Facts and practical information

The Large Underground Xenon experiment aimed to directly detect weakly interacting massive particle dark matter interactions with ordinary matter on Earth. Despite the wealth of evidence supporting the existence of non-baryonic dark matter in the Universe, dark matter particles in our galaxy have never been directly detected in an experiment. LUX utilized a 370 kg liquid xenon detection mass in a time-projection chamber to identify individual particle interactions, searching for faint dark matter interactions with unprecedented sensitivity.
