The Lisbon-Zaragoza-Paris dark matter search

We describe an experiment to establish the feasibility of searching for evidence of cold dark matter with an intrinsic metastable superconducting detector. The experiment, based on a device composed of 100 g of Sn microspheres ≤ 20 micron in diameter, is to be placed at the 2400 mwe depth of the Can...

Description
Summary:	We describe an experiment to establish the feasibility of searching for evidence of cold dark matter with an intrinsic metastable superconducting detector. The experiment, based on a device composed of 100 g of Sn microspheres ≤ 20 micron in diameter, is to be placed at the 2400 mwe depth of the Canfranc Underground Laboratory. It is designed to operate at 100 mK, yielding an event spectrum ≤ 1.75 keV with a background rejection factor of 95%.
