A brief test has proven that the new LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector is the most sensitive ever. It may be our best bet for finally finding dark matter particles
The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota is the most sensitive everThe search for dark matter just got a fresh pair of eyes. A test run of the LUX-ZEPLIN detector in South Dakota has shown it to be the most sensitiveLZ consists of a huge titanium tank filled with 10 tonnes of extremely. When a particle from outside the tank hits a xenon atom, it creates a burst of light that is measured by a series of detectors surrounding the tank.
“The centre of LZ is the purest place on Earth, maybe in the solar system. There’s no other volume of space on or in this planet that is that free of radiation and dust,” says LZ team member at University College London. “We can only handle about a gram of dust in the detector – 3 grams of dust and we won’t be able to find anything.”
