>> or the far bigger next version of the PandaX detector, currently under development in China... Has there ever been an article about particle physics that didnt end with a statement about the "next and bigger" version of the current detector. The field has an addiction. No matter the size/luminocity, they will only ever crave a bigger hit. One wonders if we should measure detectors as we do nuclear bombs: by the kiloton mass of thier detection medium. The DUNE detector would be a 70 kiloton-class detector. Super-Kamiokande, 50kt. IceCube would be approaching a gigaton.
