First results with the ORPHEUS dark matter detector
K. Borer, G. Czapek, F. Hasenbalg +8
The ORPHEUS dark matter detector is operating at our underground laboratory in Bern (70 m.w.e.). The detector relies on measuring the magnetic flux variation produced by weakly int…
Detection of nuclear recoils in prototype dark matter detectors, made from Al, Sn and Zn Superheated Superconducting Granules
M. Abplanalp, C. Berger, G. Czapek +12
This work is part of an ongoing project to develop a Superheated Superconducting Granule (SSG) detector for cold dark matter and neutrinos. The response of SSG devices to nuclear r…
Nuclear recoil measurements in Superheated Superconducting Granule detectors
K. Schmiemann
The response of Superheated Superconducting Granule (SSG) devices to nuclear recoils has been explored by irradiating SSG detectors with a 70MeV neutron beam. In the past we ha…
Feasibility study of a Superheated Superconducting Granule detector for cold dark matter search
A. Gabutti
The presented results are part of a feasibility study of a Super- heated Superconducting Granule (SSG) device for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) detection. The sensit…
