Dark Matter experiment is a large research effort involving over 200 scientists and engineers at 40 institutions worldwide.

While dark matter is buttressed by numerous ... especially for the WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particle), in terms of rest mass/energy, from GeV to multi-TeV, and interaction cross sections ...

versus experiments investigating whether dark matter is an axion, a hypothetical elementary particle proposed in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD.) The WIMP idea is related to another idea ...

For decades scientists have been building detectors deep underground to search for dark matter ... undiscovered Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). They also figured that if you build ...

A proposed funding program for small- and medium-scale projects reveals insights into the science, logistical challenges, and ...

A definitive, direct detection of dark matter particles has yet to be made. There are several theories to account for what that particle might be like. The most favoured one has been the WIMP ...

From mysterious dark matter to the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei, the past 12 months have reiterated just how strange ...

The LUX-ZEPLIN Dark Matter Experiment (LZ), based at ... This is why very quiet and very sensitive particle detectors are ...

Physicists have long predicted that dark-matter experiments ... order of magnitude lower than most WIMP searches, says team member Qing Lin, an experimental particle physicist at the University ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent ...

The Lux-Zeplin (LZ) experiment is a next generation direct detection dark ... matter particles than its predecessor the LUX experiment. We are involved in the development of the simulation software ...
