Synopsis

One of the major open questions in high energy physics and cosmology is the nature and origin of dark matter. Dark Matter in Astrophysics and Particle Physics 1998 provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of research in this topical field. The book brings together leading researchers from around the world to review recent progress and future directions for research in the different approaches to the dark matter problem. It collects results from cosmology, large-scale structure, and accelerator and nonaccelerator physics. The book also reviews the correlations between and the virtues of each of the fields for the determination of abundance, nature, and origin of dark matter.

About this title

Review

This is a highly specialised book, collecting together major contributions from a diverse body of science, from cosmologists to particle physicists, and from theorists to experimentalists ... This text is an essential reference for the expert and the insider. It provides challenging territory for the trained scientist to explore.
-C. Simon Jeffery, Armagh Observatory

This book would be of considerable value to both particle-cosmology theorists, astrophysicists concerned with observational evidence for dark matter, and also experimentalists developing detectors for dark matter.
