New Constraints on Wimps from the Canfranc Igex Dark Matter Search
The IGEX Collaboration enriched Ge double-beta decay detectors are currently operating in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory with an overburden of 2450 m.w.e. A recent upgrade has made it possible to use them in a search for WIMPs. A new exclusion plot, σ(m), has been derived for WIMP-nucleon spin-independent interaction. To obtain this result, 30 days of data from one IGEX detector, which has...
متن کاملImproved Constraints on Wimps from the International Germanium Experiment Igex
One IGEX Ge double-beta decay detector is currently operating in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory in a search for dark matter WIMPs, through the Ge nuclear recoil produced by the WIMP elastic scattering. A new exclusion plot, σ(m), has been derived for WIMP-nucleon spin-independent interactions. To obtain this result, 40 days of data from the IGEX detector (energy threshold Ethr ∼ 4 keV), re...
متن کاملParticle Dark Matter and Solar Axion Searches with a small germanium detector at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
A small, natural abundance, germanium detector (COSME) has been operating recently at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (Spanish Pyrenees) in improved conditions of shielding and overburden with respect to a previous operation of the same detector [1, 2]. An exposure of 72.7 kg day in these conditions has at present a background improvement of about one order of magnitude compared to the form...
متن کاملFirst Results of the Rosebud Dark Matter Experiment
ROSEBUD (Rare Objects SEarch with Bolometers UndergrounD) is an experiment which attempts to detect low mass Weak Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) through their elastic scattering off Al and O nuclei. It consists of three small sapphire bolometers (of a total mass of 100 g) with NTD-Ge sensors in a dilution refrigerator operating at 20 mK in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory. We report i...
متن کاملStatus of the ANAIS experiment at Canfranc
The present status of the ANAIS experiment (Annual Modulation with NaI’s) is shown. ANAIS is intended to use more than 100 kg of NaI(Tl) in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (Spain) searching for seasonal modulation effects in the WIMP signal; in a first stage, a prototype (one single 10.7 kg crystal) has been developed in order to obtain the best conditions regarding the energy threshold and...
