1 DETECTOR RESPONSE TO LOW ENERGY NUCLEAR RECOILS D Ann Barker and D.-M. Mei University of South Dakota
2 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 2 Low Energy WIMP Induced Nuclear Recoils WIMP WIMP Elastic scattering Conservation of Momentum WIMP velocity ~ 240 km/s Nucleus WIMP mass determines recoil energy 100 GeV mass, E r 20 kev 10 GeV mass, E r 2 kev Recoiling Nucleus How do we detect such a small energy?
3 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 3 Detection Techniques Solid State Pure ionization: CoGeNT, CDEX Ionization collecting electron-hole pairs No discrimination between e-recoil and n-recoil Ionization and scintillation: DAMA/LIBRA Ionization scintillation light Limited e/n recoil discrimination with pulse shapes Ionization and heat (Bolometer): CDMS, EDELWEISS Ionization collecting electron-hole pairs Temperature changes (heat) measured Excellent e/n recoil discrimination with ionization yield per total energy Ionization/scintillation and heat: CRESST Ionization scintillation light Temperature changes (heat) measured Good e/n recoil discrimination with ionization yield per total energy
4 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 4 Detection Techniques Nobel Liquids Ionization + scintillation single phase argon Ionization scintillation light Timing difference between the single-state and triple-state allows an excellent pulse shape discrimination for n-recoil against e-recoil Ionization + scintillation dual phase Xe/Ar Ionization scintillation light (signal 1, S 1 ) Electrons drifted to gas phase (signal 2, S 2 ) Discrimination provided by ratio S 2 /S 1 Key: Ionization
5 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 5 Ionization Efficiency Definition: the fraction of energy deposition that ionizes the orbital electrons of the surrounding atoms It is usually calculated using electronic stopping power and nuclear stopping power Ionization efficiency:! η = de $ # & " dx %! ν = de $ # & " dx % elec nucl ε = η η +ν
6 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 6 Ionization Efficiency & Visible Energy Pure ionization detectors E r : nuclear recoil energy E v : visible energy Ionization and scintillation detectors ζ: scintillation efficiency E r = E v ε E r = E v ε ζ
7 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 7 Nuclear Recoil Energy & WIMPs Nuclear recoil energy must be measured as accurate as possible WIMPs with 100 GeV Ionization efficiency is critical WIMPs with 10 GeV
8 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 8 Understanding Physics Processes Behind Ionization Efficiency Outgoing WIMP Recoiling Nucleus Ion WIMP Electronic Stopping Power Nuclear Stopping Power Non-Ionizing Nuclear Electronic
9 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 9 New Definition of Ionization Efficiency Correct for nuclear portion contributing to signal ε = η + ( c ν ) η +ν Nuclear Component Larger than traditionally calculated
10 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 10 Calculated the Ionization Efficiency for Germanium
11 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 11 Comparison Between Models
12 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 12 Comparison Between Models
13 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 13 Verification of the Model How to accurately measure the low energy nuclear recoils? Thermal neutrons only for energy below 1 kev Elastic scattering with TOF, difficult to set up Inelastic scattering of 72 Ge(n,n,e) E0 Transition Can access low energy Monte Carlo Recoil Energy 692 kev
14 11/11/11 D. Barker AARM Minneapolis, MN 14 Scintillators are more complicated A combination of ionization efficiency and scintillation efficiency How to decouple the convolution? Without electric field o Calculate ε as accurately as possible o Birk s law ζ = 1 1+ kb de dx kb: Birk s constant E r = E v ε ζ ζ = 1 1+ kb de ρe D dx Ionization must be calculated correctly With electric field kb: Birk s constant, E D : electric field
