The EURECA Dark Matter Search
EURECA (European Rare Event Calorimeter Array) is a
proposed one tonne dark matter experiment using cryogenic detectors. The project
was formed in March 2005 when members of the CRESST and EDELWEISS collaborations
agreed to join forces to build the next generation dark matter search. The
ROSEBUD collaboration and other groups have since joined the experiment. EURECA
aims to search for WIMP interactions with a cross section down to 10-10pb,
which will cover the range predicted by most supersymmetry theories. We aim to
begin construction in the
Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane sometime after 2013.
The Oxford group is currently involved in
R&D activities towards EURECA including investigating
scintillators, data acquisition hardware and
software, and detector readout.
