In the 1990s and 2000s, he was engaged in the search for dark matter in the form of WIMPs. He developed cryogenic detectors to discover these WIMPs through the 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. Karl van Bibber, APS, about SuperCDMS, 2009
In 2013 he received the Panofsky Prize with Blas Cabrera. Sadoulet is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, (search on year=1991 and nominating unit=DAP) the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2012 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Since 1985 he is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. There from 1989 to 2001 he was director of the Center for Particle Astrophysics. He is currently the director of the LBNL Institute for Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (INPA).
His doctoral students include Vuk Mandic.
