TL;DR: The ZEPLIN-III experiment in the Palmer Underground Laboratory at Boulby uses a 12 kg two-phase xenon time-projection chamber to search for the weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) that may account for the dark matter of our Galaxy as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: ZEPLIN-III as mentioned in this paper is a two-phase Xenon detector which measures both the scintillation light and the ionisation charge generated in the liquid by interacting particles and radiation.

TL;DR: Analysis of data from the first science run of ZEPLIN-III, a two-phase xenon experiment searching for galactic dark matter weakly interacting massive particles based at the Boulby mine, indicates that the sensitivity of xenon targets to the spin-dependent WIMP-proton interaction could be much lower than implied by previous calculations.
