First Results from a Prototype CF3I SIMPLE Dark Matter Search Detector
نویسنده
چکیده
We report a SIMPLE test experiment based on a prototype CF3I superheated droplet detector with a total exposure of 0.024 kgd. The result, despite the low exposure, is seen to provide restrictions on the allowed phase space of both spinindependent and -dependent interactions which can be compared with those from the significantly larger searches in assessing the potential impact of a full-scale experiment.

The Potential Impact of a CF3I-based Superheated Droplet Detector in Searches for WIMP Dark Matter
Limits on weakly interacting massive particle dark matter obtainable from a Superheated Droplet Detector loaded with CF3I as active material are estimated on the basis of the radiopurity levels already achieved by the SIMPLE experiment. With 15 kgd exposure, such an experiment may already probe to 10−6 pb in the spinindependent cross section; for the case of spin-dependent WIMPs, the region of ...
متن کاملMache3 : a New Generation Detector for Non-baryonic Dark Matter Direct Detection
MACHe3 (MAtrix of Cells of superfluid He) is a project of a new detector for direct Dark Matter (DM) search, using superfluid He as a sensitive medium. An experiment on a prototype cell has been performed and the first results reported here are encouraging to develop of a multicell prototype. In order to investigate the discovery potential of MACHe3, and its complementarity with other DM detect...

The Heidelberg Dark Matter Search (HDMS) is an experiment designed for the search for WIMP dark matter. It is using a special configuration of Ge detectors, to efficiently reduce the background in the low-energy region below 100 keV. After one year of running the HDMS detector prototype in the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory, the inner crystal of the detector has been replaced with a HPGe cry...
متن کاملStatus of the HDMS experiment, the GENIUS project and the GENIUS-TF
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 the detector has been replaced with a HPGe crystal of enriched Ge. The results of the operation of the HDMS prototype detector are discussed. In the light of the contradictive results from the CDMS and DAMA experiments...
