Description

Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (Super- CDMS) is a direct dark matter search experiment whose primary aim is to detect Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) that are dark matter candidates. We have made an attempt to obtain energy deposition PDF using GEANT4 simulations. Although GEANT4 provides several particles for use in simulation, there is no LIP or fractionally charged particle already defined in GEANT4. We present some results obtained after the implementation of LIPs in GEANT4
