Description
The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment aims to search for low-mass dark matter using the new generation high-voltage (HV) detector design with germanium and silicon targets. A subset of these HV detectors (four Ge and two Si) were tested in the Cryogenic Underground TEst (CUTE) facility at SNOLAB, which provided the first opportunity for an extended operation of these detectors and a comprehensive study of their performance in a low background environment similar to SuperCDMS SNOLAB. Here, I will report on analysis methods developed and results for low and high-energy calibration (sub-keV to hundreds of keV range) for the germanium detectors. We also assess the energy resolution and the performance under high voltage bias (up to 90 V).
