C4.00001: WIMP Dark Matter Invited Speaker: Paolo Gondolo The study of particle dark matter candidates has seen a trend toward making the smallest number of assumptions on the particle physics and the astrophysics of dark matter. I will present a brief overview of how this goal is being pursued in the theory and phenomenology of weakly-interacting massive particles as dark matter. [Preview Abstract] |

C4.00002: A new era in dark matter direct detection Invited Speaker: Elena Aprile Direct detection of Dark Matter particles is about to enter a new era with next-generation experiments using a variety of targets in the mass range of hundreds to thousands kilograms. From improved bolometers at mK temperature to large homogeneous detectors filled with liquid argon or liquid xenon as scintillators and ionizers, the field is poised to see a dramatic improvement in the sensitivity to WIMP-nucleon interactions before the end of this decade. This talk will review the status of these experiments, concentrating on those which are about to start data-taking in the very near future. [Preview Abstract] |

C4.00003: Indirect Dark Matter Detection Invited Speaker: Miguel S\'anchez-Conde The search for dark matter via its annihilation/decay products is a complementary and powerful approach to those being performed at the lab, either in accelerators or in dedicated dark matter particle search experiments. Indeed, recent data collected by gamma-ray, neutrino and/or charged particle experiments from the ground or in orbit have already been used to set competitive constraints on the dark matter interactions and, in a few cases, to even claim a dark matter detection. In this talk, I will review the current status of the field, paying special attention to gamma rays --- the golden channel for this kind of searches --- and to the main battlegrounds at present.
