Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While theoretical predictions hint at its abundance, detecting this ...

Dark matter particles interact with the Xenon bath in a unique way, facilitating the possibility of detecting the presence of the evasive particles. The results of the LUX experiment also prove early ...

The race to build the most sensitive direct-detection dark matter experiment got a bit more competitive with the Department of Energy’s approval of a key construction milestone on Feb.9.

The last time Gaitskell arranged for a rendezvous with the particles, he came close to detecting them but failed to produce conclusive results. This time around, the determined physicist has a new set ...

Akerib: Xenon detectors will either close this chapter of the dark matter story—by detecting it or by reaching a fundamental limit imposed by nature, something we call the neutrino fog.

Neutrinos are fundamental particles characterized by no electric charge and very small masses, which are known to interact ...

For instance, research employing xenon-based detectors has set new constraints on the electromagnetic interaction parameters of dark matter, refining limits on properties such as millicharge and ...

Dark matter is thought to outnumber regular matter by a factor of five to one – so why can’t we find the stuff? A new study proposes looking for it from space, using a satellite containing a ...

Teresa Marrodán Undagoitia has been appointed as professor by special appointment in Novel Detection and Analysis Techniques for Dark Matter and Neutrino Experiments at the Faculty of ...
