Construction Begins on One of the World’s Most Sensitive Dark Matter Experiments
The SuperCDMS SNOLAB project, a multi-institutional effort led by SLAC, is expanding the hunt for dark matter to particles with properties not accessible to any other experiment.
Three SLAC Scientists Receive DOE Early Career Research Grants
Zeeshan Ahmed, Frederico Fiuza and Emilio Nanni will each receive about $2.5 million over five years to pursue cutting-edge research into cosmic inflation, plasma acceleration and using terahertz waves to accelerate particles.
Symmetry: A New Search for Dark Matter 6,800 Feet Underground
Prototype tests of the future SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment are in full swing.
Symmetry: 1,000 Meters Below
Meet the world’s deepest underground physics facilities.
Three Ways to Bust Ghostly Dark Matter
Dark matter hunters around the world pursue three approaches to look for fingerprints of ghostly WIMPs: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space.
Symmetry: The Light Side of Dark Matter
New technology and new thinking are pushing the dark matter hunt to lower and lower masses.
Symmetry: Hitting the Neutrino Floor
Dark matter experiments are becoming so sensitive, even the ghostliest of particles will soon get in the way.
SLAC Assumes a Leading Role for SuperCDMS SNOLAB
When SuperCDMS SNOLAB turns on in 2018 at the underground science laboratory in Canada, it will be able to see dark matter particles 10 times lighter than previous searches.
