Abstract

Dark matter remains a deeply unresolved and intriguing issue in contemporary physics era, containing approximately 25.9% energy density of the entire universe. While its gravitational effects are evident in galactic rotation curves and cosmic microwave background measurements, its composition and interactions beyond gravity are still unknown. This study summarizes the present theoretical landscape of dark matter and closely examines its leading candidate particles for example like Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), axions as well as sub-GeV particles. This research discusses the theoretical motivations, detection methods, recent experimental results, and future prospects for each candidate. The paper also addresses the challenges faced in dark matter detection, including background noise and energy thresholds, as well as explores upcoming experiments that aim to overcome these hurdles. According to the analysis, this study aims to provide insights into the ongoing efforts and future directions in the quest to unravel the fantastic truth of dark matter.
