    The CoGeNT dark matter detector has been taking data at the Soudan mine since December 2009. The data have been analyzed for a possible WIMP signal using multi-dimensional PDFs in energy, time, and pulse rise-time. The bulk event (fast rise-time pulses) and surface (slow rise-time) event fractions are determined through this analysis. We have also done extensive simulations of backgrounds...

    The LUX (Large Underground Xenon) experiment is performing a direct-detection search for WIMP dark matter using a two-phase liquid xenon TPC. The target mass is 370 kg (100 kg fiducial), making it the largest such detector in operation and providing excellent self-shielding. Additional background rejection is provided by nuclear recoil discrimination via simultaneous detection of charge and...
