Introduction to Research Seminar
in 157 Physics
Speaker: Priscilla Cushman
Subject: Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
This is intended to introduce research projects within the department to new graduate students.
We are looking for WIMPs in the Soudan Underground Lab in Northern Minnesota using ultra-cold solid state detectors. The next step, SuperCDMS, will be installed in a mine in Canada that is even deeper. Data from our last run should be announced in late October. I'll explain our techniques and what it is like to play pingpong half a mile underground.
The weekly calendar is also available via subscription to the physics-announce mailing list.
