Bradford Welliver (LBNL) – Results and Current Status of the SuperCDMS Soudan Experiment
March 24, 2017 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The SuperCDMS experiment is a dark matter search that utilizes an array of 15 patterned Ge crystals, called iZIPs with a total mass of 9kg. SuperCDMS has completed operations at the Soudan Underground Laboratory and reported results on low-mass (M 10 GeV/c^2) WIMP search analysis with 1700 kg-days of exposure using 10 of the iZIP detectors is nearing completion. This talk will present an overview of the SuperCDMS detector technology, recap the low-mass search results and discuss the analysis strategy and status of the high mass WIMP search.
INPA guests from campus can now come to the lab early on Fridays. The INPA Common Room (50-5026) is reserved for our guests from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Note that the seminars are now held in 50A-5132 to accommodate a more significant number of attendees.
