I will review the different dark matter candidates which have been proposed during the last few years, recalling in particular the motivation for introducing them and will discuss the type of dark forces which have been proposed in these new models.

In the direct investigation of the Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo both model independent and model dependent strategies with various target materials are exploited. In particular, recent results obtained by the DAMA/LIBRA set-up, exploiting the model independent annual modulation signature for Dark Matter particles, will be summarized. The data satisfy at high confidence...

In recent years, thanks to the construction of large Cherenkov neutrino detectors, dark matter has become one of the main research topics for the neutrino astronomy. At present, there are two big neutrino telescopes based on the Cherenkov technique in ice and water: IceCUBE at the South Pole and ANTARES in the northern hemisphere. Both ANTARES and IceCUBE are performing an indirect search...
