Current Science Program
- LUX - Large Underground Xenon Experiment (Dark Matter Search)
- Direct search for WIMPs using 350 kg xenon within ultra-pure titanium cryosta
- Surface Laboratory checkout activities to exercise procedures, test installation
and detector operations just wrapping up for transition to Davis Campus
MJD - MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR (Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay)
- Investigate neutrinoless double beta decay using 40 kg Ge in two cryostats
(start with natural Ge, add up to 30 kg enriched 76Ge)
- Electroforming copper for detector shielding on 4850L
- Will deploy detector in Davis Campus; Experiment is a pathfinder for 1-tonne
scale
- Biology, Geology, Engineering (BGE) experiments operational at SURF
- Program of characterization (including physics): Biology sampling, seismic/
frequency, microclimate, physics backgrounds
- Includes Center for Ultralow Background Experiments in the Dakotas (CUBED
(EPSCoR/SD) experiment planned for installation in the Davis Campus

Extending the life of the lab
We have current proposals in to the NSF & DOE;
- DIANA (Nuclear astrophysics) would run 2015 through 2022 +.
- LZ (2nd generation Dark Matter) would run from 2015 through 2022.
- Low Background Counting Facility would run throughout all experiments.
- LBNE (Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment) would run from 2016 through 2040
- Reengaging the NSF for Geology, Biology and other experiments
