Description
The EURECA (European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array) collaboration aims to construct and operate a cryogenic tonne-scale dark matter detector. The chosen technology is low-temperature calorimeters that combine the detection of a heat signal for precise energy measurement with either ionization or scintillation for efficient event type identification. The aim is to probe WIMP-nucleon scalar scattering cross-sections at the 10^-10 pb sensitivity level. The current status of the conceptual design, R&D work and future prospects will be presented.
