SUMMARY:Sinead Griffin (LBL) - Materials considerations for New Dark Matter Detectors
DESCRIPTION:New discoveries in quantum information science and in dark matter detection rely on finding more sensitive detectors than those in state-of-the-art experiments. Traditional detector technologies\, based on nuclear and electron scattering\, have a lower bound on their sensitivity depending on the target’s mass and bandgap. We investigate two classes of new low-threshold detector target materials — Dirac electrons and optical phonons — using first-principles calculations. We discuss how the dark matter/target interaction can be optimized using chemical and physical engineering\, and present the target reach for these new dark matter detection proposals.
