Status of the HDMS experiment, the GENIUS project and the GENIUS-TF
H. V. Klapdor-Kleingrothaus, B. Majorovits, L. Baudis +4
The status of dark matter search in Heidelberg is reviewed. After one year of running the HDMS prototype experiment in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory, the inner crystal of t…
Hot and Cold Dark Matter Search with GENIUS
Laura Baudis, Alexander Dietz, Gerd Heusser +3
GENIUS is a proposal for a large volume detector to search for rare events. An array of 40-400 'naked' HPGe detectors will be operated in a tank filled with ultra-pure liquid nitro…
GENIUS: the first real-time detector for solar pp-neutrinos?
Laura Baudis, H. V. Klapdor-Kleingrothaus
The GENIUS project is a proposal for a large supersensitive Germanium detector system for WIMP and double beta decay searches with a much increased sensitivity relative to existing…
Direct Detection of Nonbaryonic Dark Matter
Laura Baudis, H. V. Klapdor-Kleingrothaus
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are leading candidates for the dominant part of the mass density of the Universe. Here we will review direct WIMP detection techniques…
GENIUS - a Supersensitive Germanium Detector System for Rare Events
H. V. Klapdor-Kleingrothaus, L. Baudis, G. Heusser +2
To increase by a major step the present sensitivity for dark matter and double beta decay search, a new project is suggested, which would operate 'naked' GErmanium detectors in liq…
The GENIUS Project - Background and technical studies
L. Baudis, G. Heusser, B. Majorovits +3
The potential of GENIUS as a dark matter detector is discussed. A study was performed to demonstrate the good behaviour of the proposed detector design of naked HPGe-crystals in li…
