About this opportunity
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals for new, high sensitivity neutrino detectors under the Quantum Sensing of Neutrinos (QuSeN) program. The proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in neutrino detection science, devices, and systems. The detectors must utilize neutrino-matter interactions that produce low-energy nuclear recoils and athermal phonons in absorber materials with high neutron numbers at the (multi)-kilogram scale. Specifically excluded are proposals that primarily result in evolutionary improvements to existing technology. The opportunity has a proposal due date of February 3, 2025, with abstracts due by November 25, 2024.
DARPA anticipates making multiple awards ranging from $1M to $5M each for a 30-month period of performance starting around July 1, 2025. Awards may be issued as Cooperative Agreements, Procurement Contracts, or Other Transaction Agreements for Research, and will be funded under the Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910).
Synopsis
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals for new, high sensitivity neutrino detectors. Proposed research should investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in neutrino detection science, devices and systems. The Quantum Sensing of Neutrinos (QuSeN) program aims to develop neutrino detectors with greatly increased performance for detection of neutrinos from sources such as nuclear reactors and nuclear materials. Detectors will make use of neutrino - matter interactions that produce low energy nuclear recoils and athermal phonons in absorber materials with high neutron numbers at the (multi)-kilogram scale. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
