Karlsruhe • IAP Paris • IPN Lyon • Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane EURECA + CERN + MPIK (Heidelberg) + ... Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  3. ILIASIntegrated Large Infrastructures for Astroparticle Science • Financed by EU • Infrastructure for astroparticle physics in Europe (not complete, but a good start) • Contains different structures: • Networks (Dark Matter, Double Beta, Underground Science, Gravitational Waves, Theory) • Joint Research Activities (Double Beta, LowBackground, Gravitational Waves) • Transnational Access (Underground laboratories) • 12 Countries, 20 Contractors / ~140 Institutes, > 1000 scientists • Forum for discussion of future plans in Europe Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  4. Overview • EDELWEISS • Technique • Status • Next Future • CRESST • Technique • Status • Next Future • EURECA • Idea • Plans • Status Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  5. W-TES: (Tc = 6-10 mK) W 68 mm² Au heater Al contact Heater for stabilization (DC) and calibration (test pulses) CRESST – Technique • Target: CaWO4 • Cylindrical, /h: 4 cm • Mass: 300 g • Light output: ~ 1 % (g’s) • Light detector • 30  30  0.4 mm Si • Thresholds • Phonons: 2 keV • Light: 20 eV • ~2 keVee • Discrimination: 12 keV Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  6. Light energy Reflector CaWO4 Recoil energy CRESST – Technique Quenching • Nuclear recoil less light than electron recoil! • Different light yield for different nuclei (O, Ca, W)? • Two experiments to measure Quenching (so far room temp.): • Neutron scattering • Ion beam • Both indicate: less light for heavy nuclei Additional support from data -band -band • a-band between g- and n-band • recoiling nuclei from a-decay (O) n-band W-band Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  7. Gran Sasso 3600 m w.e. CRESST – Technique Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  8. Run 28, Daisy Run 28, Julia (bad light resolution) Light yield Light yield Energy in Phonon Channel [keV] Energy in Phonon Channel [keV] CRESST – Status Spring 2004: 2 months run with 2 detectors  sensitivity limited by neutrons  if high QF applies for WIMP recoils: results comparable to EDELWEISS (10-6 pb) Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  9. 66 SQUIDs on He-flange CRESST – Status Shielded cryostat Since April 2004: upgrade • Install neutron moderator (30-50 cm PE, 11 t); µ-veto • Increase number of readout channels (4  66) • Enlarge target mass (600 g  10 kg) PE neutron moderator Plastic scintill. m-veto Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04

  10. CRESST – Next Future • Finish major work by beginning of 2005 • Restart with few detectors • Install new detector holder late spring • Increase target mass to 10 kg within 2005 • Situation in Gran Sasso not clear (major construction work expected – influence on CRESST so far unknown) Wolfgang Rau, TUM Future Direct Detection, Chicago 12/04
