Since cosmological observations reveals
that the non- baryonic content of the universe is beyond its baryonic content,
a World wide increasing experimental effort is ongoing for the experimental
detection of this mysterious  matter. The
most compelling dark matter candidates are in the form of weakly Interacting
Massive Particles (WIMPs). Different research groups are using different technologies
and techniques to develop and operate detector systems.  In this work, the working principles and
current status of the detectors developed for the dark matter searches are
rewieved.

Karanlık Madde Araştırmaları için Kullanılan Dedektör Teknolojileri

Öz

Evrendeki baryonik olmayan madde
içeriğinin bilinen baryonik madde içeriğinden fazla olduğunun kozmolojik
gözlemlerle açığa çıkmasından sonra, bu gizemli maddenin deneysel tespiti
amacıyla dünya genelinde artan bir deneysel çalışma söz konusudur. Karanlık
madde konusunda en kabul gören teorik görüş bu maddelerin zayıf etkileşimli
ağır parçacıklar (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, WIMPs) olduğu
yönündedir. Farklı çalışma grupları farklı teknolojiler ve teknikleri
kullanarak detektör sistemleri geliştirmekte ve çalıştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada,
karanlık madde araştırmaları için geliştirilen detektörlerin çalışma
prensipleri ve şu anda gelinen mevcut durumları değerlendirilmiştir.
