The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment analyzed the largest dataset ever collected by a dark matter detector. The record-breaking results provide the strongest constraints yet on low-mass WIMPs, proposed dark matter particles.
The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment at SURF proved the viability of new methods in the search for ultra-rare physics events. As the experiment decommissions, the lessons learned continue to drive future discovery.
In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins.
At the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), hovercraft technology is being used to efficiently move massive steel beams for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility/Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
South Dakota State University researchers are modeling the flow of liquid argon through the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) being built a mile under South Dakota’s Black Hills.
