Conclusion and outlook.3In the field of particle and astrophysics, one of the major unresolved problems is to understand the nature and properties of dark matter, which constitutes almost 80% of the matter content of the universe. This book gives a pedagogical introduction to the field of dark matter in general, and in particular to the model building perspective. This book focuses on teaching the basic tools for model building of dark matter, and it aims to motivate the reader to propose a new dark matter model.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Tanushree received her Master's degree in physics from University of Calcutta, India. She pursued her research interest by moving to the Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad. She later earned her doctorate degree working on the phenomenology of particle dark matter models. She is currently working as an Assistant Professor in Physics in the Department of Science & Humanities at Indus University, Ahmedabad, India. Her primary research fields are supersymmetry, physics beyond Standard Model, dark matter and neutrino physics.Title from PDF title page (viewed on September 10, 2018).
