Ebook: Dark Matter in Astro- and Particle Physics: Proceedings of the International Conference DARK 2004 College Station, USA, October 3–9, 2004

The search for dark matter in the universe has established itself as one of the most exciting and central fields of astrophysics, particle physics and cosmology. The lectures and talks in this book emphasize the experimental and theoretical status and future perspectives, stressing in particular the interplay between astro- and particle physics.
