New Detection Methodologies for Dark Matter Measurements

Aparna Chakraborty, Santosh Roy, Debasish Das

Abstract: Scintillator detectors filled with liquefiable noble gas are very low background and high efficiency and high resolution detectors. Traditionally they have been used to search for very weakly interacting particles. Hypothetical particles like Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are conjectured to constitute Dark Matter. In this article we shall be encompassing such detector development presently used for such studies and further propose new configurations.
