asymptotic proportion of cyclic square-tiled tori over all square-tiled tori.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Direct Detection of WIMP Dark Matter
The status of the recent efforts in the direct search for Weak Interacting
Massive Particle (WIMP) Dark Matter is briefly reviewed and the main
achievements illustrated by the contributions presented to TAUP 99. The
strategies followed in the quest for WIMPs will be first revisited and then the
new results and the future prospects reported.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figures. To be published in the TAUP 99 Proceedings,
