SuperCDMS at SNOLAB: CUTE Results and Science Run Outlook
ORAL
Abstract
The Super-Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment at SNOLAB in Canada, targets to detect dark matter in the 1–10 GeV/c² mass range, using 24 cryogenic silicon and germanium detectors which will be operating 2 km underground. Arranged in four towers, the detector array combines low-threshold High Voltage (HV) phonon detectors and interleaved Z-dependent Ionization and Phonon (iZIP) detectors with superior background rejection —providing leading sensitivity to low-mass dark matter.
In February 2024, SuperCDMS concluded a successful run at the Cryogenic Underground Test Facility (CUTE) at SNOLAB, validating in-situ operation of a full tower consisting of 6 HV detectors. The run demonstrated effective detector calibration, response characterization, and exploration of Neganov-Trofimov-Luke (NTL) phonon amplification.
This talk will summarize key CUTE results and provide an update on the prospects for the first SuperCDMS science run.
