超轻暗物质超导探测器
Superconducting Detectors for Super Light Dark Matter
摘要：
我们提出并研究了一类新的超导探测器，它对来自暗物质-电子散射的O（meV）电子反冲敏感。这样的设备可以探测到像暖暗物质极限（mX > keV）那样轻的暗物质。我们计算了（超导）金属中自由电子的暗物质散射率，包括相关的泡利阻塞因子。我们证明，与地球和宇宙学/天体物理学约束一致的各类暗物质可以通过中等尺寸曝光的此类探测器进行探测。
英文摘要：
We propose and study a new class of superconducting detectors which are sensitive to O(meV) electron recoils from dark matter-electron scattering. Such devices could detect dark matter as light as the warm dark matter limit, mX > keV. We compute the rate of dark matter scattering off of free electrons in a (superconducting) metal, including the relevant Pauli blocking factors. We demonstrate that classes of dark matter consistent with terrestrial and cosmological/astrophysical constraints could be detected by such detectors with a moderate size exposure.
