The rules are simple when you live the way Eddie and his sister, Maya, do: lay low, trust no one, and make sure you have plenty of duct tape on hand. But Maya is growing up fast. She’s forgetting how to play the game and Eddie is finding it harder and harder to keep them both safe from the outside w

✦ Synopsis
The Picasso project is a dark matter search experiment based on the superheated droplet technique. Preliminary runs performed at the Picasso Laboratory in Montreal showed the suitability of this detection technique to the search for weakly interacting cold dark matter particles. In July 2002, a new phase of the project started. A batch of six 1-liter detectors with an active mass of approximately 40 g was installed in a gallery of the SNO observatory in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada at a depth of 6,800 feet (2,070 m). We give a status report on the new experimental setup, data analysis, and preliminary limits on spin-dependent neutralino interaction cross section.
