportunities for planned/future experiments.
