Detection of Light Dark Matter With Optical Phonons in Polar Materials
Simon Knapen, Tongyan Lin, Matt Pyle +1
We show that polar materials are excellent targets for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter due to the presence of gapped optical phonons as well as acoustic phonons with high s…
Thermal detection of single e-h pairs in a biased silicon crystal detector
R. K. Romani, P. L. Brink, B. Cabrera +11
We demonstrate that individual electron-hole pairs are resolved in a 1 cm by 4 mm thick silicon crystal (0.93 g) operated at 35 mK. One side of the detector is patterned…
Results from the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment at Soudan
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, T. Aramaki +101
We report the result of a blinded search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) using the majority of the SuperCDMS Soudan dataset. With an exposure of 1690 kg days, a si…
US Cosmic Visions: New Ideas in Dark Matter 2017: Community Report
Marco Battaglieri, Alberto Belloni, Aaron Chou +248
This white paper summarizes the workshop "U.S. Cosmic Visions: New Ideas in Dark Matter" held at University of Maryland on March 23-25, 2017.
Low-Mass Dark Matter Search with CDMSlite
SuperCDMS Collaboration, R. Agnese, A. J. Anderson +105
The SuperCDMS experiment is designed to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) that may constitute the dark matter in our Galaxy. During its operation at the…
