Description
The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) Collaboration uses cryogenic semiconductor detectors to look for evidence of dark matter interactions with ordinary matter. The current generation of the experiment is under construction at the SNOLAB underground facility in Sudbury, Canada. Two complimentary detector designs, interleaved Z-sensitivity Ionization and Phonon (iZIP) detectors and High Voltage (HV) detectors, made of Germanium or Silicon will be used to probe low mass dark matter parameter space. This talk will provide an overview of the experiment and detector technology and present the expected sensitivity of SuperCDMS SNOLAB to different detection channels.
