Active Shielding for Future Large-Scale Dark Matter Experiments
Original language description
Focusing on large scale cryogenic dark matter searches, two active shielding technologies were designed, which allow to efficiently reduce muon-induced and ambient neutron background sources in dark matter experiments below 1 event/tonne/year: a water Cherenkov detector (WCD) and a Gd-loaded liquid scintillator. Neutrons are the most critical background source in dark matter experiments as the single nuclear recoil (SNR) of a neutron scattering in the detector produces the same signal as expected from a dark matter interaction.
