"China's Massive Underground Lab Joins Quest for Dark Matter"
The China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) has become the world's largest and deepest underground facility, located beneath 2,400 meters of rock in Sichuan Province, and is now operational with upgraded dark matter detectors. Scientists at the lab are searching for dark matter particles, particularly WIMPS, using the Particle and Astrophysical Xenon Experiments (PandaX) and the China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX). The facility's depth and access make it a promising location for detecting elusive dark matter particles and potentially answering fundamental questions about the nature of dark matter.
