Bernard Sadoulet (born 23 April 1944 in Nice)[1] is a French physicist.
Sadoulet studied from 1963 to 1965 at the École polytechnique and received his doctorate in 1971 at University of Paris-Sud in Orsay.
He developed cryogenic detectors to discover these WIMPs through the phonons they generated by collisions in crystals.
Specifically, he initiated the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) experiments at the Soudan Underground Laboratory in Minnesota with Blas Cabrera Navarro.
He is currently the director of the LBNL Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (INPA).
