Description
PICO is currently fielding two large dark matter bubble chamber detectors at SNOLAB.
PICO-40L is the first of a new type of dark matter detector using an improved detector geometry. The detector was recently refurbished with a new cooling system and is operating now at SNOLAB.
At the same time PICO-500, a large dark matter bubble chamber following the same principle as PICO-40L is under construction. Major detector components have been received and are being prepared for shipment to SNOLAB.
We will present our experimental progress and and recent data analysis.
