Discrimination between Nuclear Recoils and Electron Recoils by Simultaneous Detection of Phonons and Scintillation Light
We have developed a detector, consisting of a cryogenic calorimeter with a scintillating crystal as absorber, and a second calorimeter for the detection of the scintillation light, both operated at 12 mK. Using a CaWO4 crystal with a mass of 6 g as scintillating absorber, we have achieved a discrimination of nuclear recoils against electron recoils with a suppression factor of 99.7% at energies...
متن کاملGluedCaWO4 Detectors for the CRESST-II Experiment
The Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers Phase II (CRESST-II) at the L.N.G.S in Italy is searching for Dark Matter using low-temperature calorimeters. These detectors allow to discriminate di erent particles by simultaneous measurement of phonons and scintillation light. The sensors used consist of superconducting tungsten thinlm thermometers, which measure the thermal ...
متن کاملCryogenic scintillators in searches for extremely rare events
Inorganic scintillators are important elements of a new type of cryogenic phonon scintillation detector (CPSD) being developed for single particle detection. These detectors, exhibiting superior energy resolution and the ability to identify the type of interaction in an event, are considered to be the next generation of instrumentation in the search for extremely rare events. This paper present...

We report on the design and performance of the electromagnetic calorimeter timing readout system (EMTiming) for the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The system will be used in searches for rare events with high energy photons to verify that the photon is in time with the event collision, to reject cosmic ray and beam halo backgrounds, and to allow direct searches for new heavy long-lived pa...
متن کاملRefrigeration System for the Atlas Experiment
The proposed ATLAS detector for the 27 km circumference LHC collider is of unprecedented size and complexity. The magnet configuration is based on an inner superconducting solenoid and large superconducting air-core toroids (barrel and two end-caps) each made of eight coils symmetrically arranged outside the calorimetry. The total cold mass approaches 600 tons and the stored energy is 1.7 GJ. T...
