    Dark Matter
    Oral

    The CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment, installed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), is suited for direct detection of dark matter particles via elastic scattering off nuclei.
    CRESST uses an array of crystals operated as cryogenic calorimeters, each equipped with a cryogenic light detector.
    An interaction in the crystal...

    Dark Matter
    Oral

    The SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment, which will search for dark matter particles with masses ≤ 10 GeV, is currently under construction 2 km underground in SNOLAB, Canada. The 24 detector payload contains cryogenic germanium and silicon detectors that allow the detection of sub-keV energy depositions from dark matter particle interactions. Two different types of detector designs are employed,...

    Dark Matter
    Oral

    Recently developed science-grade Skipper Charge-Coupled Devices (Skipper-CCDs) have unprecedented sensitivity to low-energy particle interactions in Silicon and are an outstanding technology to search for ultra-light dark-matter candidates. SENSEI (Sub-Electron Noise Skipper Experimental Instrument) is the first experiment to implement Skipper-CCDs for this purpose, achieving world-leading...

  4. 14. Current status and the upgrade of COSINE-100 and DM-Ice experiments
    Dr Govinda Adhikari (Yale University)

    Dark Matter
    Oral

    COSINE-100 is the joint effort between KIMS and DM-Ice. It is a direct-detection dark matter search experiment with the goal of testing DAMA/LIBRA's claim of an annual modulation, using the same NaI(Tl) target. COSINE-100 experiment has been collecting physics data since September 2016 at the Yangyang underground laboratory, South Korea. It consists of ~106 kg of low background NaI(Tl)...

    Dark Matter
    Oral

    Gas Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) with highly segmented readouts based on micropattern gaseous detectors (MPGDs) are capable of measuring the detailed topology and direction of low-energy nuclear recoils and electron recoils, in real time. This unique capability enables new measurements, and is also highly desirable for probing below the neutrino floor by distinguishing between dark matter...
