Description
The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) employs cryogenic germanium and silicon detectors to search for dark matter with a focus on low-mass dark matter particles. As SuperCDMS prepares for the next generation facility to come online at SNOLAB, new detectors are tested at the Cryogenic Underground TEst facility (CUTE), which provides a low-background environment and thus presents the opportunity to take advantage of the very low thresholds of these new detectors for potential early searches for low-mass dark matter.
This talk will cover the recently published results from a search for low-mass dark matter signals in electron-recoil data from SuperCDMS Soudan as well as the ongoing detector testing and emerging opportunities for early low-mass dark matter searches at CUTE.
