PROSPECT is a short-baseline reactor antineutrino experiment designed to make a reactor model-independent search for eV-scale sterile neutrino oscillation and measure the 235U antineutrino energy spectrum from the High Flux Isotope Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. PROSPECT consists of a 4-ton, highly-segmented 6Li-loaded liquid scintillator detector operated at baselines ranging from...

CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) is a direct dark matter search experiment located in the underground site of the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. It uses scintillating CaWO4 crystals operated as cryogenic calorimeters at mK temperatures optimized for the detection of nuclear recoils of 100eV and below. The experiment in its current...

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is an astroparticle experiment under construction at the 4850’ level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, USA. LZ will explore the hypothesis that dark matter is comprised of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The centerpiece of the experiment is a two-phase liquid xenon TPC containing seven active tonnes of WIMP target material....
