XENON1T Shows WIMP to be More Elusive than Previously Thought
On May 28th the Xenon collaboration simultaneously broadcast multiple lectures detailing the latest result in a ∼ 30 year search for the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles (also known as WIMPs). This announcement demarcates the first time a direct detection experiment has operated a tonne scale detector for ∼ 1 year – the largest milestone established by the original XENON collaboration nearly twenty years ago.
