The SuperCDMS Experiment at SNOLAB

ORAL

Abstract

The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (SuperCDMS) SNOLAB is a direct detection dark matter (DM) experiment located 2 km underground in the Creighton mine near Sudbury, Canada. The experiment aims to directly detect low-mass DM particles by using cryogenic germanium and silicon detectors instrumented with superconducting sensors. The unique mix of target substrates and detector technologies will allow SuperCDMS to probe the DM parameter space with world-leading sensitivity in the mass range from 0.5 to 5 GeV/c2. The commissioning phase began in late 2025, and the first science data run is expected to begin by mid-2026. This talk will be an overview of the experiment, its scientific goals, and the status of the experiment at SNOLAB.
