  1. 2178. Astroparticle physics with neutrinos at the South Pole (I)

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located deep underground at the geographic South Pole, is the largest neutrino detector in the world. The experiment uses over 5,000 photo-sensors to monitor a volume of one cubic kilometer of pristine ice, recording the Cherenkov light emitted by neutrino interaction products. By studying these signals, IceCube has demonstrated the existence of astrophysical...

    The PICO collaboration aims at direct detection of dark matter using superheated liquid detectors, or bubble chambers. Several generations of PICO detector have operated at SNOLAB, setting world-leading limits on the WIMP-proton spin-dependent coupling. PICO-40L is the next iteration of the PICO detector, and has been substantially redesigned since its predecessor, PICO-60. The main...

  3. 2080. Photo-neutron Calibrations of SuperCDMS Dark Matter Detectors

    The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment has used data taken at the Soudan Underground Mine between 2011-2015 to search for nuclear recoils near 1 keV. Nuclear recoils at this energy constrain the possibility of low-mass Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). The Soudan SuperCDMS detectors produced a world-leading limit on the cross section of spin-independent...

  4. 2124. Understanding eV-threshold calorimeters for SuperCDMS and other dark matter searches
    Alan Robinson (Fermilab)

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    A wide variety of experiments to directly search for dark matter/atom scattering are being pursued. To search for low-mass dark matter, detectors are exploiting recent advances in calorimeter technology and are pushing the physical limits of ionization calorimetry with single photon or electron detection. SuperCDMS SNOLAB and other upcoming experiments will be using these technologies to...

    With a 6 km water equivalent overburden in the Canadian Shield, SNO+
    plans to make a competitive measurement of neutrinoless double beta
    decay in Tellurium doped liquid organic scintillator. Additionally,
    the detector has the capacity to make measurements of reactor,
    supernova, solar and geoneutrinos. Since December 2016, the detector
    is taking data as a water Cherenkov detector to set limits...
