Description

Thin and wide area inorganic crystal was applied to search for WIMPs dark matter. A multilayer NaI(Tl) detector has great advantages for WIMPs dark matter search. The performance of the thin (5mm thickness) and wide area (18 cm x 18 cm) was developed. The performance tests were performed and the results were good for dark matter search.
