Symmetry: Dark Matter Evades Most Sensitive Detector
In its final run, the LUX experiment increased its sensitivity four-fold, but dark matter remains elusive.
Prototype of LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Detector Tested at SLAC
A small-scale version of the future detector allows researchers and engineers to test, develop and troubleshoot various aspects of its technology.
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.
LUX Experiment Draws Best Picture Yet of What Dark Matter Particles Cannot Be
Dark matter hunters of the LUX collaboration have ruled out a larger-than-ever range of properties that hypothetical dark matter particles might have had.
Xexon, Xenon Everywhere
It’s in the air we breathe, but it’s not so easy to get ahold of 10 metric tons of xenon in its liquid form for the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter experiment.
Symmetry: Miraculous WIMPs
What are WIMPs, and what makes them such popular dark matter candidates?
Symmetry: A Goldmine of Scientific Research
The underground home of the LUX dark matter experiment has a rich scientific history.
SLAC Gears Up for Dark Matter Hunt with LUX-ZEPLIN
Researchers at SLAC are setting up a test stand and liquid xenon purification system for the future LZ experiment, which is scheduled to begin its search for dark matter particles in 2019.
Construction of LSST Clean Room at SLAC Completed
SLAC scientists and engineers celebrated the completion of a new clean room, where the lab will assemble the camera of the future Large Synoptic Survey Telescope.
Q&A: Dark Matter Hunter Kimberly Palladino Helps Move Plans for LUX-ZEPLIN Experiment Forward
SLAC’s team of dark matter hunters recently gained a new member. Astrophysicist Kimberly Palladino joined the lab in October 2014 to develop a test facility for the future LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector, which will be the largest and most sensitive dark matter detector of its kind.
