Dark Matter: Detectors

Scientific paper

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment uses cooled germanium and silicon detectors for a direct search for weakly interacting massive particles in our Galaxy. The novel detectors allow a high degree of background rejection by discriminating between electron and nuclear recoils through the simultaneous measurement of the energy deposited in phonons and ionization. Exposures on the order of one kilogram-day from initial runs of our experiment yield (preliminary) upper limits on the WIMP-nucleon cross section that are comparable to much longer runs of other experiments. Current and future runs promise significant improvement, primarily due to improved detectors and reduced surface-electron backgrounds.
