  1. 38. CDMSlite: A Search for Light WIMPs
    Ritoban Basu Thakur (Fermilab/ UIUC)
    11/13/13, 2:20 PM
    Dark Matter
    oral
    The CDMS-low-ionization-threshold-experiment was designed to measure low-energy recoils from Weakly Interacting Massive Particles of mass < 10 GeV. This experiment uses voltage-assisted Luke-Neganov amplification of the ionization-energy deposited by particle interactions, which allows us to probe for light WIMP scatters. In this talk I will describe the physics behind CDMSlite and present...

  2. 59. Ultra light dark matter search using the spherical gaseous detector
    Ioannis Giomataris (CEA-Saclay)

    Dark Matter
    oral
    The new detector based on a spherical geometry will be presented. The detector consists of a large spherical gas volume with a central electrode forming a radial electric field. A small spherical sensor located at the center is acting as a proportional amplification structure. Sub-keV energy threshold with good energy resolution is achieved and calibration source developed. The very low...

  3. 43. PICO: dark matter direct detection with bubble chambers.
    Dr Russell Neilson (University of Chicago)

    Dark Matter
    oral
    Bubble chambers offer a number of compelling properties relevant for the direct detection of WIMP dark matter. Of particular note, it is possible, by the appropriate selection of operating conditions, to make a bubble chamber sensitive to the nuclear recoils produced by dark matter interactions, but insensitive to the typically-dominant background of electron recoils. I will discuss a suite of...
