Direct detection searches for dark matter particles using superheated bubble chambers and cryogenic liquid argon detectors
This review spotlights Canadian participation to experiments aimed at the direct detection of dark matter particles, with sensitivity over a mass range from the GeV scale to the Planck scale. Two technologies are discussed: superheated bubble chambers (PICASSO, COUPP, PICO, scintillating bubble chamber) and cryogenic liquid argon detectors (DEAP, DarkSide, ARGO). We present the recent history, current status, and future plans of these research endeavours.
