SAN FRANCISCO, July 21 (Xinhua) -- An 20-month experiment by Large Underground Xenon, or LUX, has come to an end, narrowing the search for, but failing to find, an elusive particle that should be everywhere.


The experiment operated beneath a mile, or 1.6 kilometer, of rock at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in the former Homestake gold mine in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Its mission: to detect so-called weakly interactive massive particles, or WIMPS, that some physicists think comprise the mysterious dark matter that makes up 85 percent of all the matter in the universe.


If the WIMP hypothesis is correct, billions of these particles pass through our bodies every second, as well as Earth and everything on it. But because WIMPs interact so weakly with ordinary matter, this ghostly traverse goes entirely unnoticed.


Despite the LUX team' s non-discovery, the researchers have narrowed the mass-range in which the putative particle can exist, focusing future searches within that range.


"The extra experiment gave us more sensitivity in searching for high-mass dark matter particles," Daniel McKinsey, a University of California, Berkeley, professor of physics and senior faculty scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and co-spokesperson for LUX, was quoted as saying by a news release from the school on Thursday. "Many theorists think that the dark matter mass will be high, around a thousand times the mass of a proton."


The experiment provided about four times better sensitivity to high-mass particles than earlier underground experiments that began in 2013. LUX' s sensitivity far exceeded the original goals for the project, according to McKinsey, which makes the team confident that if dark matter particles had interacted with the LUX' s xenon target, the detector would almost certainly have seen it. That enables them to eliminate many potential models for dark matter particles, offering guidance for the next generation of dark matter experiments.


Key to the improved sensitivity was a calibration technique that allowed the researchers to remove sources of noise caused by electrons building up on the inner Teflon coating of the tank holding a third-of-a-ton of cooled liquid xenon. If a WIMP collided with of a xenon atom within the tank, sensors inside would detect the tiny flash of light and electrical charge created.


"Teflon is a terrific reflector of light, but it builds up electrons, which distort the electric field we use to detect the effects of dark matter," McKinsey said. "So we relied on our calibrations to compensate. That was fairly tricky and took a lot of effort."


The data analysis alone took more than 1,000 computer nodes at Brown University' s Center for Computation and Visualization (CCV) in Rhode Island and the advanced computer simulations at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory' s National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) in northern California.


While the experiment eliminated a large swath of mass ranges and interaction-coupling strengths where WIMPs might exist, the WIMP model itself "remains alive and viable," said Rick Gaitskell, a professor of physics at Brown University and co-spokesperson for the LUX experiment. "LUX was racing over the last three years to get first evidence for a dark matter signal. We will now have to wait and see if the new run this year at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will show evidence of dark matter particles, or if the discovery occurs in the next generation of larger direct detectors."


CERN, short for European Organization for Nuclear Research, is based in Geneva, Switzerland.


First constructed in 2011, LUX completed its final search in May, and now will be upgraded to a more sensitive experiment called LUX-ZEPLIN that draws in researchers who built a similar underground dark matter detector in the United Kingdom called ZEPLIN.


Over the years the World has evolved to make us more dependent on digital devices. At present Mariners Ken Griffey Jersey , virtually every aspect of our lives requires a digital device. Another factor that has changed is the pace of life. Today, with the versatility that life provides Mariners Edgar Martinez Jersey , multitasking is a skill that needs to be mastered. Thus, mobility of these digital devices is essential to multitask conveniently. The ideal device to accomplish a multitude of tasks via a digital device is your mobile phone.
As a resident of the United Kingdom Mariners Felix Hernandez Jersey , you would know that there are hordes of options available if you are looking to purchase this all important device. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to order phones online. As aforementioned, the dependency of digital devices is primarily due to the internet which can be capitalized on when you are looking to purchase a phone. Another compelling advantage of the internet is the ability to find cheap mobiles that fit your budget while providing value at the same time.


There are numerous ways to do this Mariners Nelson Cruz Jersey , due to the ease of information collection online, there are several price comparison sites that analyze and compare various online mobile phone stores side by side Mariners Robinson Cano Jersey , in fact, there are sites that are specifically setup to compare UK mobile phone deals. Another option would be to use the UK version of the monopolistic shopping website Mariners Ichiro Suzuki Jersey , eBay. EBay has a vast array of new as well as used phones available for sale. It is important to note that since it is a consumer to consumer website, special attention should be paid to the details.


When purchasing from sites such as eBay Authentic Gordon Beckham Jersey , analyzing the reputation of the sellers (which is usually awarded based on a points system by other buyers) is key to ensuring an anticipated and functioning mobile phone as far as the condition of the device is concerned. In addition, familiarize yourself with the return policy and all costs involved for shipping Authentic Carlos Ruiz Jersey , express delivery, etc. If you are looking to order. wholesale air max black friday cheap jordan shoes Cheap Air Max Cheap Air Max 97 Cheap Nike Air Max Shoes nike air max 270 wholesale china womens air max shoes wholesale Cheap Air Max 270 Womens Air Jordan 1 For Sale Air Max 1 Clearance
