  • Abstract
    Evidence from astrophysics and particle physics suggest that weakly interacting massive particles(WIMPs) may comprise most of the mass of the galaxy. If these particles exist, they can be detected by cryogenic detectors. The superheated superconducting colloid detector is well suited for use in the search for WIMPs. The earth´s motion around the Sun provides a distinctive signal which can be used to confirm a detection.
