The book starts with a historical perspective, tracing the discovery of dark matter through observations like galactic rotation curves and gravitational lensing. It then progresses to examine the role of dark matter in galaxy formation, supported by complex cosmological simulations.
Finally, the book delves into the experiments designed to directly detect dark matter particles, such as WIMPs and axions, via underground detectors and the Large Hadron Collider. This approach enables the reader to appreciate the interdisciplinary nature of dark matter research, bridging particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.
