Feasibility study of a ZnWO4 scintillator for exploiting materials signature in cryogenic WIMP dark matter searches

The mass number dependence of the WIMP-nucleus scattering offers a method for identifying a true WIMP signal over a neutron background. In this Letter we present a study on using a combination of ZnWO4 and CaWO4 absorbers to exploit this materials signature for WIMP detection. Using monochromatic X-...
