SUMMARY:The Riddle of the Invisible Universe\, Faculty Candidate Semin
 ar\, Matthew Szydagis\, UC Davis
DESCRIPTION:The majority of the matter in our Universe does not shine 
 in the form of the stars\, nor is it even made up of atoms. This “da
 rk matter” can be probed in experiments here on Earth\, where it can
  scatter off nuclei\, albeit rarely. I will discuss different technolo
 gies used in the quest for the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WI
 MP)\, a favorite dark matter candidate. Of special interest are the xe
 non-based detectors LUX (Large Underground Xenon) and LZ\, its multi-t
 on-scale\, next-generation successor. LUX has imposed the world’s st
 rictest limit on the WIMP interaction probability across a wide range 
 of WIMP masses\, and disagrees with the potential WIMP detection claim
 s of other experiments. I will also describe a complementary detection
  technique using small-scale bubble chambers. Lastly\, I will present 
 the landscape for the discovery potential for dark matter in the next 
 decade.
