  1. 129. Searching for Dark Matter with PICASSO

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    The Project In CAnada Searching for Supersymmetric Objects (PICASSO) at SNOlab searches for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) interactions with 19-F. It is particularly sensitive to spin-dependent particle interactions. It uses a droplet technique, based on the principle of a bubble chamber, in which phase transitions in superheated liquids can be triggered by WIMP induced nuclear...

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    It is well established by now that about 80% of the mass in the Universe exists in a form other than the baryonic matter that makes up all object we know. However, we do not know yet what this "Dark Matter" consists of. The most discussed solution to this problem is a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). SuperCDMS is an upgrade of the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment using...

  3. 76. Data Acquisition for SuperCDMS-SNOLAB
    Mr William Page (University of British Columbia)

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SCDMS) experiment uses solid state germanium and silicon detectors to search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate to explain dark matter. WIMPs are thought to be streaming through the earth, and CDMS seeks to measure the energy deposited by a WIMP-nucleon collision in sensitive calorimeters. Background particles dominate...

  4. 58. State of the Art of Searches for Dark Matter
    Prof. Viktor Zacek (Université de Montréal)

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    Astronomical observations of galaxies, clusters of galaxies and studies of the large scale structure of the Universe show convincing evidence of the existence of dark matter (DM). However our understanding of its nature and its non-gravitational properties is still lacking. We will review the basic properties of dark matter, discuss the strategies employed for its observation and give an...
