Study and suppression of anomalous fast events in inorganic scintillators for dark matter searches
V. A. Kudryavtsev, N. J. C. Spooner, P. K. Lightfoot +34
The status of dark matter searches with inorganic scintillator detectors at Boulby mine is reviewed and the results of tests with a CsI(Tl) crystal are presented. The objectives of…
Study of the performance of a large scale water-Cherenkov detector (MEMPHYS)
L. Agostino, M. Buizza-Avanzini, M. Dracos +7
MEMPHYS (MEgaton Mass PHYSics) is a proposed large-scale water Cherenkov experiment to be performed deep underground. It is dedicated to nucleon decay searches, neutrinos from supe…
Status of the EDELWEISS Experiment
L. Berge, I. Berkes, B. Chambon +20
The status of the EDELWEISS experiment (underground dark matter search with heat-ionisation bolometers) is reviewed. Auspicious results achieved with a prototype 70 g Ge heat-ionis…
The LAGUNA design study- towards giant liquid based underground detectors for neutrino physics and astrophysics and proton decay searches
LAGUNA Collaboration, D. Angus, A. Ariga +121
The feasibility of a next generation neutrino observatory in Europe is being considered within the LAGUNA design study. To accommodate giant neutrino detectors and shield them from…
Improved Exclusion Limits from the EDELWEISS WIMP Search
A. Benoit, L. Berge, A. Broniatowski +32
The EDELWEISS experiment has improved its sensitivity for the direct search for WIMP dark matter. In the recoil energy range relevant for WIMP masses below 10 TeV/c2, no nuclear re…
Large underground, liquid based detectors for astro-particle physics in Europe: scientific case and prospects
D. Autiero, J. Aysto, A. Badertscher +68
This document reports on a series of experimental and theoretical studies conducted to assess the astro-particle physics potential of three future large-scale particle detectors pr…
