    Title: Searching for Dark Matter with the SuperCDMS SNOLAB Experiment

     

    Abstract

    Cold dark matter is one of the major constituents of the leading cosmological model for our Universe, with many ongoing experimental efforts at directly detecting interactions of the hypothetical particle with terrestrial detectors. The SuperCDMS SNOLAB dark matter experiment, employing state of the art cryogenic detectors capable of detecting sub-keV energy depositions from potential dark matter interactions, has recently completed commissioning and began operations at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada.

     

    This talk will discuss the principle behind the SuperCDMS detector technology, the status of the experiment as well as its ultimate scientific reach in searching for dark matter particles over a broad mass range, spanning from eV to GeV.
