Description

Rather than being a single new species, the dark matter of the Universe could be a part of a more complicated collection of new particles with its own nontrivial dynamics that interacts weakly with the standard model--part of a ``dark sector.'' I will discuss motivations for considering this possibility, recent developments, and the new avenues for discovery that have opened up.
