Journal ArticleDOI
Review of mathematics, numerical factors, and corrections for dark matter experiments based on elastic nuclear recoil
J.D. Lewin,P.F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic derivation and discussion of the practical formulae needed to design and interpret direct searches for nuclear recoil events caused by hypothetical weakly interacting dark matter particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dark matter detection
P.F. Smith,J.D. Lewin +1 more
TL;DR: There is increasing interest in the possibility of setting up terrestrial experiments for the direct detection of galactic dark matter on the hypothesis that this may consist of new types of elementary particle as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

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: The first underground data run of ZEPLIN-II, a 31 kg two-phase xenon detector developed to observe nuclear recoils from hypothetical weakly interacting massive dark matter particles, was reported in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A search for anomalous hydrogen in enriched D2O, using a time-of-flight spectrometer
TL;DR: In this article, a mass spectrometer search for heavy hydrogen-like atoms in an enriched D2O sample produced by the electrolysis of 6×103l commercial D 2O, the latter manufactured from 1.2×108l natural water.
