Abstract

In these lectures we discuss the evidence for dark matter in the universe and in galaxies. The search for WIMP dark matter is discussed in detail, including the current search. We describe the ZEPLIN II detectors constructed at UCLA and now underground at Boulby Laboratory. Future search with one ton detectors (Super CDMS, ZEPLIN IV, etc.) at SNOLAB is described. The dark energy first reported at the 1998 Dark Matter conference in Los Angeles is discussed. The current evidence supports an Einstein Cosmological Constant source. Future prospects for the study of the equation of state are described. Precision dark matter determination will be needed.
