July 2001 Neil Spooner IONISATION DETECTORS Ge (natural / enriched) ionisation detectors used by several collaborations. Detectors of high radiopurity and ultra-low visible energy threshold. Quenching factor ~ 25%. Ge isotopes moderately heavy (A~73) and reasonably sensitive to spin- dependent interactions. However…electron recoil background rejection impossible using this technique alone (although Compton veto possible).

July 2001 Neil Spooner IGEX 3 x 2kg high-purity enriched Ge (86% 76 Ge) detectors mounted in Canfranc tunnel (Spanish Pyrenees). Special attention paid to shielding of external gamma and neutron radiation.

July 2001 Neil Spooner COSME Ge in Canfranc Underground Laboratory No discrimination 72.7 kgxdays IGEX-DM - (PLB 2000) Previous result new result

July 2001 Neil Spooner HDMS Heidelberg Dark Matter Search (HDMS) use different approach. Active Ge shield surrounded by high purity Pb and Cu. Compton background events in inner detector vetoed by outer. Prototype Parameters

July 2001 Neil Spooner HDMS Results Current limits for 9.9 kg  days New set up with Inner detector from enriched 73 Ge, use of ultra high purity copper etc. Experiment was installed at Gran Sasso in August projected sensitivity but no discrimination, no identification of a signal possible. IGEX, COSME…...

July 2001 Neil Spooner SCINTILLATION DETECTORS Established technique. Well-suited to large target masses (search for annual modulation). Detectors of high radiopurity (although not as pure as Ge). Often contain heavy nuclei (I, Xe) and nuclei sensitive to spin-dependent interactions (Na, F). Quenching factor often low (e.g. ~ 9% for I in NaI) and visible energy threshold higher than for bolometers => relatively high recoil energy threshold. BUT…..electron recoil background rejection possible using scintillation Pulse-Shape Discrimination (PSD).

July 2001 Neil Spooner DAMA - NaI Annual Modulation New NaI 3/ kg.days. Total 4 years annual modulation kg.days Annual modulation few% of signal Residuals from 2-6 keV INFN/AE-00/01 No recoil discrimination

July 2001 Neil Spooner NAIAD Preliminary Results ELEGANT CaF 2,ELEGANT V, Canfranc… (annual modulation and inelastic scattering used)

July 2001 Neil Spooner ELEGANT CaF 2 CaF 2 (Eu) target with undoped CaF 2 light-guide. Oto-Cosmo site (1500 mwe) Contains 3.7 kg of 19 F (good for spin- dependent couplings). Integral CsI(Tl) veto shield. Veto events in light-guide with pulse- height ratio in each PMT. Beam tests show 19 F quenching factor increases with decreased energy => improved recoil energy threshold. CaF 2 (Eu) CaF 2

July 2001 Neil Spooner ELEGANT V Large mass (730 kg) NaI(Tl) Plastic scintillator veto. Energy threshold 4-5 keV ee. Background ~ 10 /keV/kg/day at threshold (too high!). Lower threshold system being designed (cooled PMTs / PD readout?). look for gammas emitted by low-level nuclear states excited by WIMP-nucleus inelastic scattering + recoil energy line is close to 210 Pb X-ray so large background subtraction needed (1) annual modulation (2) inelastic scattering

July 2001 Neil Spooner CRYOGENIC BOLOMETERS Detect small temperature rise in solid caused by recoil energy deposit. Have advantage that almost any crystalline material can be used => possible target nuclei with high mass / spin-dependent coupling. Detectors of high radiopurity and ultra-low visible energy threshold. Quenching factor ~ 100% as most energy released as heat. CRESST I, ROSEBUD, ELEGANT LiF, Milan TeO 2 …... No background rejection with this technique alone.

July 2001 Neil Spooner CRESST I Uses W superconducting transition-edge thermometers to measure temperature rise in 4 x 262g Al 2 O 3 crystals (small change in T gives large change in resistivity). Operates at 12 mK. Superb energy resolution, even at low energy ( keV):

July 2001 Neil Spooner ROSEBUD Installed at Canfranc laboratory. 50g Al 2 O 3 and 67g Ge crystals with NTD Ge thermistor temperature sensors. Again, superb energy resolution at low energy typical of cryogenic bolometers:

July 2001 Neil Spooner ELEGANT LiF Uses F nuclei giving optimum sensitivity to spin-dependent interactions. 8 x 21 g LiF crystals with thermistor read-out. Reject microphonic / pick- up noise events using c 2 and peak-height/peak-area cuts: Pick-up Microphonics

July 2001 Neil Spooner Milan TeO 2 Currently 20 x 334g TeO2 crystals (6.7 kg total) read-out by NTD thermistor. Intend to scale-up to > 56 x 750g crystals (CUORICINO). R&D for CUORICINO already indicates best a spectrometer ever produced (4 keV 5.4 MeV):

July 2001 Neil Spooner COMBINED DETECTORS Discrimination between nuclear recoil signal events and electron recoil background possible by measuring relative pulse-heights in several different read-out channels of combined detectors. Retain benefits of individual techniques (low threshold, low background etc.) Very powerful technique used by many new experiments. Possibilities include: –Ionisation / thermal (Ge or Si cryogenic bolometers). –Scintillation / thermal (cryogenic scintillator crystals). –Ionisation / scintillation (double-phase Xe detectors).

July 2001 Neil Spooner CDMS I (Ion/Therm) kg.days Si ZIP (4 recoil events observed) kg.days Ge BLIP (17 nuclear recoil events observed) Present experiment - Ge and Si ionisation + thermal at Stanford Site See a total of 13 recoil candidates events > 10 keV event rate is in region of DAMA signal electrons

July 2001 Neil Spooner CDMS vs. DAMA CDMS - expected spectra for DAMA region DAMA/1-4 (3s) ~2.3 event/kgGe/day Observed CDMS Nuclear Recoils DAMA/1-4 (3  ) Lowest cross-section (40 GeV, cm 2 ) DAMA/1-4 (3  ) Most Likely Fit (52 GeV, cm 2 )

July 2001 Neil Spooner CDMS limit 13 single NRs similar to that expected for DAMA BUT strong evidence that these events are caused by neutrons --> 4 multiple scatter recoils observed in Ge in same data DAMA and CDMS experiments are incompatible at 99.76% CL Although problem with neutrons due to shallow site New analysis, new run at Sanford Move to Soudan CDMS 90% limits on WIMP- nucleon cross-section. CDMS sensitivity because the number of multiple scatters observed is larger than expected, the limit is lower than the median simulated sensitivity Conclusion

July 2001 Neil Spooner EDELWEISS (Ion./Therm) 3 x 320g Ge detectors with NTD thermistor read-out. Observe four distinct populations of events from neutron source calibrations => imperfect charge collection from surface recoils. Similar effects seen by CDMS.
