Why this Guidebook?

Unique in its broad approach to the varying methods for identifying dark matter, The Dark Matter Discoverer’s Guidebook contains theoretical, phenomenological, and experimental approaches meant to prepare dark matter hunters for discovery. It provides an introduction to key evidence for dark matter, explores theories and models that present possible candidates, and surveys experimental approaches having the goal of training people to test the widest possible range of ideas.
