Detecting Sub-GeV Dark Matter with Superconducting Nanowires
Detecting Sub-GeV Dark Matter with Superconducting Nanowires
We propose the use of superconducting nanowires as both target and sensor for direct detection of sub-GeV dark matter. With excellent sensitivity to small energy deposits on electrons, and demonstrated low dark counts, such devices could be used to probe electron recoils from dark matter scattering and absorption processes. We …
