  1. 87. Low Mass Wimp Search with a Liquid Argon TPC
    Dr Shawn Westerdale (Cagliari)
    28/03/2020, 08:00
    Non-directional direct dark matter detection
    Talk

    The DarkSide collaboration demonstrated the ability of a dual-phase LAr-TPC to
    search for low-mass dark matter candidates, including light WIMPs with masses
    below 10- GeV and sub-GeV particles that interact with couplings smaller than
    the weak scale, by exploiting the high electron extraction efficiency and the
    inherent gain of the ionization signal of the DarkSide-50 detector. A...

  2. 68. EDELWEISS : direct searches for sub-GeV dark matter with cryogenic Ge detectors
    Dr Quentin ARNAUD (IP2I)

    Non-directional direct dark matter detection
    Talk

    The EDELWEISS direct detection experiment uses cryogenic Ge semiconductor detectors equipped with NTD thermal sensors to search for sub-GeV dark matter particles. In this presentation, I give an overview of our most recent results from searches for SIMPs and electron-scattering dark matter, using massive ~30 g Ge detectors operated both at the surface and at the LSM underground laboratory,...

  3. 62. Low-mass Dark Matter Search with the CRESST-III Experiment
    Dr Lucia Canonica (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik)
    28/03/2020, 08:30
    Non-directional direct dark matter detection
    Talk

    CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) is a direct dark matter search experiment located at the Gran Sasso underground Laboratory (LNGS, Italy). Scintillating CaWO4 crystals, operated as cryogenic calorimeters at millikelvin temperature, are used as target material for elastic DM-nucleus scattering. The experiment, optimized for low-energy nuclear recoil...

  4. 27. The SENSEI Experiment: Status and Plans
    Sho Uemura (Tel Aviv University)
    28/03/2020, 08:45
    Non-directional direct dark matter detection
    Talk

    I will present results from ongoing characterization of the skipper CCD technology, and progress towards deployment of the 100-gram experiment using a new generation of skipper CCDs at the SNOLAB deep underground facility.

  5. 28. Low Mass Dark Matter Searches with SuperCDMS and CUTE
    Ryan Underwood (Queens University)

    Non-directional direct dark matter detection
    Talk

    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...

  6. 34. The search for light dark matter with NEWS-G
    Guillaume Giroux (Queen's University)

    Non-directional direct dark matter detection
    Talk

    The NEWS-G (New Experiments With Spheres – Gas) collaboration searches for light dark matter using spherical proportional counters (SPCs) located in deep underground laboratories. A choice of light gas targets (Ne, He, H) in conjunction with sub-KeV nuclear recoil thresholds allow for sensitivity to low-mass WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) down to 0.1 GeV/c^2. The recent results...
