30 Sep 2015 | Abstract: | The DAMIC experiment uses fully depleted, high resistivity CCDs to search for
dark matter particles. With an energy threshold $sim$50 eV$_{ee}$, and
excellent energy and spatial resolutions, the DAMIC CCDs are well-suited to
identify and suppress radioactive backgrounds, having an unrivaled sensitivity
to WIMPs with masses $<$6 GeV/$c^2$. Early results motivated the construction
of a 100 g detector, DAMIC100, currently being installed at SNOLAB. This
contribution discusses the installation progress, new calibration efforts near
the threshold, a preliminary result with 2014 data, and the prospects for
physics results after one year of data taking. | Source: | arXiv, 1510.0044 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
