Title: Status and Challenges of Dark Matter Direct Detection 

Abstract:

Uncovering the particle nature of dark matter is one of the most challenging problems in physics today. By using low background underground detectors, dark matter may be detected via their collision with the atoms. Experimental sensitivity has been improved by more than one order of magnitude in the last decade. However, we still don’t have a clear signal from dark matter. In this talk, I will review the most advanced detection technology and the current experimental progress on the direct detection of dark matter. I will also discuss future challenges.
