The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment is installed and operated 2km underground at the SNOLAB facility in Sudbury Ontario in Canada, to detect dark matter particles through weak-scale interactions with cryogenic cooled detectors.
2026-08-07: The SuperCDMS experiment at SNOLAB began its first science data-taking run, following a six month commissioning period for the newly installed experiment. supercdms.slac.stanford.edu/news-and-out...
