This proposal has been approved for (1) building and equipping a low-radioactivity 10 kg (fiducial) volume prototype liquid xenon detector and (2) testing this aforementioned detector in an underground laboratory to ascertain the energy threshold sensitivity, beta and nuclear collision separation capability, long-term stability, and ultimately the dark matter flux.

该提议已获批准，用于：（1）建造和装备一个低放射性的10公斤（基准）体积的原型液体氙探测器;（2）在地下实验室测试上述探测器，以确定能量阈值灵敏度、β和核碰撞分离能力、长期稳定性，并最终确定暗物质通量。
