Here is the #SURF laboratory's press release on the #LZ anomalous event observation. The Sanford Laboratory hosts the experiment.

The #LZ #darkmatter experiment is operated by an international collaboration, but it’s hosted at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, 4850 ft underground in the Homestake Mine in Lead, South Dakota.

I had the privilege of visiting #SURF in 2025, getting a tour, and giving a public lecture. You can see some videos from SURF here:
