Astroparticle Physics
	Prof. Katsushi Arisaka and Dr. Hanguo Wang Dark Matter Search
	The particle astrophysics group at UCLA, led by Prof. Katsushi Arisaka and Dr. Hanguo Wang, is actively involved in several experiments to search for the Dark Matter, using liquid Xenon and Argon. We have invented a radiation-free photon detector called QUPID. An REU student is expected to participate in testing this new detector.
