GAPS

The General AntiParticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is a proposed balloon-borne experiment to search for signatures of dark matter annihilations in the cosmic rays. GAPS will carry out a highly sensitive search for anti-deuterons in the energy range below 1 GeV - these particles would be a signature for annihilating supersymmetric (SUSY) dark matter. GAPS is proposed for a long-duraction balloon flight in Antarctica.

ZEPLIN

The ZEPLIN project aims to detect dark matter using a technique which uses liquid Xenon (Xe). The project makes use of two-phase Xe detector to record the recoil interactions of Weak Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). On the right is shown a conceptual drawing for the ZEPLIN II detector to be located in the Boulby Mine, near Sheffield, England. This detector is being constructed by a collaboration of institutions of which UCLA is a leading member.
