Scientific paper

Bolometers are being developed at the University of Tokyo aiming at a search for galactic dark matter. We have succeeded in constructing a small-sized bolometer with 2.8 gram of lithium fluoride crystal with an rms energy resolution of 3.8 ke V for 60-ke V γ rays. Both lithium and fluorine are expected to be suitable for the detection of possible particle dark matter with a spin-dependent interaction like supersymmetric neutralinos. Fabrication of Neutron Transmutation Doped (NTD) germanium is also in progress to make a number of thermistors with uniform sensitivities to be used for multi-module bolometers. When the development of a full-sized detector with a total mass of order one kilogram is completed, we plan to install it in the Kamioka underground laboratory.
