Newswire: 2 May 2013 - Fermilab - New dark matter detector begins search for invisible particles

Scientists this week heard their first pops in an experiment that searches for signs of dark matter in the form of tiny bubbles. Scientists will need further analysis to discern whether dark matter caused any of the COUPP-60 experiment's first bubbles. "Our goal is to make the most sensitive detector to see signals of particles that we don't understand," said Hugh Lippincott, a postdoc with the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory who has spent much of the past several mo...
