The proposal for the detector of ultimate sensitivity for Dark Matter search and low-energy neutrino detection, including that of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering, is presented, based on the technique of two-phase Cryogenic Avalanche Detectors (CRADs) in Ar. Such a detector, with a 160 l cryogenic chamber, will be able to operate in single electron counting mode with superior (~ 1 mm) spatial resolution. To obtain such characteristics, a novel technique to detect ionization signal is applied, namely an optical readout using combined multiplier comprising of Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) and a matrix of Geiger-mode APDs (GAPDs)

Two-phase Cryogenic Avalanche Detectors (CRADs) with combined THGEM/GAPD-matrix multiplier have become an emerging technique in rare-event experiments such as those of coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering and dark matter search. In this work we continue to study the performance of the two-phase CRAD in Ar with THGEM/GAPD-matrix charge/optical readout. The matrix was composed of a 3×3 array of GAPDs (Geiger-mode APDs), optically recording THGEM-hole avalanches in the Near Infrared (NIR). Gain, time, amplitude and spatial resolution properties of the combined multiplier are described.

The proposal of two neutron scattering systems for calibration of two-phase cryogenic avalanche detectors with high sensitivity being developed at Budker INP is presented. This kind of detectors is designed for the search of dark matter and low energy neutrino detection, in particular, coherent neutrino scattering on nuclei. Detector calibration is made with a measurement of ionization yield and scintillation quenching factor for low energy recoiling nuclei (in 0.5 to 100 keV range) originating from elastic scattering of neutrons. To provide wide range of recoiling nuclei energies two systems of neutron scattering are proposed. The first one is based on small-sized DD generator of fast (2.45 MeV) monoenergetic neutrons operating on sealed neutron tube. The second one is based on tandem proton accelerator and lithium target and capable of generation of monoenergetic epithermal neutrons with energy up to 100 keV
