Description
The best motivated candidate of cosmic dark matter is the neutralino, the lightest superpartner in the supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. The nature of the particle dark matter entails measurements both from the undergroud colliders and the space surveys. While LHC will start proton collisions soon at CERN, the NASA satellite Fermi has just accomplished one year mission in orbit. We are entering an unprecedented era of dark matter searches. This talk introduces the direct search for supersymmetry at ATLAS and the indirect search for dark matter on FERMI. It also envisions the prospect of complementary searches.
