4 Overview CDMS Technology SuperCDMS at Soudan iZIP Detectors
SuperCDMS at SNOLAB – W. Rau – SNOLAB workshop 2010 Overview CDMS Technology SuperCDMS at Soudan iZIP Detectors SuperCDMS at SNOLAB SuperCDMS Detector Test Facility at SNOLAB

5 Ionization energy [keV eeq]
SuperCDMS at SNOLAB – W. Rau – SNOLAB workshop 2010 CDMS Technology Phonon signal: measures energy deposition Ionization signal: distinguishes between electron (large) and nuclear recoils (small) Surface events have reduced ionization: need additional information to identify Thermal coupling Thermal bath Phonon sensor + - Target e n Ionization energy [keV eeq] Phonon signal Electron recoils from β’s and γ’s Electron recoil Nuclear recoil Charge signal Nuclear recoils from neutrons Phonon energy [keV]

6 SuperCDMS at Soudan Detectors New detectors:
SuperCDMS at SNOLAB – W. Rau – SNOLAB workshop 2010 SuperCDMS at Soudan Detectors New detectors: larger mass (240 g  610 g), larger volume-to-surface ratio (x 2.5) New phonon sensor design: mZIP  improve position reconstruction and pulse shape discrimination for surface events New electrode design: iZIP  discriminate surface events based on charge distribution between electrodes iZIPs have more readout channels per detector (both, phonon and charge sensors on top and bottom) than mZIPs  fewer detectors, but larger fiducial volume/detector iZIP ZIP mZIP

7 SuperCDMS at Soudan Status Status at Soudan:
SuperCDMS at SNOLAB – W. Rau – SNOLAB workshop 2010 SuperCDMS at Soudan Status Status at Soudan: mZIP detectors tested underground (2009), data analyzed, performance satisfactory iZIP detectors: test run underground will start this fall tests so far (above ground) indicate MUCH better discrimination Next Dark Matter Run Probably using both, mZIP and iZIP Start with full pay load in summer 2011 ~20 detectors, kg Ge Expected sensitivity: 5e-45 cm2 (spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section) 15 kg @ Soudan

8 iZIP Technology Basic configuration Phonon sensors on top and bottom

9 SuperCDMS at SNOLAB – W. Rau – SNOLAB workshop 2010
Scientific goal: sensitivity for WIMP-nucleon interaction cross section of  3e-46 cm2 Target mass: ~100 kg of germanium Total exposure: ~100 kg y Detector type: 100 mm diameter iZIPs Number of detectors: Start of construction possible in 2012 (subject to positive funding decision) Start of operation in 2014 Milestone (DOE) FY2010 FY2011 FY2012 FY2013 FY2014 CD-0 mission need 10/1/10 CD-1 prelim. design, cost range 10/1/11 CD-2 baseline design and cost 10/1/12 CD-3 start of construction CD-4 start of operations 10/1/14

11 Cryogenics and Shield Layout
SuperCDMS at SNOLAB – W. Rau – SNOLAB workshop 2010 Cryogenics and Shield Layout Cryogen free dilution refrigerator  save on He cost and operations Pb and inner poly within the OVC  minimize contamination of shield / external gamma background Thick copper cans  provide clean shielding Removable inner can  mount detectors in ultra-clean room: minimize exposure to Rn / dust

13 SuperCDMS Test Facility
SuperCDMS at SNOLAB – W. Rau – SNOLAB workshop 2010 SuperCDMS Test Facility Motivation Need to quantify strongly improved background discrimination iZIPs seem to be good enough, BUT cannot be tested in above ground facility  Need underground facility with very good neutron shielding Larger detectors have longer pulses Interaction rate from environmental gammas increases with mass Leads to pile-up, may not be able to operate detectors above ground at all  Need underground facility with good gamma shielding May be able to use test facility at SNOLAB with variable shielding to study neutron environment (input for SuperCDMS shielding design or background Monte Carlo simulations)
