An article in Nature reports a negative result from the LUX experiment's attempt to directly detect dark matter:

Can anyone give some context? How does its sensitivity compare with that of previous experiments of this type? Are the different experiments sensitive to different things (e.g., WIMPs with different masses)? Is there a preprint on arxiv?
