  3. Galactic Big Picture WeaklyInteracting Massive Particles nuclear recoil ~ 10’s of keV

  4. Latest Results from WMAP Bennett et al. Wb = 0.044 WM = 0.27 WL= 0.73 Wtotal = 1.02

  5. WIMP Velocity Plot Halo model provides reliable estimate of particle flux a2+r02 r(r) = r0 a2+r2 r0 = 0.3GeV/cm3 a = 6.4kpc v0 = 220 km/sec r0 = 8 kpc Typical collision velocity ~ 320 km/sec 7% annual modulation 1 exp(v2/v02)d3v f(v) d3v = p3/2 v03 particle flux Fx = r0v/mx Erecoil ~ ½ mN v2WIMP ~ 10’s of keV

  6. Interaction Rate mx is unknown …but we can guess lightest superpartner? mx ~100 GeV/c2 particle flux Fx = r0v/mx depends only on the halo model (and on mx) sx is unknown …but we can guess from big-bang: Density Wx ~ 1 / interaction rate Wx ~ .3 => sv ~ 10-26 cm3/s sx ~ sweak Standard assumption: scalar interaction => sNUCLEUS = A2sNUCLEON

  7. …Quantification of Our Ignorance DAMA experiment possible signal unknown mx Current CDMS SUF Limit Projected Soudan Site 1 Month unknown sx Projected CDMS Soudan Limit Your favorite SUSY models

  8. Technical Challenges: Very Small Signals characteristic nuclear recoil energy ~ 10 keV Very Low Count Rates expect << 1 event /kg/day Plenty of Background gamma, beta, neutrons from cosmic rays, contamination, radon…

  9. CDMS Experimental Strategy powerful new solid state detectors Simultaneous Measurement of Erecoil and Qionization Separate Gamma and Beta interactions (most of the background) from true nuclear recoils (neutrons or WIMPs) Optimize our shielding design to minimize neutron backgrounds Underground site Stanford Underground Facility (35’, 17 mwe) Soudan Mine Underground Laboratory (2500’) Other Analysis Handles for neutron rejection: Multiple scattering analysis (WIMPS don’t, neutrons do…) Two target materials Si for neutrons, Ge for WIMPs Independent Monte Carlo Analysis of neutron flux

  10. CDMS Detectors pure Si or pure Ge solid state detectors 1 cm very cold ~ 0.01 oK Direct calorimetric measurement of Erecoil ionization efficiency Q/Erecoil --> provides particle ID electrode segmentation for position sensitivity conventional measurement of ionization Q

  11. Athermal Phonon Detection Scattered particle tungsten sensor prompt phonon detection with segmented electrodes Superconducting Al phonons Ge crystal localize the interaction within the crystal Speed of sound in Si (Ge) = 1 (0.5) cm/ms Transition Edge Sensor Power = V2 / R Electro-Thermal Feedback heat R Quasi-particle excitations (broken cooper pairs) bias here… ~80 mK phonon Quasiparticle Trap Assisted temperature

  18. CDMS I->II Go deep underground Athermal phonon technology Even better rejection of background Increase the mass -> 7kg 7 towers of 6 detectors Approved in January 2000

  19. 2001/2002 Data Set …full tower 4 Ge, 2 Si ZIPs non-neighbor double scatters triple scatters ! 2 Si events increased polyethelene shielding reduced neutron flux by 2.3 28.3 kg-days for WIMPs 20 Ge nuclear-recoil candidates > 5 keV Again consistent with neutrons only

  25. Cryo Plant in Place (CDMS WEBCAM)

  26. Source Calibration (CDMS WEBCAM)

  28. CDMS Status / Summary Two Full Towers of Detectors in Place at Soudan including the one used for data taking at Stanford system has been cold and fully operational. One more cryo bug… Beam Continues to Run Smoothly… Much excitement about repeating this measurement with the exact same apparatus… Expect Data this Summer …only 2465’ further underground
