Description
I will present a paleo-detector dark matter sensitivity analysis based on a calorimetric readout, in which the number of stable lattice vacancies produced by each nuclear recoil is used as a per-event observable complementary to the track length. The combination with track length provides an event-by-event proxy for |dE/dx| and hence for
the recoiling nuclear species and will discuss implication for dark matter sensitivity. I also will present updates on large volume results obtained with the mesoSPIM@VT.
