摘要：

The presented results are part of a feasibility study of a Superheated Superconducting Granule (SSG) device for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) detection. The sensitivity of SSG to nuclear recoils has been explored irradiating SSG detectors with a 70MeV neutron beam proving that energy thresholds of approximately 1keV can be reached in 30mum Zn and 17mum Sn granules. The successful irradiation experiments with neutrons encouraged us to plan a prototype SSG dark matter detector. The status of the project will be presented and the expected counting rate for spin-independent WIMP interactions in SSG detectors will be discussed.
