What is a good detector ?
It is a device that converts a physical quantity into
an electrical signal…
High efficiency
Sensitivity (high Signal/Noise)
Calibration
Compatible with electronics
Fabrication (arrays)
=> don’t reduce it to the physical principle…

Detecttion of WIMPs by the nuclear recoil (energy
deposition) WIMPs energy
WIMP ross section (very low…)
Cryogenic detectors provide best WIMP limit.
Already sensitive to SUSY models
Threshold and resolution ok
Future gains in sensitivity will depend on
improvements on different backgrounds
discrimination : R&D !!
Improve the mass :
EDW-II 40 kg for sw-n 10-8 pb
EURECA 1 ton for sw-n 10-10 pb

Heat is a nice way of detecting particles…
But other “channels” are often used and needed:
charge and light, for instance (ionization, scintillation).
Thermometer
Charge collector
Semiconductor
Light detector

Conclusion
LTD are essential for high sensitivity
instruments in astrophysics
Wide range of techniques and application
Progress in manufacturing make them
ready for applications in other fields of
science and industry
Needs a low-temperature cryogenics
