State of the Art in Direct Dark Matter Detectors: Technologies, Performance, and Future Directions
Muad Ghaith, Khaled Obaideen
Identifying the particle nature of dark matter remains one of the most significant challenges in modern physics. Direct detection experiments aim to observe rare scattering events…
Low-Energy Calibration of SuperCDMS HVeV Cryogenic Silicon Calorimeters Using Compton Steps
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +148
Cryogenic calorimeters for low-mass dark matter searches have achieved sub-eV energy resolutions, driving advances in both low-energy calibration techniques and our understanding o…
CUTE: A Cryogenic Underground TEst Facility at SNOLAB
Philippe Camus, Jonathan Corbett, Sean Crawford +14
Low-temperature cryogenics open the door for a range of interesting technologies based on features like superconductivity and superfluidity, low-temperature phase transitions or th…
First measurement of the nuclear-recoil ionization yield in silicon at 100 eV
M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib, D. Alonso +137
We measured the nuclear--recoil ionization yield in silicon with a cryogenic phonon-sensitive gram-scale detector. Neutrons from a mono-energetic beam scatter off of the silicon nu…
A Strategy for Low-Mass Dark Matter Searches with Cryogenic Detectors in the SuperCDMS SNOLAB Facility
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +125
The SuperCDMS Collaboration is currently building SuperCDMS SNOLAB, a dark matter search focused on nucleon-coupled dark matter in the 1-5 GeV/c mass range. Looking to the futu…
Ionization yield measurement in a germanium CDMSlite detector using photo-neutron sources
SuperCDMS Collaboration, M. F. Albakry, I. Alkhatib +126
Two photo-neutron sources, YBe and SbBe, have been used to investigate the ionization yield of nuclear recoils in the CDMSlite germanium detectors by the…
Production Rate Measurement of Tritium and Other Cosmogenic Isotopes in Germanium with CDMSlite
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, T. Aralis +95
Future direct searches for low-mass dark matter particles with germanium detectors, such as SuperCDMS SNOLAB, are expected to be limited by backgrounds from radioactive isotopes ac…
Energy Loss Due to Defect Formation from Pb Recoils in SuperCDMS Germanium Detectors
Robert Agnese, Taylor Aralis, Tsuguo Aramaki +94
The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystal…
Nuclear-recoil energy scale in CDMS II silicon dark-matter detectors
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +106
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS II) experiment aims to detect dark matter particles that elastically scatter from nuclei in semiconductor detectors. The resulting nuclear-re…
Projected Sensitivity of the SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment
R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson, T. Aramaki +93
SuperCDMS SNOLAB will be a next-generation experiment aimed at directly detecting low-mass (< 10 GeV/c) particles that may constitute dark matter by using cryogenic detectors o…
