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.
