Abstract :
We propose to install a Box ARrangement of GErmanium detectors In liquid Nitrogen (BARGEIN) applying the new detector concept of operating high-purity germanium (HP-Ge) detectors directly in liquid nitrogen as it was developed for the GENIUS project. This setup will improve the sensitivity towards weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) dark matter detection by an order of magnitude compared to the Heidelberg–Moscow experiment. The evidence contour claimed by the DAMA collaboration would be fully tested on a short time scale.
