Abstract
Dark matter remains one of the most significant scientific mysteries of our time. This Resource Letter provides an overview of the astrophysical evidence for dark matter and describes the broad set of theoretical dark matter candidates that have been proposed. Results from dark matter searches are discussed, with a focus on direct detection experiments.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) is to publish articles on the educational and cultural aspects of physics that are useful, interesting, and accessible to a diverse audience of physics students, educators, and researchers. Our audience generally reads outside their specialties to broaden their understanding of physics and to expand and enhance their pedagogical toolkits at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
