Video: Dark Matter Hunt with LUX-ZEPLIN
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are on a quest to solve one of physics’ biggest mysteries: What exactly is dark matter – the invisible substance that accounts for 85 percent of all the matter in the universe but can’t be seen even with our most advanced scientific instruments?
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.
Standard Model of the Universe Withstands Most Precise Test by Dark Energy Survey
SLAC and Stanford astrophysicists made crucial contributions to the galaxy survey, showing that the universe clumps and expands as predicted by our best cosmological models.
Fermi Satellite Observes Billionth Gamma Ray with LAT Instrument
Sensitive gamma-ray “eye” on NASA’s Fermi space telescope continues to provide unprecedented views of violent phenomena in the cosmos.
Origin of Milky Way’s Hypothetical Dark Matter Signal May Not Be So Dark
An excess of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way, previously discussed as a sign of dark matter, is likely caused by the superdense remains of ancient stars.
