ADMX is an axion haloscope located at the Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) at the University of Washington. The experiment uses a strong magnetic field to convert dark matter axions to detectable to microwave photons.

DARWIN, LZ and XENONnT have the same scientific goals but differ in technical details. XLZD are able to explore and select the best options from both worlds, strengthening R&D efforts by combining ideas and resources.
Read MoreThe Centre’s main effort in WISP detection is what is known as The Oscillating Resonant Group AxioN Experiment, or ORGAN for short
Read MoreThe WIMP search has spawned numerous innovations in particle detector technology. To give a sense of the rapid rate of progress, the experimental sensitivity to WIMPs over the last two decades has increased more quickly than computer speeds (as described by ‘Moore’s Law’) during the 80s to 00s.
Read MoreWhile most experimental searches for WIMP dark matter have come up empty, there is one experiment, known as DAMA, that has claimed to have detected dark matter, and no one has yet been able to confirm or refute the claim.
