Description
Over the past decade a world-wide experimental effort has grown significantly to the point where today
there are over half a dozen directional dark matter experiments, with four collecting data underground.
Although most of the efforts employ time projection chambers with low pressure gas-based targets, R&D
on novel approaches in liquids and solids is also proceeding. We review the directionality signature in dark
matter searches and give the current status of this diverse experimental efforts.
