Korea Invisible Mass Search

Korea Invisible Mass Search (KIMS) refers to a scientific experiment and collaboration aimed at detecting dark matter, which is a fundamental component of the universe that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to traditional observational methods. KIMS is primarily focused on using direct detection methods to observe dark matter particles, particularly in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The KIMS collaboration operates underground to minimize interference from cosmic rays and other background radiation.
