Experiments of this sort include the xenon-based experiments XENON100 and LUX (the Large Underground Xenon Detector)—the experiment I mentioned above—as well as the argon-based detectors named ZEPLIN, DEAP, WARP, DArkSide, and ArDM.
I know I wanted more details about the experiments, but this isn't quite what I wanted. But at least Dr. Randall hasn't been interjecting her rock climbing and other details into this.
I think she had the dinosaur parts ghostwritten, and then went through and made them her own. They were dreadful.
As it is, Dr. Randall does not have the gift of writing that makes a pop-sci book work. Where the science is too basic, it drags, and where the science is too advanced there aren't explanations.
