World’s most sensitive dark matter detector gets better
Brown University | 2015 Dec 14

A new set of calibrations has improved the sensitivity of the LUX experiment, which had already proven itself to be the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector. The new results deliver a very significant improvement in potential dark matter detections at low particle masses, and give scientists higher confidence in LUX's sensitivity as the search for elusive dark matter particles continues. ...
