FIRST-DEGREE MURDER.
CALENDAR SAYS RYAN'S ON
BEHAVIOR AND THE BRUTALITY WAS
PRIME EVEN GAVE HIM A NIGHTMARE.
RESEARCHERS AT THE STANFORD
UNDERGROUND LAB AND LEE SOUTH
DAKOTA ARE ANOTHER STEP CLOSER
TO POSSIBLY UNLOCKING THE
SCIENTIFIC SECRET THAT HAS
BAFFLED THEM FOR YEARS.
HOW TO ACCOUNT FOR HIDDEN
SUBSTANCE THAT MAKES UP NEARLY
1/3 OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE.:AND
WENT DEEP HILLS -- DEEP INTO
THE BLACK HILLS TO FIND SOME
LIGHT ON DARK MATTER.
WE CAN SEE AMPLE EVIDENCE
FOR THE EXISTENCE OF SOME SORT
OF MATERIAL WHICH IS CAUSING
THE GALAXIES TO FORM AND GALAXY
CLUSTERS TO FORM. THERE IS
PLENTY OF EVIDENCE UP IN THE
SKY THAT THIS DARK MATTER EXISTS
.
HOWEVER, DARK MATTER IS
SOMETHING RESEARCHERS HAVE NOT
BEEN ABLE TO STUDY BECAUSE IT
DOES NOT REACT VERY WELL WITH
MATTER HERE ON EARTH.
THE EXPERIMENT WE ARE
BUILDING, ITS JOB IS TO LOOK
FOR EXOTIC PARTICLES COMING
FROM OUTER SPACE, SUBATOMIC
PARTICLES THAT ARE NOT ADAMS,
SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN
SEEN BEFORE PASSING THROUGH THE
EARTH AND THE LABORATORY FROM
OUTER SPACE.
TO EXAMINE DARK MATTER
SCIENTIST NEED A CHEMICAL
ELEMENT CALLED LIQUID XENON AND
A VERY LARGE THERMOS TO HOLD
IT.
THE DARK MATTER DETECTOR IS
LOCATED ALMOST 5000 FEET
UNDERGROUND.
FOR THE LAST 5 YEARS, WE
HAVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER
IT WILL FIT AND NOW IT'S
UNDERGROUND AND IT'S READY TO
CONTINUE ITS JOURNEY IN THE
ASSEMBLY OF THE DETECTOR. WE
ARE REALLY EXCITED.
WITH THAT THERE IS
UNDERGROUND, RESEARCHERS ARE
ABLE TO HAVE PURE LIQUID XENON
FAR AWAY FROM RADIOACTIVE MERE
CEREALS UNDERGROUND AT THE
ABOVE GROUND.
XENON IS THE TARGET MATERIAL
AND WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR DARK
MATTER PARTICLES TO BE BOUNCING
OFF OF.
RINGING RESEARCHERS ONE STEP
CLOSER TO DISCOVERING WHAT
ALMOST 30% OF OUR UNIVERSE IS.
IN NEED, VICKI THORSON,
KELOLAND NEWS.
THE SANFORD LAB RESEARCHERS
IN 2020 WILL START TAKING DATA
TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE.
TO FIND OUT ABOUT DARK MATTER,
THE EXPERIMENT IS FUNDED FOR 5
YEARS.
A ONE AND A WOMAN IN A
FLIGHT SUIT IS A FITTING
