@jaceblog.bsky.socialWhat if the particle never appears?
Non-detections still narrow the possibilities, shape new experiments, and test our models.
We have not found the particle.
We have learned where it cannot hide.
Every limit teaches us something.

@jaceblog.bsky.socialTHE 60-TONNE HUNT
XLZD aims to scale the search with about 60 tonnes of liquid xenon and a target exposure of 200 tonne-years.
A larger detector and longer observation could probe rarer interactions, not guarantee discovery.
The next generation looks deeper.
@jaceblog.bsky.socialTHE QUIETEST PLACE ON EARTH
Finding dark matter means rejecting everything that can imitate it.
Deep underground, water shields, muon vetoes, ultra-pure xenon, and screened materials help silence cosmic and radioactive backgrounds.

@jaceblog.bsky.socialDARK MATTER CAPTURE
Real underground labs are hunting for dark matter right now, using tanks of ultra-pure liquid shielded from the world above.
What if one of them already got the signal?
And never told anyone?
