Fabrication and response of high concentration SIMPLE superheated droplet detectors with different liquids

The combined measurement of dark matter interactions with different superheated liquids has recently been suggested as a cross-correlation technique in identifying WIMP candidates. We describe the fabrication of high concentration superheated droplet detectors based on the light nuclei liquids C₃F₈, C₄F₈, C₄F₁₀ and CCl₂F₂, and investigation of their irradiation response with respect to C₂ClF₅. The results are discussed in terms of the basic physics of superheated liquid response to particle interactions, as well as the necessary detector qualifications for application in dark matter search investigations. The possibility of heavier nuclei SDDs is explored using the light nuclei results as a basis, with CF₃I provided as an example.
