Fundamental physics

The underground home of the LUX dark matter experiment has a rich scientific history.

The Large Hadron Collider broke its own record again in 13-trillion-electronvolt test collisions.

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.

Either Supersymmetry will be found in the next years of research at the Large Hadron Collider, or it isn’t exactly what theorists hoped it was.

The European Physical Society honors Bjorken’s theoretical work on the parton structure of the proton, which contributed to the development of a theory of the strong nuclear force.

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will take the most thorough survey ever of the Southern sky.

Dark Energy Survey scientists have released a detailed map of dark matter – crucial information for a better understanding of galaxy formation and dark energy.

Indirect detection experiments might be the key to discovering invisible dark matter.

Using a newly identified set of supernovae, researchers have found a way to measure distances in space twice as precisely as before.

Reports by groups including Dark Energy Survey and Large Area Telescope scientists may provide new clues about the properties of mysterious dark matter.

Two recent meetings at SLAC brought together experts working on computer hardware and software for LSST – a future telescope that will provide unprecedented views of the sky and may solve some of the biggest mysteries of the universe.

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.
