Experiments

From cutting-edge research in physics to breakthroughs in biology to pioneering geothermal research, SURF hosts experiments that push the frontier.

LUX-ZEPLIN

LZ is 100x more sensitive to finding signals from dark matter particles than its predecessor, the Large Underground Xenon experiment (LUX).

- Present

Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment

DUNE comprises state-of-the-art particle detectors: one at Fermilab and one deep underground at SURF. The far detector will be the largest of its type ever built and record neutrino interactions with unprecedented precision.

Majorana Demonstrator

The Majorana Demonstrator investigated the imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe—and they mystery of why we exist at all.

  • LUX

    When LUX completed its 300-live-day run in May of 2016, the world learned LUX was even more sensitive than previously determined.

  • Davis Experiment

    In 1965, a chemist by the name of Ray Davis began an experiment to detect neutrinos coming from the sun. In 2002 he would be awarded a share of the Nobel Prize for his work.

  • Transparent Earth

    A seismic observatory deep underground has sensors at four locations. Transparent Earth could help fulfill broad goals for geophysical monitoring of the earth.
