review text: This book is an edited version of the review talks given in the Third Aegean School on the Invisible Universe: Dark Matter and Dark Energy, held in Karfas on Chios Island, Greece, from 26th of September to 1st of October 2005. The aim of the book is to present an advanced multiauthored textbook which meets the needs of both the postgraduate students and the young researchers, in the field of modern cosmology and astrophysics. The issue of dark matter and dark energy is one of the central interests in astroparticle physics, astrophysics, astronomy, and modern cosmology. Much of observational data indicate that there is a missing matter and missing energy in the universe. Evidence of the existence of this unknown form of matter and energy can be obtained from different sources. In astrophysics, the dynamics of galaxy formation and galaxy clusters can give information on the amount of missing matter. In astroparrticle physics, particle candidates were proposed from string theory and supersymmetry to identify the unknown matter. In cosmology, the recent data from cosmic microwave background and supernovae observations strongly indicate that there is a large amount of an unknown form of energy in the energy balance of the universe. The purpose of this book is to present these issues and to discuss in detail the physics involved. The first part of the book presents the problem of missing matter of the universe as seen by astroparticle physics and astrophysics. G. Lazaride reviews the main proposals of particle physics for the composition of the dark matter. Candidate constituents are neutralinos, axinos, and gravitinos. A model is presented which possesses a wide range of parameters consitent with the data on dark matter abundance as well as other phenomenological constraints. In view that many particle theories will be tested in the next round experiments in large accelerators, e.g. in the Large Hadron Accelerator, a more phenomenological approach to dark matter in eleme…
