Dark Matter Research

Several dozen experiments are now on the hunt for stronger evidence that dark matter exists, which is one of the major research subjects in modern physics. To do so, some of them use liquid Xe as a detection medium for WIMPs (Weakly interacting massive particles). When such a particle collides with a Xenon atom, it should, in theory, strip it of an electron and cause scintillation. The use of Xenon should make it possible to distinguish this interaction from other similar events caused by particles such as cosmic rays. All those researches will require a large quantity of Xenon without any technology alternative.

Krypton and Neon are also available as alternative molecules.
