ABSTRACT
The evidence that most of the matter in the universe does not shine has firmly established the concept of dark matter (DM). It is by now clear that there is room in our galactic halo for DM in the form of exotic particles (WIMPs-Weakly Interacting Massive Particles-or axions) [1,2], whose supposed properties make their experimental observation within the reach of frontier detection methods. This stimulates the creativity of experimental physicists, who are induced to push the existing techniques to their extreme limits or to elaborate new ones in order to attempt DM detection.
