AbstraktAbstract
The Project In CAnada to Search for Supersymmetric Objects (PICASSO) at SNOLAB searches forWeakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) interactions with F-19. It is particularly sensitive to spin-dependent particle interactions. It uses a droplet technique, based on the principle of a bubble chamber, in which phase transitions in superheated liquids can be triggered by WIMP induced nuclear recoils. The detection process allows a highly efficient suppression of backgrounds from cosmic muons, gamma rays and electrons. Recent results and progress are presented and future plans to scale this technique to large masses with the PICO collaboration are briefly discussed. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
