The LUX dark matter experiment is a 370 kg time projection chamber that aims to directly detect galactic dark matter for the first time 1 mile underground.
Lead, South Dakota
Joined February 2011
V2 of final LUX SI result paper is out, submitted to @PhysRevLett. Now includes 2013 exposure. 1.1e-46 cm2 @ 50 GeV

Our final SI dark matter result paper is now officially published on @PhysRevLett :
journals.aps.org
No dark matter particles have been observed by two of the world's most sensitive direct-detection experiments, casting doubt on a favored dark matter model.
