The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search Detectors: Lower Thresholds, New Challenges, and New Physics

Speaker:

Amy Roberts (University of Colorado, Denver)

Location:

Address:

Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics & Astronomy

College Station, Texas 77843

Event Details

The cryogenic semiconductor detectors of the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) are designed to be sensitive to a hypothesized - but not yet observed - dark matter particle, which makes up approximately 80% of all matter according to a wealth of cosmological measurements. This talk will discuss how the SuperCDMS detectors see the world, their physics reach as we press towards lower thresholds, and the challenges we face in the low-energy regime.
