用CRESST寻找暗物质

Search for Dark Matter with CRESST

Rafael F. Lang, Wolfgang Seidel

摘要:

寻找暗物质粒子的直接相互作用仍然是当代实验物理学最紧迫的挑战之一。需要各种不同的方法来探测可用的参数空间,并满足技术挑战。在这里,我们审查的直接暗物质相互作用的检测在低温下使用结晶的实验努力。我们概述了这些探测器背后的想法,并描述了它们的工作原理。最近的发展进行了总结,并提出了各种结果,从搜索罕见的过程。在寻找直接的暗物质相互作用方面,CRESST-II实验提供了竞争性的极限,在相干WIMP-核子截面上的灵敏度低于5 × 10 ^(-7)pb。

英文摘要:

The search for direct interactions of dark matter particles remains one of the most pressing challenges of contemporary experimental physics. A variety of different approaches is required to probe the available parameter space and to meet the technological challenges. Here, we review the experimental efforts towards the detection of direct dark matter interactions using scintillating crystals at cryogenic temperatures. We outline the ideas behind these detectors and describe the principles of their operation. Recent developments are summarized and various results from the search for rare processes are presented. In the search for direct dark matter interactions, the CRESST-II experiment delivers competitive limits, with a sensitivity below 5x10^(-7) pb on the coherent WIMP-nucleon cross section.
