LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ)

Four large meshes made from 2 miles of metal wire will extract potential signals of dark matter particles.

These projects, selected during the process to plan the future of US particle physics, are all set to come online within the next 10 years.

SLAC engineer Knut Skarpaas designs some of physics’ most challenging machines, finding inspiration in unexpected places.

Around the world, scientists and non-scientists alike celebrated the first international Dark Matter Day.

System tests at SLAC continue with 32 light sensors - up from a single one - in a small-scale version of the future experiment, which will use nearly 500 of them.

The emeritus physicist was honored for the development of novel detectors that have greatly advanced experiments in particle physics, especially BABAR, which looked into the matter-antimatter imbalance of the universe.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are on a quest to solve one of physics’ biggest mysteries: What exa

Scientists furthered studies of the Higgs boson, neutrinos, dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation and continued the search for undiscovere

Underground experiment passes critical DOE review and prepares for startup in 2020.

In its final run, the LUX experiment increased its sensitivity four-fold, but dark matter remains elusive.

A small-scale version of the future detector allows researchers and engineers to test, develop and troubleshoot various aspects of its technology.

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.
