Future Direct Dark Matter Search with EURECA — •Jean-Côme Lanfranchi for the EURECA collaboration — TU München, James-Franck-Strasse, 85748 Garching
EURECA (European Underground Rare Event Calorimeter Array) is a future ton-scale experiment aimed at the direct detection of Dark Matter (DM). It is based on detector technology as used in the running low-temperature experiments CRESST and EDELWEISS. EURECA strives for a final sensitivity in the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross-section of ∼2x10−11pb. Unlike other direct DM searches EURECA offers the unique possibility to probe the WIMP parameter space using multiple target materials such as Ge and CaWO4. The present status as well as future plans and technological challenges of the experiment will be discussed. This research was supported by the DFG cluster of excellence: Origin and Structure of the Universe, the Helmholtz Alliance for Astroparticle Phyiscs, the Maier-Leibnitz-Laboratorium (Garching) and by the BMBF: Project 05A11WOC EURECA-XENON.
