Dark matter experiments at Boulby mine
The Boulby Dark Matter Collaboration (BDMC) is running several experiments
for particle (WIMP) dark matter search in the Underground Boulby Laboratory.
These include a liquid xenon detector (ZEPLIN I) and a low pressure gas TPC
with directional sensitivity (DRIFT I). Next stage double-phase xenon detectors
ZEPLIN II and ZEPLIN III, and a new TPC DRIFT II will be installed at Boulby in
a few months. Recent results from the running experiments are discussed and
future programme towards large-scale detectors is presented.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Contribution to the Rencontres de Moriond -
