27 Complementarity of Dark Matter Experiments

Despite being five times as abundant as normal matter in the Universe, the identify of dark matter is unknown. Its existence, however, implies that our inventory of the basic building blocks of nature is incomplete, and uncertainty about its properties clouds attempts to fully understand how the Universe evolved to its present state and how it will evolve in the future. Uncovering the identity of dark matter is therefore a central and grand challenge for both fundamental physics and astronomy. Fortunately, a very promising array of groundbreaking experiments are positioned to transform the field of dark matter in the coming decade. The prospect that dark matter particles might be observed in the near future has drawn many new researchers to the field, which is now characterized by an extraordinary diversity of approaches unified by the common goal of discovering the identity of dark matter.
