Detector Technologies used for the Dark Matter Searches

Since cosmological observations reveals that the non- baryonic content of the universe is beyond its baryonic content, a World wide increasing experimental effort is ongoing for the experimental detection of this mysterious matter. The most compelling dark matter candidates are in the form of weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Different research groups are using different technologies and techniques to develop and operate detector systems. In this work, the working principles and current status of the detectors developed for the dark matter searches are rewieved
