A CF3I-based SDD Prototype for Spin-independent Dark Matter Searches

T. Morlata, M. Felizardo, F. Giuliani +8

The application of Superheated Droplet Detectors (SDDs) to dark matter searches has so far been confined to the light nuclei refrigerants C2ClF5 and C4F10 (SIMPLE and PICASSO, resp…

Recent Results from the SIMPLE Dark Matter Search

TA Girard, F. Giuliani, J. I. Collar

SIMPLE is an experimental search for evidence of spin-dependent dark matter, based on superheated droplet detectors using CClF. We report preliminary results of a 0.6 k…

Preliminary Study of the Feasibility of a Non Crystalline Positron Emission Tomography Using a Suspension of Superheated Superconducting Grains (SSG) in High Density Dielectric Matrix (HDDM) as Detector

Roger Bruhre-Dawson, Jacques Maillard, Girard Maurel +2

Suspensions of superheated superconducting grains are a detecting composite material. Each grain in the supension is a microcalorimeter with an energy threshold defined by its equa…
