First Results of Tokyo Dark Matter Search with a Lithium Fluoride Bolometer

چکیده
The First results of the Tokyo dark matter search programme using a 21-g lithium fluoride bolometer are presented. The background spectrum was measured in the surface laboratory. We derive an exclusion plot for the spin-dependently coupled Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) cross section.

Limits on the WIMP-Nucleon Coupling Coefficients from Dark Matter Search Experiment with NaF Bolometer
We have performed the underground dark matter search experiment with a sodium fluoride (NaF) bolometer array from 2002 through 2003 at Kamioka Observatory (2700 m.w.e.). The bolometer array consists of eight NaF absorbers with a total mass of 176 g, and sensitive NTD germanium thermistors glued to each of them. This experiment aims for the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particle...
متن کاملFirst results from dark matter search experiment with LiF bolometer at Kamioka Underground Laboratory
The Tokyo group has performed the first underground dark matter search experiment from 2001 through 2002 at Kamioka Observatory(2700m.w.e). The detector is eight LiF bolometers with a total mass of 168g and aims for the direct detection of WIMPs via spin-dependent interaction. With an exposure of 4.1 kg·days, we derived the limits in the ap−an (WIMP-nucleon couplings) plane and excluded a large...
متن کاملSensitive germanium thermistors for cryogenic thermal detector of Tokyo dark matter search programme
Sensitive n-type and p-type germanium thermistors were fabricated by the melt doping technique and by the neutron transmutation doping (NTD) technique, respectively, aiming at a use for the cryogenic thermal detector, or bolometer of Tokyo dark matter search programme. We report on the measurements of the sensitivities of these thermistors. In particular, the ptype thermistors are sensitive eno...
متن کاملLi-containing scintillating bolometers for low background physics
We present the performances of Li-based compounds used as scintillating bolometer for rare decay studies such as double-beta decay and direct dark matter investigations. The compounds are tested in a dilution refrigerator installed in the underground laboratory of Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (Italy). Low temperature scintillating properties are investigated by means of different radioac...
