Question 1 experiments

AION logo

AION

The project proposes to construct and operate a next-generation Atomic Interferometric Observatory and Network (AION) in the UK that will enable the exploration of properties of dark matter as well as searches for new fundamental interactions.

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ)

LZ is searching for interactions of elusive dark matter particles deep underground

SHiP

The SHiP experiment will search for very weakly-interacting long-lived and relatively low mass particles, including Heavy Neutral Leptons, right-handed partners of the active neutrinos; supersymmetric particles, such as sgoldstinos; or new scalar-, axion- or vector- particles.
