Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) offers a valuable approach to searching for physics beyond the Standard Model. The Ricochet experiment aims to perform a precision measurement of the CEνNS spectrum at the Institut Laue–Langevin nuclear reactor with cryogenic solid-state detectors. The experiment plans to employ an array of cryogenic thermal detectors, each with a mass of...
The HeRALD experiment is a dark matter direct detection experiment using superfluid He-4 as the target material. The advantages of helium as a dark matter target include its good kinematic matching with sub-GeV light dark matter, as well as the energy gain mechanism through quantum evaporation. Following the first demonstration of this novel dark matter detection technique at the UMass HeRALD...
We developed a new generation of detectors that combine the Electron Recoil (ER) and Nuclear Recoil (NR) discrimination capability of SuperCDMS ionization and phonon (iZIP) detectors with the low-threshold capabilities of High-Voltage (HV) detectors. Both ionization and phonons are measured in a monolithic crystal divided between a large-volume (low-voltage) region and a small-volume...
Only the hypotheses of direct energy depositions by particles as an explanation for seasonal background modulation observed by the DAMA-LIBRA collaboration were experimentally investigated in 20 years of history of this dark matter detection controversy. Alternatively, much lower energy nuclear recoils can trigger releases of energy stored in the material. The demonstration of optical control...
Project 8 aims to determine the neutrino mass by precisely measuring the electron kinetic energy near the tritium beta-decay endpoint.
Electrons are trapped in a magnetic field and emit radiation with a frequency related to their kinetic energy. This technique, pioneered by Project 8, is called Cyclotron Radiation Spectroscopy (CRES). Recently, Phase II was completed, illustrating a...
