This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last few years astrophysicists and elementary particle physicists have been working jointly on the following fascinating phenomena: 1. The solar neutrino puzzle and the question: What happens to the neutrinos on their way from the sun to the earth? 2. The growing evidence that our universe is filled with about 10 times more matter than is visible and the question: What is dark matter made of? 3. The supernovae explosions and the question: What do neutrinos tell us about such explosions and vice versa? The experimental investigation of these phenomena is difficult and involves unconventional techniques. These are presently under development, and bring together such seemingly disparate disciplines as astrophysics and elementary particle physics on the one hand and superconductivity and solid-state physics on the other. This book contains the proceedings of a workshop held in March 1987 at which the above subjects and their experimental investigation were discussed. The proposed experimental methods are very new. They involve frontier developments in low temperature and solid-state physics. The book should be useful to researchers and students who actively work on these subjects or plan to enter the field. It also offers the non-expert reader with some physics background a good survey of the activities in this field.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CENNS) is a process predicted nearly 40 years ago. In August 2017, the COHERENT experiment reported the first keV-scale detection at the 6.7 sigma level of this process, which is a probe for the new low energy physics, opening a window on a myriad of new physics opportunities. The RICOCHET experiment aims at measuring with high accuracy the CENNS process in order to probe various exotic physics scenarios in the electroweak sector. Using cryogenic bolometers operated in a cryostat 8 meters away from the core of the ILL research nuclear reactor, the experiment will benefit from an intense neutrino flux, allowing the results of COHERENT to be reproduced in a single week. The objective of an accurate measurement will be achieved after one year of data collection, by 2024. The CRYOCUBE is a compact cubic array of cryogenic detectors with the following specifications: a very low energy threshold of O(10) eV on the thermal signal, an electromagnetic background rejection of at least 10^3 and a total target mass of 1 kg distributed among 27 germanium crystals of about 30 g each. The objective of this thesis is to propose an optimized detector design for the CRYOCUBE, inspired by the cryogenic germanium detectors equipped with charge and temperature readings of the direct dark matter search experiment EDELWEISS. This joint R&D program is based on event discrimination realized in germanium semiconductor crystals. The recoil energy of an incident particle is derived either from the increase of the crystal temperature measured by a GeNTD thermistor (heat channel) or from the excited electric charges collected by electrodes on its surface (ionization channel). This double energy measurement makes it possible to distinguish the nuclear recoils produced by the CENNS or the dark matter from the electronic radioactive background. As these recoils are of the order of O(100) eV, this thesis work is focused on the development of a new generation of cryogenic low threshold germanium detectors with particle identification. It explores how to improve the resolution in heat and ionization energy up to O(10) eV while maintaining a good rejection of background events. This study is based on the testing of prototype detectors in the IP2I cryostat, which are compared to theoretical predictions from electro-thermal and electrostatic modeling of the detectors. This manuscript begins with the definition of the CENNS process, its scientific importance and the objectives of the RICOCHET experiment. It then presents the cryogenic installation allowing the surface operation of the detectors at 20 mK in optimal conditions. An electro-thermal model of the bolometers, compared with experimental data, is developed and applied to the simulation of the noise associated with the electronics of the heat signal. The thesis then formalizes the generation of the ionization signals arising from excited charge carriers drifting in the germanium crystal under the influence of the applied electric field. The expected resolution from a future low-noise electronics is modeled based on two detector designs. They are optimized by their electrostatic simulation in a finite element calculation software. A comparison of the theoretical and experimental performance of ionization is performed on the basis of the RED80 and REDN1 prototype detectors. This work ends with the characterization of the radioactive background in the cryogenic laboratory with the analysis of the data from RED80, and in particular its neutron component, used to estimate the expected background at the ILL site for RICOCHET.

Book Synopsis Optimizing the Design and Analysis of Cryogenic Semiconductor Dark Matter Detectors for Maximum Sensitivity by : Matt Christopher Pyle

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 15 years, the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search or CDMS has searched for Weekly Interacting Massive Particle dark matter (WIMPs) using Ge and Si semiconductor crystals instrumented with both ionization and athermal phonon sensors so that the much more common electron recoil leakage caused by photons and [beta]s from naturally present radioactive elements can be easily distinguished from elastic WIMP nucleon interactions by looking at the fraction of total recoil energy which ends up as potential energy of e/h pairs. Due to electronic carrier trapping at the surface of our semiconductor crystals, electron recoils which occur near the surface have suppressed ionization measurements and can not be distinguished from WIMP induced nuclear recoils and thus sensitivity to the WIMP nucleon interaction cross section was driven in CDMS II by our ability to define a full 3D fiducial volume in which all events had full collection. To remain background free and maximally sensitive to the WIMPnucleus interaction cross section, we must improve our 3D fiducial volume definition at the same rate as we scale the mass of the detector, and thus proposed next generation experiments with an order of magnitude increase in active mass were unfortunately not possible with our previous CDMS II detector design, and a new design with significantly improved fiducialization performance is required. In this thesis, we illustrate how the complex E-field geometry produced by interdigitated electrodes at alternating voltage biases naturally encodes 3D fiducial volume information into the charge and phonon signals and thus is a natural geometry for our next generation dark matter detectors. Secondly, we will study in depth the physics of import to our devices including transition edge sensor dynamics, quasi- particle dynamics in our Al collection fins, and phonon physics in the crystal itself so that we can both understand the performance of our previous CDMS II device as well as optimize the design of our future devices. Of interest to the broader physics community is the derivation of the ideal athermal phonon detector resolution and it's cubic temperature scaling behavior which suggests that the athermal phonon detector technology developed by CDMS could also be used to discover coherent neutrino scattering and search for non-standard neutrino interaction and sterile neutrinos. These proposed resolution optimized devices can also be used in searches for exotic MeV-GeV dark matter as well as novel background free searches for 8GeV light WIMPs. Initial performance studies of our first two next generation iZIP detectors at the University of California Berkeley CDMS test facility indicate that electron recoil surface event misidentification is 2x10-5 ±2.5x10-5 (90%CL) for a recoil energy range of 8keVr-60keVr strongly indicating that z fiducial volume performance will not limit our WIMP sensitivity in next generation experiments. Furthermore, phonon only fiducial volume selections were created for nuclear recoil energies 2keVr suggesting that phonon only background free or background subtracting light WIMP mass experiments are potentially viable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) relies on collection of phonons and charge carriers in semiconductors held at tens of milliKelvin as handles for detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). This thesis begins with a brief overview of the direct dark matter search (Chapter 1) and SuperCDMS detectors (Chapter 2). In Chapter 3, a 3He evaporative refrigerator facility is described. Results from experiments performed in-house at Stanford to measure carrier transport in high-purity germanium (HPGe) crystals operated at sub-Kelvin temperatures are presented in Chapter 4. Finally, in Chapter 5 a new numerical model and a time-domain optimal filtering technique are presented, both developed for use with superconducting Transition Edge Sensors (TESs), that provide excellent event reconstruction for single particle interactions in detectors read out with superconducting W-TESs coupled to energy-collecting films of Al. This thesis is not intended to be read straight through. For those new to CDMS or dark matter searches, the first two chapters are meant to be a gentle introduction for experimentalists. They are by no means exhaustive. The remaining chapters each stand alone, with different audiences.
