Very little is known about dark matter except that it is present in our Universe in abundance. The project aims to guide the search for dark matter particles (and study related phenomena, for example, baryogenesis). The guiding idea is that these particles interact, albeit weakly, with atoms and hence are able to ionise them, which is a detectable process.

人们对暗物质知之甚少，只知道它大量存在于我们的宇宙中。该项目旨在指导寻找暗物质粒子(并研究相关现象，例如重子发生)。指导思想是，这些粒子与原子相互作用，尽管很弱，因此能够使它们电离，这是一个可以检测到的过程。
