Abstract
PICASSO (Project in Canada to Search for Supersymmetric Objects) is a dark matter search experiment located at SNOLAB. The experimental location is shielded by 6,000 meters of water equivalent rock to suppress cosmic radiation. The PICASSO experiment is using superheated droplets of C4 F lO as the active medium. The droplets are kept in suspension by a water-based polymerized gel. This type of detector (bubble detector) has several advantages:
毕加索(Project in Canada to Search for Supersymmetric Objects)是位于SNOLAB的一个暗物质搜索实验。实验地点被6000米的水当量岩石屏蔽,以抑制宇宙辐射。毕加索实验使用C4氟氯甲烷的过热液滴作为活性介质。液滴被水基聚合凝胶保持在悬浮状态。这种类型的探测器(气泡探测器)有几个优点:
