Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

| Description | We built and operated an instrument designed to search for the missing 'dark matter' that is thought to constitute about 85% of the matter in our galaxy. Proving the existence of this material would advance both astronomy and fundamental particle physics. Our results are among the best in the world. This award allowed the project to continue, to deliver a better science return |
| Exploitation Route | Improved techniques and methodologies |
| Sectors | Other |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | We converted the raw plastic scintillator in to a very successful anti-coincidence veto detector upgrade for the project |
| Collaborator Contribution | ITEP contributed ~1 tonne of plastic scintillator. They were also full partners in the project, providing support in operations, analysis, data reduction, etc. |
| Impact | In addition to papers, there is the veto detector itself. |
