Abstract

A number of theories predict heavy dark matter, including WIMPs and high mass composite states formed in the early universe. Discovering the heaviest dark matter candidates, with a unit mass in excess of a microgram, requires methods beyond traditional underground experiments. For high mass dark matter searches in general (including WIMPS) new search methods will be necessary in the coming decades. I will discuss the most trenchant past searches for high mass dark matter along with future prospects.
