锗对sub-keV核反冲反应的多方面实验表征

Germanium response to sub-keV nuclear recoils: a multipronged experimental characterization

J. I. Collar, A. R. L. Kavner, C. M. Lewis

摘要:

锗是许多寻找由暗物质粒子或中微子引起的低能核反冲的稀有事件搜索的首选探测器材料。我们进行了系统的探索,其淬火因子的子千电子伏核反冲,使用多种技术:光中子源,反冲伽马发射热中子捕获后,和一个单色过滤的中子束。我们的研究结果表明,在这个大多未被探索的能量范围内,Lindhard模型的预测有明显的偏差。我们评论我们的数据与低能量过程,如Migdal效应的兼容性,以及我们的测量对即将到来的搜索的影响。

英文摘要:

Germanium is the detector material of choice in many rare-event searches looking for low-energy nuclear recoils induced by dark matter particles or neutrinos. We perform a systematic exploration of its quenching factor for sub-keV nuclear recoils, using multiple techniques: photo-neutron sources, recoils from gamma-emission following thermal neutron capture, and a monochromatic filtered neutron beam. Our results point to a marked deviation from the predictions of the Lindhard model in this mostly unexplored energy range. We comment on the compatibility of our data with low-energy processes such as the Migdal effect, and on the impact of our measurements on upcoming searches.
