Colliders join the hunt for dark energy
The ATLAS collaboration carried out a first collider search for light scalar particles that could contribute to the accelerating expansion of the universe.
Report summarises dark-sector exploration
ATLAS has recently released a summary gathering the results from more than 20 experimental searches for dark matter and a first collider search for dark energy.
The deepest clean lab in the world
The great depth and cleanliness of SNOLAB allows the study of extremely rare interactions and weak processes.
Defeating the background in the search for dark matter
A global effort is under way to carry out a complete search for high-mass dark-matter particles using an experiment called DarkSide-20k.
CMS looks into the dark
If dark-QCD mediators were produced in pairs in the CMS detector, their signature would be striking.
Search for WISPs gains momentum
Interest is growing in new experiments that probe dark-matter candidates such as axions and other very weakly interacting sub-eV particles.
Largest WIMP survey sets new limits
XENON1T is a 3D-imaging liquid-xenon time projection chamber located at Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy.
Study links solar activity to exotic dark matter
The temporal distribution of solar flares is correlated with the positions of the Earth, Mercury and Venus.
CMS expands scope of dark-matter search in dijet channel
Using three complementary techniques, CMS has now explored a large range in mass, coupling and width.
XENON1T releases first data
XENON1T is the first tonne-scale detector of its kind and is designed to search for WIMP dark matter by measuring nuclear recoils from WIMP–nucleus scattering.
