• CDMS Experiment - Homepage of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment at the University of California, Berkeley. The experiment uses a large germanium crystal cooled to 20 mK to search for weakly interacting, massive particles (WIMPs) - proposed constituents of dark matter.
  • CRESST - Homepage of the CRESST experiment (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers), a European collaboration to search for particle constituents of dark matter in the Gran Sasso laboratories.
  • Cosmic Hide and Seek: The Search for the Missing Mass - Summary of the properties of dark matter, its influence on cosmic evolution, and the different ways it can be detected. Suitable for a general audience; by Chris Miller.
  • DAMA - Homepage of the DArk MAtter experiment, which uses low-activity scintillator to search for particle constituents of dark matter in the Gran Sasso laboratories. Includes information about the experiment itself, members of the collaboration, results, and publications.
  • Dark Matter - Description of dark matter, its properties and consequences. Includes texts, plots, graphs and schematics. By Martin White (University of California, Berkeley).
  • Dark Matter Mystery - Elementary introduction to dark matter, suitable for a general audience. The pages are part of the public outreach effort of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, and hosted by Harvard University.
