During my Undergraduate and Master’s program I was heavily involved in the construction and analysis for DEAP-3600 (dark matter experiment). Featured is the detector nearly completed construction. The copper cylinders conduct heat to keep the light sensors warm, as the liquid argon is around -200 Celsius! Between the copper cylinders are white plastic blocks that are insulation and shielding from background radiation that might masquerade as dark matter. The three stylized images are generated using a neural network that takes a style from another painting. The most recognizable one is in the style of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
