Description
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.
SuperCDMS SNOLAB is a Generation-2 dark matter experiment under construction at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Canada. The experiment will employ two types of state of the art cryogenic Ge and Si detectors, 24 in total, capable of detecting sub-keV energy depositions from potential dark matter interactions. This talk will discuss the ongoing constructions of SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment as well as future operational plans, with the goal of improving sensitivity to dark matter particles over a broad range of eV to GeV, by orders of magnitude as compared to existing limits.
