The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment is a 350-kg liquid xenon dark matter detector, using a two-phase time projection chamber to detect low-energy nuclear recoils, the predicted signal of WIMP-like dark matter candidates. It has successfully produced the current world-leading exclusion limit for spin-independent WIMP-nucleon interactions (7.6e−46 cm^2 at a WIMP mass of 33 GeV/c^2; Akerib et al, PRL, 2014) and is presently searching for dark matter interactions beyond that limit. The LUX collaboration is comprised of over 100 scientists from 20 institutions in the USA, UK, and Portugal, including 19 members of the LBL dark matter research group. The LBL team is involved in both operations and analysis for LUX. Please visit luxdarkmatter.org for more information.
