First results of the EDELWEISS-II WIMP search using Ge cryogenic detectors with interleaved electrodes
E. Armengaud, C. Augier, A. Benoit +41
The EDELWEISS-II collaboration has performed a direct search for WIMP dark matter with an array of ten 400 g heat-and-ionization cryogenic detectors equipped with interleaved elect…
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…
Monitoring of the thermal neutron flux in the LSM underground laboratory
S. Rozov, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +42
This paper describes precise measurements of the thermal neutron flux in the LSM underground laboratory in proximity of the EDELWEISS-II dark matter search experiment together with…
A new high-background-rejection dark matter Ge cryogenic detector
A. Broniatowski, X. Defay, E. Armengaud +40
A new design of a cryogenic germanium detector for dark matter search is presented, taking advantage of the coplanar grid technique of event localisation for improved background di…
A detection system to measure muon-induced neutrons for direct Dark Matter searches
V. Yu. Kozlov, E. Armengaud, C. Augier +41
Muon-induced neutrons constitute a prominent background component in a number of low count rate experiments, namely direct searches for Dark Matter. In this work we describe a neut…
