\subsection{Josh Smith}  My role was to look at the potential candidates of dark matter, the theory behind them and if they were a likely candidate or not. I believe that our report is a very accessible introduction to basic cosmology and dark matter. Due to the nature of many of the candidates I had to look into supersymmetry, of which I had little previous knowledge; although before this project I had little knowledge of cosmology in general, so I learnt a lot about the ideas and way that people have gone about hypothesising these candidates. I believe that our report is a very accessible introduction to basic cosmology and dark matter, and so I believe that it a success as I also evaluated candidates. It looks at present dark matter ideas as well as the origins of it. The personal skills which I have learnt are planning my research, carrying it out and finally writing it up. I believe that our report is a very accessible introduction to basic cosmology and dark matter, unlike a higher level research paper and therefore more people could gain a greater understanding of dark matter.  \\\\  I believe that to improve my work I could have included more of the mathematics behind the candidates, as sometimes that explains better than words. However this would have taken many more hours to be able to reach this level, and due to this if I was to develop this project in the future I would delve deeper into the maths behind it.  \subsection{Jessie Blackborough}  Within this project my My  role was to research the types of detection method and look at  the actually researching potential dark matter candidates,  the detector themselves. I had theory behind them and if they were a likely candidate or not. Due  tounderstand the data given back from  the experiments and research what this suggests in terms nature  of narrowing down possible dark matter candidates. many of the candidates  I had to look into the nature supersymmetry,  of which I had little previous knowledge; although before this project I had little knowledge of cosmology in general, so I learnt a lot about  the possible particles ideas  and collaborate with all other members of way that people have gone about hypothesising these candidates. Due to  the group fact that our report is a very basic one, simply giving a general overview as opposed  to understand how this impacts on detection methods, and why only certain methods are used. going deep into a single specific area,  I found believe  that it a success as it looks at present dark matter ideas as well as  the biggest challenge origins  of it. ///  The personal skills which I have learnt through planning my research, carrying it out and finally writing it up will be invaluable in later life. I believe that our report is a very accessible introduction to basic cosmology and dark matter, lacking  the whole project was complex terminology and equations of a higher level research paper and yet still practically anyone gain a greater  understandingthe result  of the experiments dark matter if they wish.///  I believe  that were conducted and going through all to improve my work I could have included more  of the information that was present in reports and on websites and finding what was mathematics behind  the most important candidates, as sometimes this explains better than words. However to reach this level would have taken much more time than we had,  and relevant due  to my topic of research. this if I were to develop this project in the future I would delegate more time into delving deeper into the maths behind it.///
