SUMMARY:Dark Matter Searches with DM-Ice and CUORE\, Department of Phy
 sics Special Seminar\, Reina Maruyama\, University of Wisconsin at Mad
 ison
DESCRIPTION:Observations from cosmology tell us that less than 4% of o
 ur Universe is comprised of ordinary visible matter\, and that the res
 t is made of Dark Matter and Dark Energy.  Much of our understanding o
 f Dark Matter is inferred from astronomical and astrophysical observat
 ions. There are concerted efforts to study the properties of Dark Matt
 er by directly observing its interaction in underground detectors.  I 
 will present two new efforts: DM-Ice\, a sodium-iodide detector to be 
 located in the Antarctic Ice at the South Pole\, will search for the e
 xpected annual modulation of the Dark Matter signal.  I will also disc
 uss the potentialof CUORE as a Dark Matter experiment.
