Zeplin-Iii

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract / Description of output

The direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles by a terrestrial device is widely recognised as a definitive proof of the cold dark matter hypothesis and a robust test of physics beyond the Standard Model. ZEPLIN-III is one of the latest generation of instruments specifically designed for this objective. This instrument has developed the two-phase liquid-gas xenon technology, and features high-field extraction, open plan geometry and low background compoments. Here we present the status of the project as of February 2008.
