暗物质的存在被大量的间接观测所证实，这是最重要的迹象之一，表明一定存在超越粒子物理标准模型的物理学。本文回顾了在地下实验室的超灵敏探测器中直接探测弱相互作用大质量粒子（WIMPs）形式的暗物质的概念，讨论了预期的特征，探测器概念以及如何实现严格的低背景要求。最后，它总结了该领域的现状，并对未来几年进行了展望。
The existence of dark matter as evidenced by numerous indirect observations is one of the most important indications that there must be physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. This article reviews the concepts of direct detection of dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) in ultra-sensitive detectors located in underground laboratories, discusses the expected signatures, detector concepts, and how the stringent low-background requirements are achieved. Finally, it summarizes the current status of the field and provides an outlook on the years to come.
