The Early History of Dark Matter - The history of the discovery of dark matter in the Universe is reviewed. Emphasis on early work by Zwicky (1933), Smith (1936), Babcock (1939) and Oort (1940).
STACEE - Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment.
Chandra X-Ray Observatory: Dark Matter Mystery - A brief popular science type introduction to the subject.
Dark Matter as the Fundamental Particle of the Universe - An individual interpretation on the structure of the Universe.
CHICOS - California HIgh school Cosmic ray ObServatory - An active research array for the detection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays. The events CHICOS is designed to observe are single subatomic particles slamming into the Earth's atmosphere with the energy of a brick falling from a rooftop. It is a collaboration of Los Angeles-area high schools, California Institute of Technology, California State University, Northridge, and University of California, Irvine.
Dark Mass and the Quest for the Æther - A brief discussion on the semantics of mass, matter and weight.
LSST Observatory - Large-aperture Synoptic Survey Telescope ('Dark Matter Telescope'): proposed 8.4 m, 7 square-degree field telescope.
Mirror Matter - The concept of mirror matter is explained. Mirror matter could form a sizable fraction of the inferred dark matter.
Is Dark Matter Theory or Fact? - From Scientific American: Ask the Experts: Physics.
Primer on Dark Matter - Very concise illustrated overview with links to relevant topics and sub-topics.

ASTRO-E - ASTRO-E and ASTRO-EII (or Astro-E2) are Japanese X-ray astronomy satellites built primarily by JAXA. In 2000 the Astro-E launch failed (with the satellite falling into the ocean), so a replacement called Astro-EII was launched on July 10, 2005.
Particle astrophysics - Particle astrophysics can be defined as the border between particle physics and cosmology (for example, the physics of the early universe, baryogenesis, cosmological nucleosynthesis, dark matter, monopoles, the origin of structure), particle and stellar physics (for example, solar neutrinos, supernovae neutrinos), and particle physics and high energy astrophysics (from compact objects to high energy cosmic rays).
Elementary particle - In particle physics, an elementary particle or fundamental particle is a [not known to have substructure; that is, it is not known to be made up of smaller particles. If an elementary particle truly has no substructure, then it is one of the basic particles of the universe] from which all larger particles ...
Particle decay - Particle decay is the spontaneous process of one elementary particle transforming into other elementary particles. During this process, an elementary particle becomes a different particle with less mass and a W boson.
List of accelerators in particle physics - A list of particle accelerators used for particle physics experiments. Some early particle accelerators that more properly did nuclear physics, but existed prior to the separation of particle physics from that field, are also included.
