The LUX collaboration has assembled a team with the breadth of experience
and experience to design, construct and deploy a 300 kg active mass two-phase
Xe experiment that will extend current dark matter sensitivity two orders
of magnitude beyond current best limits, and to establish a clear leadership
role for the United States in the field of direct dark matter detection.
LUX is composed of the majority of the US groups from XENON10, the majority
of the US component of ZEPLIN II, and new groups that bring essential
experience in background rejection and rare event detection from the
large scale neutrino experiments such as SuperK, SNO, Kamland and Double
Chooz.
