Detector Technologies used for the Dark Matter Searches

Abstract

Since cosmological observations reveals that the non- baryonic content of the universe is beyond its baryonic content, a World wide increasing experimental effort is ongoing for the experimental detection of this mysterious  matter. The most compelling dark matter candidates are in the form of weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Different research groups are using different technologies and techniques to develop and operate detector systems.  In this work, the working principles and current status of the detectors developed for the dark matter searches are rewieved.

Karanlık Madde Araştırmaları için Kullanılan Dedektör Teknolojileri

Abstract

Evrendeki baryonik olmayan madde içeriğinin bilinen baryonik madde içeriğinden fazla olduğunun kozmolojik gözlemlerle açığa çıkmasından sonra, bu gizemli maddenin deneysel tespiti amacıyla dünya genelinde artan bir deneysel çalışma söz konusudur. Karanlık madde konusunda en kabul gören teorik görüş bu maddelerin zayıf etkileşimli ağır parçacıklar (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, WIMPs) olduğu yönündedir. Farklı çalışma grupları farklı teknolojiler ve teknikleri kullanarak detektör sistemleri geliştirmekte ve çalıştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, karanlık madde araştırmaları için geliştirilen detektörlerin çalışma prensipleri ve şu anda gelinen mevcut durumları değerlendirilmiştir.
