Descripción
The Microbulk type Micromegas technology is well-suited for low-background applications and is currently utilized in detectors for CAST and IAXO (solar axions) as well as TREX-DM (low mass WIMPs) experiments. Future challenges involve reducing intrinsic background levels, achieving lower energy detection thresholds, and addressing technical concerns such as detector robustness, innovative design considerations, exploration of new gas mixtures and operational parameters, scaling up to larger detector dimensions, managing high readout granularity, among others. In this presentation, we will discuss the current status and future prospects of Micromegas detector development within the framework of IAXO and TREX-DM experiments, pointing to promising perspectives for the use of these detectors in direct dark matter searches.
