ZEPLIN (ZonEd Proportional scintillation in LIquid Noble gases)

ZEPLIN (ZonEd Proportional scintillation in LIquid Noble gases) is a detector technology used to identify rare particles like dark matter. It works by using liquid noble gases such as xenon or argon, which emit tiny flashes of light (scintillations) when struck by particles. When a particle interacts, an electric field amplifies this light in a secondary region, creating a proportional burst. This process helps scientists detect and analyze these elusive particles with high sensitivity and precision, advancing our understanding of the universe.
