Description
The Scintillating Bubble Chamber (SBC) collaboration in developing physics-capable noble-liquid bubble chambers with potential physics reach in the search for GeV-scale dark matter, as well as in detecting reactor neutrino CEvNS. A small-scale liquid xenon prototype has demonstrated the potential of this technique to detect sub-keV nuclear recoils while remaining effectively electron-recoil blind. Currently, two devices with 10-kg liquid argon active volumes are under construction: one at Fermilab to be used to calibrate the response to electron recoils and nuclear recoils down to 100-eV, and one to be deployed at SNOLAB for a low-background dark matter search. I will discuss the status and plans for these devices.
