  17. Detection Mechanisms Thermal Channel is dumping ground ultimately for all energy

  18. 104 – 105 increase over present limits 102 – 103 increase over expts under construction CryoArray: A 3rd Generation Experiment • Based on extrapolation of CDMS technology/strategy • Basic parameters/goals • 1000kg x 2 (live) years • >100 WIMPs at 10-46cm2 • <100 background events (prior to subtraction, eg, multiple scattering) • Reduce backgrounds • Internal (, ) and external (n) • Increase mass and manufacturability of detectors/cryo package • Maintain Performance • Possible sites • Soudan (CDMS II) among shallower site • National Underground Facility • Depth • Shared resources (vetos, assembly, materials screening, fabrication???)

  19. “CryoArray”: One Tonne Dark Matter Detector • New philosophy in deployment of cryogenic detectors • Use athermal phonon technology + ionisation to allow significant simplification of detector production and assembly • 100-1000 kg in 0.1-1 kg units • Challenge: Mass production/deployment • Detectors produced commercially by Si chip fab facility • Simple bilayer metal circuits (superconductors W & Al) • Appropriate volumes of SQUID electronics now available • Warm - Fermilab surface mount format • Cold - SQUID arrays available in quantity/consistency • Challenge: Modest improvements in existing performance…. • Event by event discrimination: Noise (<1 keV) well matched to WIMP recoil • CDMS I dets. showed 96 live days ‘free’ of systematics -> target 1 year free • Background reduction benefits from virtual elimination of passive material in detector space (self veto)

  20. CDMS I • Design Considerationsfor operation with (BLIP) thermal detectors • Low Thermal Load • Low Microphonics • (High impedance circuits) • Low IR leakage into 10 mK space (detector can’t take heat load)

  21. CryoArray • Design Considerations for (ZIP) non-thermal detectors • Non-thermal phonons • Most mounting hardware eliminated - low impedance so microphonics is not an issue • FET -> 4K (GaAs) or SQUID Q amp • Spatial Ch Multiplexing reduces electronics channels

  22. Nuclear recoils arise from WIMPs Neutrons Electron Recoils arise from photons electrons alphas (Typical Background) Ionization yield ionization/recoil energy strongly dependent on type of recoil Recoil energy Phonons give full recoil energy Nuclear Recoil Discrimination - Event by Event NOT A SIMULATION! 1334 gamma events, 616 neutron events Gammas (external source) Neutrons (external source) Phonon Trigger Threshold

  23. CryoArray (Sensitivity <1 per 100 kg-yr, s~10-46 cm-2) • Scale up to 1 tonne detector with target (90%CL) <1 evt per 100 kg-yr • Reduce g/b backgrounds by factor 20 vs CDMSII • g 0.25 -> 0.015 cts/keVee-1kg-1day-1 • (This compares to 0.050 keVee-1kg-1day-1 @15 keV for HMDS) • b 0.02 -> 0.001 cts/keVee-1kg-1day-1 • (Challenge to survey surfaces to this sensitivity) • Improve g/b rejection by factor 1-few! • g 99.5% -> 99.95% (1 in 2000) • CDMS I 1999 in-situ calibrations already showed 99.96% (17k event calibs) • b 95% -> 99.5% (1 in 200) • Ge BLIP with aSi contact, (E>25 keVr ) >95% (E>40 keVr) >99.5%, • Si ZIP using phonon rise times (E=10-20 keVr ) >98%, (E>20 keVr) >99.5% • Without Discrimination: • needs ~104 reduction in background from present (HM) levels 010708.2.rjg Revise rej

  26. x20-1 Background Projections - CryoArray (1 tonne) dru = 1 event keV-1 kg -1 day -1 Energy Range 10-40 keV

  27. Soudan Neutron Background in CryoArray • Expect dominant component from muon interactions in rock • Veto in cavity difficult – neutrons from 2 – 3 meters in • Polyethylene shield transparent above 50 MeV • Need factor x20 improvement vs CDMS II • Increase depth to => 4000 mwe • Instrument the rock with 2.5 m streamer tubes. • Preliminary simulations indicate >75% of emergent HE neutrons from hadron cascades are >50-cm transverse size. • Augment with ‘umbrella’ veto • Increase shield density inside veto

  28. Problem: Performance -> Production Mass • Recent challenge has been to demonstrate novel techniques • Low backgrounds &/or Discrimination • Now it is time to solve some of problems of scale up … • Detector production issues (+larger sizes of collaboration) • … and background reduction • What screening techniques are required? (Low energies / Monte Carlo??)Eliminating gamma/beta contamination in energy range 5-100 keVee is new field. • Discrimination: Improvements can be shared between improved backgrounds and improved rejection performance • Good experience of running technology underground • True comparison of technologies can only come once data from extended operation underground is available - highlights systematics

  29. x2 x2 x1 x1 2nd Kind of Limit on Threshold of Discrimination Background (e.g. Gamma or Surface Betas) Lateral spread of lines simulates noise For 1st case - (see CDMS talks on surface electron confusion with nuclear recoils) 1st Kind 2nd Kind In 2nd case - will single event in x1 only be background free? Signal (Nuclear Recoil) Effective threshold raised due to event-by-event discrimination confused by noise In this region x2 channel for signal events are buried in noise: Example where 2nd limit on discrimination may be relevant:CRESST x1(phonon) x2(photon) CaWO4 Gamma: x1=50 keVee x2~350 eVdet [based on current #’s - see CRESST II talk] Neutron: x1=50 keVee&r x2~50 eVdet (close to noise threshold) Assumes 0.7% energy of electron recoil signal detected in photons for gamma eventand QF (established for O nuclei recoils relative to gammas) is 14%

  31. Collaboration & Funding Issues • Strong interest among CDMS Collaborators • Factor of 2 – 3 expansion in scale • Not costed or scheduled in any detail (requires technology/production studies) • Likely to require international collaboration • Include cryo detector groups in Europe • Funding – CDMS model • NSF • DoE Labs (LBNL, FNAL) • DoE University Programs • ++ International Component • Timescale • CDMS II detector production and test facilities begin to ramp down end of 2004. • Reasonable to ramp up development and use these facilities + new facilities while taking data with CDMS II Experiment up and running. Therefore would seek detector development funding ~2002-4, project funding ~2005. • Other factors include CDMS II technical and scientific developments, as well as results from the rest of the community.

  35. One Tonne: Conclusion • Discriminating Detectors • Allows sharing of improvement budget (target 104 over current sensitivity) • Good discrimination uses Ge/Si (expensive) target very efficiently • Will allow us to study WIMP physics (~100 events) at s~10-46 cm2, with background ~100 events characterised 5s (Even better for higher cross-sections) • CryoArray (based on CDMS technology) see Gaitskell/astro-ph 0106200 • Discrimination: g good enough, b within factor few • Based on extensive underground running of Ge/Si detectors (1996->) so stats reflect real world scenario • Backgrounds: x20 reductions vs CDMS II, x3 vs best current Heidelberg-Moscow • Modest b/g reduction should be possible through materials selection/simplification of structures (little mounting material) • Scaling up to 1000’s detectors • CDMSII 42 dets (250 g Ge) / CUORE -> 1000 dets • Fabrication of dets in commercial environment is the challenge • 10 year development : means opportunity to capitalise on technology
