Abstract:
We discuss the current status of WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive
Particle) Dark Matter from both a theoretical and an experimental
viewpoint. We comment in particular direct searches for WIMP-nucleus
scattering, indirect searches for WIMP annihilation in the Universe, and
collider searches. In the second part of the talk, we comment on several
alternatives to WIMP dark matter, such as sterile neutrinos, or
primordial black holes.
