Hunting for the WIMP: Current and Future Prospects

November 10, 2009

1:00 pm  Presenter:  Dr. Rupak Mahapatra (Texas A&M University)
 Series:  Nuclear, Particle, Astroparticle and Cosmology (NUPAC) Seminars
 Abstract:  Direct detection experiments search for the rare signature of a WIMP recoil with ordinary nucleus.
A large number of experiments with different techniques will be vying for the prized catch and will
be complimentary to the LHC SUSY search. This talk will be a review of current status and future
prospects of the leading experiment in the field, named Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS),
and the prospects of other competing technologies.
 Host:  Dinesh Loomba
 Location:  Room 190, Physics & Astronomy
