      Interesting question. Unfortunately I do not, but I have a colleague in the US, Dr. Sinead Griffin, who is looking at materials that could be used to detect dark matter. Prof. Lisa Randall at Harvard is also looking at this question.
      You could also find good info on cern.ch and Prof. Jon Butterworth at UCL has written lots about accelerators

      No, but my best friend does! She works at the particle accelerator near San Francisco in USA. There she collides electrons together to understand what they are made of.
      It is a really interesting, but complicated subject. I wish I understood more of what happens.
