Search for Supersymmetric Dark Matter with Superfluid He3 (MACHe3)

Abstract

MACHe3 (MAtrix of Cells of superfluid He3) is a project of a new detector for direct Dark Matter search, using superfluid He3 as a sensitive medium. This paper presents a phenomenological study done with the DarkSUSY code, in order to investigate the discovery potential of this project of detector, as well as its complementarity with existing and planned devices.
