Description

The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) SNOLAB experiment is currently under construction 2 km underground at the SNOLAB facility near Sudbury, Canada. The experiment will utilize 24 cryogenic germanium and silicon calorimeter detectors, with the aim of achieving world-leading sensitivity in the direct search for dark matter (DM) particles interacting with nuclei, spanning DM particle masses from 0.5 to 5 GeV. Additionally, the experiment will investigate electron scattering of MeV-scale DM particles and the absorption of eV-scale dark photons and axion-like particles (ALPs). This talk will describe the detector technology, highlighting the achievements in the experiment installation and outline the expected scientific impact.
