Abstract

The PICASSO (Project in Canada to Search for Supersymmetric Objects) is looking for non-baryonic cold dark matter via nuclear scattering in high-purity large-mass superheated droplets detectors. The collaboration has finished the Phase I of the experiment (3 detector modules, around 7 g of active mass, each). Currently the second phase of the experiment is being set up at SNOLAB in which 32-detector modules (of 4.5 l volume each) is being installed. Upon completion, the underground detection array will have a total of 2 kg of active mass. Expected performance and future plans are also discussed.
