    Research Project
    Active Inner Veto for Improved SuperCDMS SNOLAB Dark Matter Search Sensitivity

    The goal of this project was to develop and study a new geometry of cryogenic detector that could act as an active veto surrounding a smaller, inner cryogenic detector. This drastically reduces the background event rates, enabling more effective rare event searches. An annular germanium detector was fabricated with athermal phonon sensors and successfully tested. A threshold of better than 10keV was desired; 4keV was demonstrated.
