/“Searching for the Dark Matter of the Universe in South Dakota”/

*Abstract:*

The former Homestake gold mine in South Dakota has become a home to 
low-background science. The LUX experiment is located at the 4850' level 
of the Sanford Underground Research Facility, located in Lead, SD. I 
will present the first search for WIMP dark matter with the LUX 
detector, a time projection chamber using 300 kg of liquid xenon as a 
dark matter target, as well as the experimental program of the planned 7 
ton LZ experiment.
