Abstract:

European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array (EURECA) will be an astro-particle physics facility in the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane, aiming to directly detect galactic dark matter. The EURECA collaboration unites CRESST, EDELWEISS and the Spanish-French experiment ROSEBUD, thus concentrating and focussing effort on cryogenic detector research in Europe into a single facility. The aim is to explore WIMP - nucleon scalar cross sections in the 10-9 - 10-10 picobarn region with a target mass of up to one ton. A major advantage of EURECA is the planned use of more than just one target material (multi target experiment for WIMP identification).

Oxide scintillators to search for dark matter and double beta decay

IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record (2008) 3266-3271

Authors:

LL Nagomaya, FA Danevich, AM Dubovik, BV Grinyov, S Henry, V Kapustyanyk, H Kraus, D Poda, VM Mokina, VB Mikhailik, M Panasyuk, OG Polischuk, V Rudyk, V Tsybulskyi, IA Tupitsyna, YY Vostretsov

Abstract:

Results are presented of our latest research, aimed at the development and study of oxide scintillation crystals with high scintillation yield and low intrinsic radioactivity. We report on the improvement of these properties for conventional scintillators, as well as on new promising crystals based on metal tungstates and molybdates. The results are discussed in view of applying these materials in cryogenic experiments searching for dark matter or neutrinoless double beta decay. ©2008 IEEE.

SQUID magnetometry for the cryoEDM experiment - Tests at LSBB

Journal of Instrumentation 3:11 (2008)

Authors:

S Henry, H Kraus, M Malek, VB Mikhailik, G Waysand

Abstract:

High precision magnetometry is an essential requirement of the cryoEDM experiment at the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble. We have developed a SQUID system for this purpose, however tests done in Oxford have been limited by the noisy electromagnetic environment inside our laboratory, therefore we have tested a smaller version of our prototype system in the very low noise environment at LSBB, Rustrel, France. We have studied the crosstalk between an array of parallel pick-up loops - where the field generated by a current in one loop is detected by the others. We monitored the magnetic field in the LSBB for over twelve hours; and after correcting these data for SQUID resets, and crosstalk, we compare it to the published values from nearby geomagnetic observatories. We have also measured the noise spectrum of our system and studied the effect that heating one of the pick-up loops into its conducting state has on the other, parallel loops. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd and SISSA.
