First Dark Matter Search Results from a 4-kg CF3I Bubble Chamber Operated in a Deep Underground Site
New data are reported from the operation of a 4.0 kg CF3I bubble chamber in the 6800 foot deep SNOLAB underground laboratory. The effectiveness of ultrasound analysis in discriminating alpha decay background events from single nuclear recoils has been confirmed, with a lower bound of >99.3% rejection of alpha decay events. Twenty single nuclear recoil event candidates and three multiple bubble ...
متن کاملSpin-dependent WIMP limits from a bubble chamber.
Bubble chambers were the dominant technology used for particle detection in accelerator experiments for several decades, eventually falling into disuse with the advent of other techniques. We report here on a new application for these devices. We operated an ultraclean, room-temperature bubble chamber containing 1.5 kilograms of superheated CF3I, a target maximally sensitive to spin-dependent a...
متن کاملDevelopment of bubble chambers with sensitivity to WIMPs
We constructed a small bubble chamber, with special features needed to search for WIMPs: long sensitive time periods, intrinsic insensitivity to minimum ionizing particles and target liquids with high sensitivity to both spin-dependent and -independent couplings. Stereo photography of bubbles allows rejection of events occuring at the chamber walls and discrimination of neutron backgrounds. The...
متن کاملFirst Results from a Prototype CF3I SIMPLE Dark Matter Search Detector
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 ...
متن کاملAcoustic Sensor Design for Dark Matter Bubble Chamber Detectors
Dark matter bubble chamber detectors use piezoelectric sensors in order to detect and discriminate the acoustic signals emitted by the bubbles grown within the superheated fluid from a nuclear recoil produced by a particle interaction. These sensors are attached to the outside walls of the vessel containing the fluid. The acoustic discrimination depends strongly on the properties of the sensor ...
