UZ dark matter searches at Canfranc

2006

AI-generated Abstract

This paper presents the methodologies and findings from dark matter search experiments conducted at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory, focusing on the detection of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The laboratory's infrastructure supports various detection mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of low energy thresholds, high detector mass, and background discrimination to enhance the chances of discovering dark matter particles. The paper also discusses the strategies employed from 1990 to 2006, including the use of sophisticated detector technologies and the continuous adaptation to improve sensitivity and detection rates.
