Status and future plans of the experiment PICASSO searching for Dark Matter

2007 
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.
