Hunting for WIMPs with the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) is an experiment whose goal is to detect WIMPs via elastic-scattering interactions in detectors capable of nuclear-recoil discrimination. Recent advances in eliminating a low-energy-electron background are discussed. Data from the current run yield 1 nuclear-recoil candidate above 25 keV recoil energy in 1.7 kg-days of exposure.
متن کاملExperimental and Monte Carlo studies on the response of CR-39 detectors to Am-Be neutron spectrum
Background: The Poly-Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (PADC) detector is of particular interest for development of a fast neutron dosimeter. Fast neutrons interact with the constituents of the CR-39 detector and produce H, C and O recoils, as well as (n, α) reaction. These neutron- induced charged particles contribute towards the response of CR-39 detectors. Material and Methods: Electrochemical...
متن کاملLimits on WIMP Dark Matter
The current state searches for dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using both direct and indirect techniques is reviewed. Advances in recent years by various direct search experiments, utilising technology able to record the nuclear recoil events expected from elastic scattering by WIMPs, have allowed progress towards lower limits to be made. In particular, t...
متن کاملDAMA / NaI and CDMS experiments for mirror matter - type dark matter
We re-analyse the implications of the DAMA/NaI experiment for mirror matter-type dark matter, taking into account information from the energy dependence of the DAMA annual modulation signal. This is combined with the null results from the CDMS experiment, leading to fairly well defined allowed regions of parameter space. The allowed regions of parameter space will be probed in the near future b...
