报告题目：和SuperCDMS实验一起探寻暗物质

Title: Detecting Dark Matter with SuperCDMS Experiment

摘要：暗物质是一种基于天文观测的假说理论。如果暗物质被证实存在，依据现有数据推测，它很可能占了宇宙能量组成的四分之一以上。尽管在天文观测中有种种证据支持其存在，至今还没有在地球上的探测器捕捉到暗物质信号。SuperCDMS实验用工作在超低温(50 mK)的硅和锗探测器试图捕捉暗物质信号。在这个报告里，我将讨论SuperCDMS探测器使用的技术，SuperCDMS实验的现状，以及下一阶段SuperCDMS实验的预期灵敏度。

Abstract: Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that, if it exists, may account for more than a quarter of the energy density of our universe. Despite the variety of astrophysical evidence pointing to its existence, the direct interaction of dark matter in a terrestrial detector is yet to be observed. The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) experiment tries to observe a dark matter signal in silicon and germanium detectors operated around 50 miliKelvin. In this talk, I will discuss the technology, the current status, and the projected sensitivity of the next generation SuperCDMS experiment.
