Research summary
Precise cosmological measurements coupled with astronomical evidence tell us we live in a universe made up of contributions of 68% from ‘Dark Energy’, responsible for the accelerating expansion of the Universe, 5% baryonic ‘normal’ matter, and the remaining 27% from a ‘Dark Matter’ component. However, the nature of the dark elements remain unknown. My research focus is the experimental search for Dark Matter. Thermal relics left over from the Big Bang make compelling candidates for Dark Matter, with Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) a favoured solution, present today as the glue holding galaxies together. If these WIMPs were to collide with an atom in a detector, the energy of the recoiling nucleus could be recorded to detect the collision. However, the energy would be tiny. Moreover, this is expected to be an extremely rare process. Experimental searches must then operate detectors with very low energy thresholds, and very low background from regular radioactivity that might mask the faint Dark Matter signal. This means constructing some of the most sensitive and radioactively clean detectors in the world, and operating them deep underground to shield them from cosmic radiation.
