Sonnenschein" ], "categories": [ "hep-ex" ], "abstract": "The possibility of using CCD detectors in a low threshold direct detection dark matter search experiment is discussed. We present the main features of the DECam detectors that make them a good alternative for such an experiment, namely their low noise and their large depleted volume. The performance of the DECam CCDs for the detection of nuclear recoils is discussed, and a measurement of the ionization efficiency for these events is presented. Finally the plans and expected reach for the CCD Experiment at Low Background (CELB) are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2008-07-01T17:28:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "direct dark matter search", "high resistivity ccd detectors", "direct detection dark matter", "dark matter search experiment", "threshold direct detection dark" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 779768, "adsabs": "2008arXiv0802.2872E" } } }
