(October 31, 2018) Three Berkeley Lab scientists share their expertise and insights about Dark Matter and the experiments designed to search for it. 

Dan McKinsey, a Berkeley Lab faculty senior scientist and UC Berkeley physics professor, is participating in the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector project now in development at the 
Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. He is also leading the effort to build a liquid helium detector as a demonstration experiment that will search for low-mass dark matter particles.

Simone Pagan-Griso is a staff scientist and divisional fellow at Berkeley Lab who participates in the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN. He is involved in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

Matt Pyle is a Garland Assistant Professor of physics at UC Berkeley and an affiliate in the Physics Division at Berkeley Lab. He has been involved with the SuperCDMS (Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) dark matter detection experiment at SNOLAB in Ontario, Canada, and he is also involved with a low-mass dark matter demonstration experiment planned by Berkeley Lab and UC Berkeley that uses specialized crystals.
