Producing on Earth the missing matter of the Universe — •Alexander Grohsjean — DESY, Notkestraße 85, 22607 Hamburg

Understanding dark matter is one of the most tantalizing challenges in today's science. While its gravitational effect on large scale structures is well established, its nature remains obscure. An attractive solution to the dark matter problem is provided by new species of particles that are not contained in the Standard Model.

Producing and detecting these particles is one of the major quests of particle physics. The masses of these particles span a wide range from very light particles that could be produced through light in strong magnetic fields up to extremely heavy particles, which could be produced by high-energy accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

I will discuss some of the most promising theory models to explain dark matter, give an overview of different experiments to search for dark matter particles, and will close with an outlook on the next major milestones.
