Particle Dark Matter

Gianfranco Bertone is coordinator of the Theoretical Physics group at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris. His technical work mainly focuses on theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the dark matter problem, and he participates in important experimental collaborations on the elaboration of optimal strategies for the detection of dark matter particles.
