UZ Dark Matter Searches at Canfranc
2006
A lasting Dark Matter Search Program is being carried out in the facilities of the Canfranc Underground Laboratory since 1990 with the participation of the University of Zaragoza (UZ) Nuclear and Astroparticle Physics group. A brief summary of the most relevant experiments will be followed by the report on the status of the present experimental efforts at Canfranc: ANAIS and ROSEBUD. ANAIS (Annual modulation with NAI) will look for the annual modulation effect in the WIMP signal with about 100 kg sodium iodide as target. In the framework of the ROSEBUD (Rare Objects SEarch with Bolometers UnDerground) collaboration, the particle discrimination capability of different scintillating bolometers has been tested. These detectors are showing excellent performances for their application in dark matter searches and enable a multi‐target strategy in the search for WIMPs, which is planned to be used in the near future at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory.
