利用CCD直接搜索暗物质

Direct Dark Matter Search using CCDs

Juan Estrada

摘要:

目前有大量的证据表明,暗物质(DM)从天文观测。然而,尽管大型实验小组付出了巨大的努力,但在我们的银河系中没有直接探测到暗物质。最近的实验结果和理论发展表明,质量低于10 GeV的DM粒子的可能性,这样的粒子将逃脱大多数的直接搜索,由于通常使用的检测核反冲的大阈值。在这项工作中,我们研究了一种新的暗物质搜索的可能性,前所未有的低阈值的核反冲检测使用高电阻率CCD探测器(HR-CCD)。由于其极低的读出噪声和相对较大的有效质量,这些探测器在这一领域提供了独特的机会。

英文摘要:

There is currently vast evidence for Dark Matter (DM) from astronomical observations. However, in spite of tremendous efforts by large experimental groups, there is no confirmed direct detection of the dark matter in our galaxy. Recent experimental results and theoretical developments suggest the possibility of a DM particle with mass below 10 GeV, such a particle would escape most of the direct searches due to the large thresholds for the detection of nuclear recoils typically used. In this work we study the possibility of a new Dark Matter search with an unprecedented low threshold for the detection of nuclear recoils using high-resistivity CCD detectors (hr-CCD). Due to their extremely low readout noise and the relatively large active mass, these detectors present a unique opportunity in this field.
