Direct detection experiments for dark matter search for:

  1. Nuclear recoils from WIMP interactions
  2. Axion-photon conversion
  3. Sterile neutrino decay
  4. All of these

Answer: All of these

Multiple approaches: cryogenic detectors (WIMPs), haloscopes (axions), X-ray telescopes (sterile neutrinos). India participates in international collaborations (e.g., LUX-ZEPLIN). Understanding dark matter is key to cosmology. [[NCERT Physics Class 11, IUCAA Reports]]
