Abstract

Problems of dark matter (DM) particle detection are briefly reviewed. An original two-channel scheme for direct detection of cosmic DM particles is proposed. This scheme is based on a superlow-temperature calorimeter which includes a nuclear spin system whose magnetic response is measured by a quantum interferometer (SQUID). Low threshold and the capability for efficiently suppressing the recoil-electron background are the most important advantages of the proposed scheme. They make it possible to detect DM particles in the range of extremely low recoil energies and carry out direct DM search with high sensitivity.
