Description

The SuperCDMS SNOLAB experiment, having concluded its Installation & Integration phase in January, is currently in its Commissioning phase. Early commissioning data, combined with data from the testing of one detector tower in CUTE in Fall 2023, is informing detector characterization, background modeling, calibration schemes, and event reconstruction techniques. This talk will summarize the commissioning status, plans for completing the remainder of the commissioning work, and plans for first science running.
