Description
Direct detection experiments aim to shed light on the thus far elusive nature of dark matter through measuring its potential interactions with ordinary matter. This talk will provide an overview of these experiments and the status of the field. After briefly summarising the possible dark matter candidates, I will cover some of the detection strategies and recent results, before discussing the prospects for upcoming projects that will lead to future, more sensitive searches.
