The international SuperCDMS (Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search) collaboration is attempting to make the first direct detection of a dark matter particle by sensing the tiny vibrations caused by its collision with ordinary matter.

Based at SNOLAB, SuperDMS is one of five TRIUMF-SNOLAB collaborations involving some of the world’s most advanced experiments in DM detection (also DEAP-3600) and neutrino science (SNO+, nEXO and HALO). SNOLAB is the deepest underground laboratory in North America, based two-kilometers under Sudbury, Ontario.
