ULE WIMP Experiment
• WIMP search
• Ultra-Low Energy
wimp experiment
– HPGe detector
– Expected threshold 100
eV
– Correspond WIMP
mass limit: ~1GeV
System Structure
CsI detector structure
• Three parts of crystal
– Cylinder top with a
slope
– Tube side
– Cylinder bottom
– Optical gel connection
• Cooler hole
• Low background PMT
• Al Shell only for safety
HV Selection
•
Daq: CAMAC; Source Cs-137 ; Output: signal amplitude
• -1300V selected
• A reference if HV changed
Incidence position dependency
• Influence factors:
– Big dimension causes serious photon absorption
– Conjunction section reflection
– Cooler hole
– Only one PMT used
•
•
•
Daq: MAC
Source: Cs-137
Test consideration: height and
angular dependency
Source position dependency
Height (cm):
1.5, 7, 13, 22, 28
Angle (degree):
180
Height (cm):
5 (near the hole)
Angle (degree):
0, 90, 150, 180
Height dependency
•
•
•
Peak position
– The nearer incident position from PMT, the larger amplitude of output signal
– About 70% response while source near the bottom relating to the top position
Peak resolution
– Round 16%, best situation when source in middle height, top and bottom
worse.
Main reason: Big size causes photon absorption; pieces section reflection
Angular dependency
•
•
Peak position
– No obvious difference
Resolution
– The cable hole causes serious resolution difference, 90 degree’s
response is best. That maybe because the cooler hole is void while I
did this test. Fortunately, as a veto detector, the resolution is not very
important.

According to HV selection result, if high voltage is set at 1300V the signal
amplitude should be about 705/463 to that of 1200V, considering the scale
change, the photon collection efficiency of CsI crystal top is
705/463 * 100/50 * 5942/5884 ~= 3 times
to that of whole detector!
Summary
• Working Voltage:
– Wide range , -1300V selected
• Incidence position dependency
– Obvious height dependency, weakest situation 70% signal
amplitude compared to strongest
– Not serious angular dependency
• Internal background
– Decay chain, internal source, and Radon.
– More accurate measurement running now by HPGe detector in
Y2L
• Photon collection comparison
– Only top 3 times better than whole detector
Plan
• Pulse Shape Discrimination
• More accurate internal background content
and activity
• MC simulation
