Searches for Particle Dark Matter : Dark stars, dark galaxies, dark halos and global supersymmetric fits

The identity of dark matter is one of the key outstanding problems in both particle and astrophysics. In this thesis, I describe a number of complementary searches for particle dark matter. I discuss how the impact of dark matter on stars can constrain its interaction with nuclei, focussing on main...
