The Search for Dark Matter - Butterworth Article

Hi all

I thought this was a particularly good article on dark matter from a particle physics perspective. In particular it has an excellent discussion of null hypothesis testing and how this helps in the interaction between theory and experiment. It also talks about how the particle physicists use 'fake' data to keep themselves honest, with the clearest explanation I've seen so far.
