Description

Weakly Interacting Mass Particle (WIMP) is one of the best dark matter candidate. The Large Underground Xenon experiment have set the world leading upper limits on Spin Independent WIMP interaction cross section in the first 2013 analysis. The improved analysis presented here increased our sensitivity by a factor of 100 for low mass and 33% for higher mass WIMP models.
