WISPs are similar to WIMPs in some ways – e.g. they don’t interact very much at all with regular matter – but their key distinction is that they are very light in comparison.

While SABRE looks to search for WIMPs in the traditional mass range – that is to say 10s to 100s of times as heavy as a proton – it is also possible that WIMPs are lighter, perhaps a fraction of the mass of a proton.
Read MoreThe WIMP search has spawned numerous innovations in particle detector technology. To give a sense of the rapid rate of progress, the experimental sensitivity to WIMPs over the last two decades has increased more quickly than computer speeds (as described by ‘Moore’s Law’) during the 80s to 00s.
