[Triumf-seminars] Updated Colloquium Date by Federica Petricaa

[TRIUMF Seminars]

Dear Seminar Enthusiasts,

The colloquium on "Hunting the missing matter of 
the Universe with ultra-sensitive cryogenic 
detectors" by Federica Petricca (Max Planck 
Institute) scheduled for today has been moved to 
2-3pm tomorrow due to a scheduling conflict. Both 
in-person and remote options will be provided.

2-3pm, Wednesday, June 7, 2023
Federica Petricca (MPI)
"Hunting the missing matter of the Universe with 
ultra-sensitive cryogenic detectors"

The understanding of the missing matter in our 
Universe is one of the most pressing questions in 
particle physics today. Among different 
approaches, one possibility is to directly search 
for hypothetical Dark Matter (DM) particles, 
detecting the nuclear recoils arising from elastic 
scattering between DM particles and target nuclei. 
CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with 
Superconducting Thermometers) is a cryogenic 
experiment located at the Gran Sasso underground 
laboratory (Italy) that uses scintillating CaWO4 
crystals as target material for elastic DM-nucleus 
scattering. Thanks to this approach, nuclear 
recoils as low as 10 eV can be detected, allowing 
for unprecedented sensitivity in the search for 
sub-GeV/c2 DM candidates. In this seminar, the 
features of cryogenic detectors and the most 
recent results from CRESST will be presented, 
together with the perspective for the next phase 
of the experiment, which also includes sensitivity 
for a large number of rare event searches.
