DESCRIPTION:Searching for Dark Matter with the SuperCDMS Experiment at SNOLAB\n\nTyler Reynolds - University of Toronto April 21 QNC 1201 @ 2:00 pm\n\nThe Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) direct detection experiment is searching for low-mass (< 10 GeV/c2) dark matter particles. Located 2 km underground at SNOLAB\, Canada\, it features a payload of 24 cryogenic germanium and silicon detectors instrumented to detect the heat deposited from particle interactions. Twelve of these detectors are operated with a 100 V bias voltage to benefit from the signal amplification provided by the Neganov-Trofimov-Luke effect and achieve a lower threshold. The other twelve are instrumented to detect both heat and ionization\, allowing them to discriminate against backgrounds. The experiment is currently undergoing commissioning\, with science data-taking expected to start later this year. This talk will provide an overview of the experiment\, describe its current status\, and highlight the R&D efforts aimed at improving the detector technology for the next generation of dark matter searches.
