PICO

Pico}} PICO is an experiment searching for direct evidence of dark matter using a bubble chamber of chlorofluorocarbon (Freon) as the active mass. It is located at SNOLAB in Canada.

It was formed in 2013 from the merger of two similar experiments, PICASSO and COUPP.

PICASSO (Project In CAnada to Search for Supersymmetric Objects, or Projet d'Identification de CAndidats Supersymétriques SOmbres in French) was an international collaboration with members from the Université de Montréal, Queen's University, Indiana University South Bend and Czech Technical University in Prague, University of Alberta, Laurentian University and BTI, Chalk River, Ontario. PICASSO was predominantly sensitive to spin-dependent interactions of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) with fluorine atoms.

COUPP (Chicagoland Observatory for Underground Particle Physics) was a similar project with members from Fermilab, University of Chicago, and Indiana University. Prototypes were tested in the MINOS experiment far hall, with a scaled-up experiment also operating at SNOLAB. It used trifluoroiodomethane (CF3I) as the medium. Provided by Wikipedia
