AbstraktAbstract

We report new results obtained from calibrations of superheated liquid droplet detectors used in dark matter searches with different radiation sources (n, alpha, gamma). In particular, detectors were spiked with alpha-emitters located inside and outside the droplets. It is shown that the responses have different temperature thresholds, depending on whether alpha-particles or recoil nuclei create the signals.
