Sentences with phrase «with liquid xenon»

Buried almost 1500 metres deep in a former South Dakota gold mine, LUX scans for signs of dark matter interacting with liquid xenon.

Not exact matches

An international team of physicists is preparing XENON100, a simple experiment with a huge ambition: to record the moment when a bit of dark matter — known as a weakly interacting massive particle, or WIMP — smacks into the nucleus of an atom of liquid xenon, triggering a flash of light and an electric charge.

Experiments with xenon include XENON100 and LUX, and the other proposed noble liquid experiments include ZEPLIN and ArDM.

The way we go about this search is to wait for a particle of dark matter to come into contact with our device, which is basically a pot of liquid xenon [an element that is used, in gas form, in the very bright headlights of many new cars] sandwiched between two detectors.

You can't see it with the naked eye, so to detect this light, we have 178 extremely sensitive one - pixel cameras, called photomultipliers, above and below the liquid - xenon - filled detector.

These rockets — powered by ionized xenon gas — produce very low thrust compared with their solid - or liquid - fueled cousins, but use so little propellant that they last much longer.

LUX consists of one - third ton of liquid xenon surrounded with sensitive light detectors.

«The krypton mixes uniformly in the liquid xenon and emits radiation with a known, specific energy, but then quickly decays away to a stable, non-radioactive form,» said Dan McKinsey, a UC Berkeley physics professor and co-spokesperson for LUX who is also an affiliate with Berkeley Lab.

A squabble then ensued over whether XENON researchers properly calibrated their detector, which was filled with 100 kilograms of frigid liquid xXENON researchers properly calibrated their detector, which was filled with 100 kilograms of frigid liquid xenonxenon.

LUX consists of a third - of - a-ton of liquid xenon surrounded with sensitive light detectors.
